For years, James Cameron's Titanic was the golden standard by which all American theatrical releases were judged, the magic money maker that no one would ever beat. Then, Cameron himself beat it, with Avatar, and a few years later Star Wars: The Force Awakens rocketed past both of those.
Now, Ryan Coogler's Black Panther, having grossed around $661 million in its incredible box office run, has narrowly edged the ship-sinking epic out, cementing its place as the third highest-grossing US theatrical release of all time.
"Black Panther", featuring an all-black cast, falls behind "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" ($936.7 million) and "Avatar" ($760.5 million), with a domestic total of $659.3 milion till Friday, according to hollywoodreporter.com.
