"Black Panther" fought off a challenge from "Tomb Raider," topping the box office again with an estimated $27 million haul over the weekend.
The Marvel movie becomes the first film to top the box office for five straight weeks since "Avatar" in 2009. "Black Panther" is also less than $18 million shy of passing "The Avengers" as the highest-grossing superhero movie of all time.
Overseas, "Black Panther" added an estimated $30 million, bringing its worldwide tally to more than $1.183 billion.
