    The film "Black Panther" starring Chadwick Boseman smashed box office records over the weekend with a $218 million haul in North America. The movie, which features a predominantly black cast and was directed by Ryan Coogler, became the top-grossing film of all time by a black director. Global ticket sales for the film are estimated to reach $387 million by Monday, breaking previous records and myths that movies centered around black culture cannot succeed internationally. Disney supported the film with an extensive nine-month marketing campaign that helped drive massive ticket sales and crowds showing up in outfits inspired by the film.

    LOS ANGELES — Hail, King T’Challa.

    The Disney-Marvel movie “Black Panther,” which finds the superheroic


    T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) returning to his remote African kingdom
    to assume the throne, roared into theaters over the weekend as a full-
    blown cultural event, breaking box office records and shattering a
    myth about the overseas viability of movies rooted in black culture.
    Global ticket sales by Monday will total an estimated $387 million,
    according to comScore.

    “Black Panther” instantly became the top-grossing film in history by a


    black director (Ryan Coogler) and featuring a largely black cast. The
    previous record-holder was “Straight Outta Compton,” which collected
    $214 million worldwide in 2015 — over its entire run — after adjusting
    for inflation.

    Disney, which supported “Black Panther” with a lavish nine-month


    marketing campaign, said on Sunday that ticket sales for the film in
    North America will total roughly $218 million between Friday and
    Monday. Theaters scrambled to add show times to accommodate
    crowds; AMC Southlake 24 in suburban Atlanta squeezed in 84 show
    times on Friday alone. In many cities, moviegoers arrived in outfits
    inspired by the film.
