Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan), left, and T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) face off in “Black Panther.” (Disney/Marvel 2018)“Black Panther” can’t stop, won’t stop making money at the box office. Ryan Coogler’s take on the beloved Marvel character grossed nearly $1.08 billion at the global box office in just four weeks, according to estimates published Sunday by Box Office Mojo. Well, “Black Panther” sat atop of the box office in China and grossed an estimated $22.7 million during its Friday premiere. And in the process, “Black Panther” bucked any old industry notion that films starring black people are inherent commercial risks in the Asian nation. ‘Black Panther’ is king.
