Black Panther had one of the best second weekends ever, collecting about $108 million in ticket sales, The Associated Press reports. The Marvel blockbuster, directed by Ryan Coogler, is only the fourth film in history to make more than $100 million in its second weekend. Only Star Wars: The Force Awakens brought in more, with a $149.2 million haul in its second weekend. Jurassic World made $107 million, and The Avengers brought in $103 million.

After making $202 million in its opening weekend, Black Panther is on track to be one of the highest-grossing blockbusters ever. It has already grossed $400 million domestically and $704 million worldwide. Its debut in China, the second largest film market, is scheduled for March 9.
