Black Panther registered with more than just celebs it seems. The Ryan Coogler-directed film amassed a projected $235 million-plus over the four-day holiday weekend. It actually surpassed original estimates of its opening weekend box office haul and had the fifth-biggest domestic opening of all time, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Those numbers could continue to climb as Monday’s earnings are factored in.
