Looks like “Black Panther” is one step closer to hitting the billion-dollar mark.
In its second weekend, “Black Panther” collected almost $108 million in the U.S. and Canada, making the total after only 12 days, $704 million.
The movie is doing extremely well considering Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” collected $773 million in 2014 over a span of five months.
