13 Huge Movies That Black Panther Destroyed At The Box Office

1. Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Box Office: $1.332 billion.

And finally, we have the unthinkable box office milestone that even Black Panther's most passionate cheerleaders surely never saw coming ahead of release: mere days ago, the movie passed Star Wars: The Last Jedi at the worldwide box office.

Even the worst Star Wars movies have been able to effortlessly print money, so even factoring in the somewhat divisive fan response to The Last Jedi - which perhaps lessened the number of people returning for repeat viewings - that one of the most iconic, beloved franchises in history was defeated by a comparatively unassuming superhero movie is sure to be the biggest box office story of the entire year.

It'll be interesting to see how Episode IX measures up to Black Panther's box office take, because if The Last Jedi turned even a small collective of fans off the franchise forever, T'Challa's time schooling the Star Wars franchise may be very far from over.

Which of Black Panther's huge box office victories shocked you the most? Shout them out in the comments!
