On its eighth weekend, Black Panther (2018) surpasses James Cameron's classic drama Titanic (1997) in the local box office.
The Disney-Marvel film places third on the all-time North American movie charts, and has reportedly made roughly $6 million more than the romantic tragedy. In second is sci-fi film Avatar (2009), right behind Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015).
Although this win focuses on numbers unadjusted to inflation, it's still a win worth celebrating. And the Internet seems to agree.
Black Panther just passed Titanic and is now the third highest grossing film of all time in the U.S. 🙅🏾♀️🙅🏿♂️ https://t.co/KZDOVgKcoF

That's because unlike the characters in Titanic Black Panther never freezes. https://t.co/l8eJsdMhtN

WE HAVE WATCED AND LISTENED FROM THE HOODS! WE HAVE WATCHED IN DISGUST AS ROSE LET JACK FREEZE TO DEATH! AND NOW WE WISH TO TAKE THIS TITLE FROM A MOVIE, WHO COULD NOT KEEP ITS OWN CHARACTER SAFE. https://t.co/kTiZVNuND7
