Black Panther, the first superhero film with a predominantly black cast, has passed the $1bn (£794m) mark at the worldwide box office.
Disney, which is behind the film, based the figure on ticket sale estimates and comes on the 26th day of the film's release.
The Marvel superhero hit starring British actors Daniel Kaluuya, Letitia Wright and Martin Freeman is the fifth in Disney's Marvel Universe to reach the milestone.
It is also the 33rd film to join the box office billion-dollar club, and the 16th Disney title to do so.
Other Marvel films to go over the $1bn mark include The Avengers (2012), Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), Iron Man 3 (2013) and Captain America: Civil War (2016).


Earlier this week, UK box office figures revealed it was out-performing superhero flicks Iron Man, Thor and Captain America after taking £35.4m in its first three weeks.
On Friday, it opened in China, the world's second-largest movie market, and raked in $22.7m on the first day

North Korea tests completed Yongbyon nuclear reactor, say analysts

New post North Korea tests completed Yongbyon nuclear reactor, say analysts Image: Experts say recent satellite imagery shows testing has begun at the Yongbyon reactor North Korea has begun testing a nuclear reactor that could be used to produce weapons-grade plutonium, according to intelligence analysts. The country has been developing an experimental light water reactor at the Yongbyon Atomic Energy Research Centre for several years, but activity is said to have increased in recent months. Experts say recent satellite imagery shows the reactor has been structurally finished and there is evidence testing has begun. According to a report by intelligence analysts Jane's Intelligence Review, the imagery showed emissions on non-condensable gases from a stack at the reactor. Although the reactor could be used to produce weapons-grade plutonium, North Korea is believed to already have enough fissile material for several nuclear bombs. Construction of the...

How to prepare Chicken Miso Meatballs in 3 easy steps

Chicken Miso Meatballs Ground chicken bosom meat is genuinely lean, so milk is added to this formula to keep them damp and delicate.  As the meatballs prepare, the miso caramelizes into exquisite chomps of sweet-pungent umami.  Disintegrated Ritz wafers add lavishness and make a more succulent meatball (however plain, dry bread pieces will likewise work). To make the Ritz morsels, place the wafers in a resealable plastic pack and delicately squash them with the rear of a wooden spoon or estimating cup.  These additionally make a scrumptious hors d'oeuvre: Simply fold the blend into more modest 1-inch balls. For a fast plunging sauce, join 2 sections soy sauce to 1 section refined white vinegar, and add cut scallions, or red-pepper pieces, assuming you like hotness. INGREDIENTS  ¼   cup whole milk 3   tablespoons sweet white miso 1   tablespoon minced garlic 1   teaspoons kosher salt ¾   teaspoon black pepper ½   cup finely crushed Ritz c...

Cakes you should taste before the end of the year

Chocolate and Almond Tiger Cake This almond cake depends on lenders, the little, typically ingot-formed cakes originally made in Paris in the last part of the 1880s. The baked good gourmet specialist Lasne made and named them for his stockbroker clients, keeping them simple and slick to eat on the run - piece of cake. Made with egg whites, ground nuts and a great deal of dissolved margarine, the formula is enticingly riffable. My beloved take is the tigré, a round, chocolate-dotted cake finished off with a spot of ganache. Years prior, I misread the name, and I've called them tiger cakes from that point forward. My play on the tiger is a huge cake, somewhat less rich than the first, go through with cleaved chocolate and covered with enough ganache to leave obvious smircesh. Stockbrokers be careful. Recipes  5 tablespoons/70 grams unsalted butter, plus more for the pan ½ cup/65 grams all-purpose flour, plus more for the pan ¾ cup/150 grams granulated sugar ½ teaspoon baking powder ¼...
