Black Panther kicked ass in revenue earnings. I'm still blown away that it outperformed Infinity War on a global scale. How is that even possible? I mean, Black Panther was a good movie, but I'm amazed that that sole character's movie (which I see as a B character in the Marvel Universe compared to the likes of Iron Man/Hulk/Thor/Captain America) outperformed the aggregate of all of them in one movie.

For the record, it's not possible, since it didn't happen. Black Panther did kick ass in revenue earnings, but it did not remotely outperform Infinity War on a global scale. Infinity War crushed Black Panther on a global scale. What Black Panther did do was edge Infinity War in the US alone:

Infinity War worldwide: $2,048.4 million
Black Panther worldwide: $1,346.9 million

Black Panther domestic: $700.1 million
Infinity War domestic: $678.8 million

All that said...It still impresses me that it outdid Avengers in the US. I mean...Why would more people want to go see just Black Panther over the Avengers? I actually didn't go see Black Panther in theaters (or any of the Captain Americas...or Thor...Only the Iron Mans and Avengers). Weird.

Easy. In the US, African Americans account for 15% of viewership of the average movie. For Black Panther, African Americans accounted for 37% of total viewership.

Without going political, it is obvious why BP did so well in the US. I agree, though, that it is kinda surprising that it still did better than A:IW, though. A:IW was a monster movie.

I think that in order to fully get IW, you needed to have seen just about every damn MCU movie created.

If you were going in without seeing any of the others, you were bound to be lost.

Black Panther was a better movie than Infinity War.

That's not the reason it did better but it works for me.
