It took six months, but Marvel’s blockbuster “Black Panther” just hit another box-office milestone.
The movie crossed $700 million in North America over the weekend, joining only two other films to ever do so. Despite being available on home release platforms like Blu-ray and DVD since May, “Black Panther” is still playing in a small amount of theaters.
According to Forbes, the movie grossed $12,000 on Thursday from 15 screens, and $16,000 on Friday from 25 screens, which helped it creep up to the significant $700 million club. The Hollywood Reporter said Disney altered the movie’s theater count in recent weeks to avoid an official re-release.
When it came to theaters in February, “Black Panther” opened to $242 million over the four-day Presidents Day weekend, and has since grossed over $1 billion worldwide.
Below are the three films to ever hit $700 million domestically, ranked by how much they made at the domestic box office (based on data from Box Office Mojo):
