The Disney-Marvel movie 'Black Panther' has received the
fifth-biggest opening of all time by raking in a whopping $192 million in the
debut weekend.
The Ryan Coogler-directorial has blown away the record for
the largest opening for an African-American director which belonged to F. Gary
Gray and 'The Fate of the Furious', which opened to $98 million last April,
reports CNN.
The Chadwick Boseman starrer film set a new record for a
February opening, besting 'Deadpool', which started with $132.4 million and
$152.2 million for the same three- and four-day weekend in 2016.
It's
also the third-biggest opening for a superhero movie: 'The Avengers' opened with
$80 million and 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' opened with $84 million
