That's the fifth biggest opening of all time!
Disney estimates that the film will bring in $218 million domestically for the four day holiday weekend, according to CNN. The film brought in an opening of $361 million around the world.
Black Panther also shattered the record for an opening in February, which belonged to Deadpool, the superhero film that brought in $132 million when it opened in 2016, CNN reports.
A number of prominent entertainment and sports figures - such as TI, Serena Williams, Octavia Spencer, and many more - have hosted free screenings of Black Panther.
