As it did at the US domestic box office, Black Panther has cruised past The Last Jedi to take the title of the top selling Blu-Ray of 2018, with Avengers: Infinity War likely to pass both before the years out. At the worldwide box office, Black Panther ultimately pushed The Last Jedi back out of the top ten, taking $1,346,851,257 compared to Jedi with $1,332,539,889.
ComicBook.com took a look at those all-important sales numbers.
As revealed by The-Numbers, Black Panther has sold more than 3,912,932 units and exceeded more than $82.2 million in sales since its May 15 release. That puts Black Panther ahead of The Last Jedi, released two months earlier on March 27, which has earned $84.9 million with 3,896,015 units sold.
Worldwide, The Last Jedi still holds the top spot at 3,024,845 units sold at $69.5 million to Black Panther’s 2,654,015 units with $59.9 million. Avengers: Infinity War, which emerged as the highest-grossing movie of 2018 with a $2.046 billion worldwide haul, has yet to rank on the list since its August 14 disc debut.
Black Panther has also moved the most DVDs in the U.S. at 1,258,917 units and $22.2 million earned, ahead of Coco (1,184,204 units and $18.9m), Dwayne Johnson’s Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (1,089,979 units and $19.1m), Greatest Showman (970,312 units and $14.2m), and Wonder (903,060 units and $12.7m). The Last Jedi ranks sixth at 871,170 units and $15.4m.
A worldwide phenomenon, the Ryan Coogler-directed Black Panther proved the second-best earner of 2018 — behind only Infinity War — with a $1.34 billion box office haul, making it the ninth highest-grossing movie of all time. Black Panther became just the third film to reach $700 million at the domestic box office, coming in ahead of Infinity War ($678m) and behind only Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($936m) and James Cameron’s Avatar ($760m).
