Speaking of beating Star Wars, 'Black Panther' also just passed 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' worldwide gross, making it at its peak the 9th-highest-grossing film of all time. I'm still not sure if with the release of 'Infinity War', means the amount 'Black Panther' will now make in theaters will decrease, remain the same, or increase.

Wooooooo!! Suck it Disney!! - oh, wait.

As for Black Panther, it'll probably go down, just because it's older. It's also only going to be in American theaters (where it's made the vast majority of its money) for another 2-3 weeks, so naturally people are going to pile out and wait to grab it for the home before it gets thrown in the Disney Vault.

Cool poster, also.

EDIT: Apparently I was wrong. Black Panther actually moved from eighth place to fifth at the box office, according to Box Office Mojo. I just noticed that too. Main reason I wasn't sure is if it will manage to pass the 8th place movie, 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallow Part 2', or not. If it's still in theaters in the next couple of weeks before the home-video and digital release, then I thought it might get a bump from people rewatching or who missed it, after having seen 'Infinity War'. But even if it does, it might not be noteworthy.

And yeah, as others have pointed out, it's pretty funny how Disney at this point are basically competing with themselves for the top spots. Some people may say that's a bad thing with them conquering it, which they may have a point in, but they don't seem to apply that pressure to and demand more from the other movie studios by telling them to step up their games.
