With the weekend coming to an end and a new year just beginning, check out how the North American box office fared. As expected, this was the weekend of Black Panther and probably the first of many to come, breaking plenty of records already and will surely break many more. With the majority of movie goers flocking to Black Panther, the rest of the chart unsurprisingly took a hit with the new wide release of Early Man finishing in a distant seventh place. The question is how long with Black Panther stay at the top?
