‘Black Panther’ Earnings: $1.3B

Marvel’s Afro-futurist superhero movie killed it at the box office. “Black Panther” earned a domestic gross of just over $700 million, but its worldwide performance netted Marvel a total box office gross of $1.3 billion. Plus, the movie made a cool $202 million during its opening weekend. It is the highest-grossing film on this list, and it beat out the worldwide performance of best picture winner “Green Book” by over a billion.

Although the film did not win an Oscar for best picture, the fact that a comic-based movie garnered such recognition — it’s the first superhero film to be nominated for best picture — was seen as a milestone for many.

Controversy surrounded the film since Bryan Singer, the director with several allegations of sexual misconduct against him, was originally tapped to direct the movie. The movie won awards for both film and sound editing.

“The Favourite” was a favorite for many filmgoers. Although an initial limited release might’ve hurt its box office potential, it still scored a respectable $83.2 million worldwide, with more than $50 million of it due to foreign interest in the film.

Olivia Colman, who plays an irascible version of Queen Anne in the movie, beat out Glenn Close to take home an award for best actress in a leading role.
