    by Sonaiya Kelley, Los Angeles Times Feb 19, 2018 4 minutes

    LOS ANGELES - "Black Panther" fever took over Los Angeles and beyond this weekend as the highly anticipated Disney film opened to the kind of fervor typically reserved for the latest offering in the "Star Wars" franchise.

    The Marvel Entertainment release took in an estimated $192 million over the weekend domestically, making it the highest February film debut ever. Its fortunes are expected to rise to $218 million through the Presidents Day holiday, according to figures from measurement firm comScore, which would make it one of the top five opening weekends of all time. The previous February record had been held by "Deadpool," which grossed $152.2 million over the long Presidents Day weekend in 2016.
