Hollywood Reporter:

The Ryan Coogler-directed movie — unprecedented in being a big-budget studio tentpole featuring a virtually all-black cast — secured the fifth-biggest domestic opening of all time after blasting past all expectations. It's also the best launch of any superhero film behind fellow Marvel title The Avengers (2012), which earned $207.4 million in its first three days, not accounting for inflation.

Unbelievably well deserved.

After this and Creed, if I’m Hollywood, I’m giving Coogler a blank check for his next film.

Normally, this is where I’d push that I’d hope that he creates some amazing, original films, but given what he’s brought to existing properties like Rocky and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I think Coogler might need to get lined up with a Star Wars flick.
