'Black Panther' makes box office history, crosses $1.1b

Ryan Coogler's comic-book sensation "Black Panther" on Sunday became the first film since James Cameron's 2009 smash "Avatar" to top the weekend box office five straight weekends.

The Disney release grossed $27 million in ticket sales over the weekend, according to studio estimates, pushing its domestic haul to $605.4 million.

Worldwide, "Black Panther" has grossed more than $1.1 billion, according to ABC News.

Though "Black Panther" has had little competition to contend with throughout February and March, such consistency is especially rare in today's movie-going world.

Before "Avatar," the last film to do it was 1999's "The Sixth Sense."
