Black Panther was thought to be a frontrunner for the Oscar's "Popular Film" category, but the Academy postponed those plans after a public backlash. Now Black Panther will compete for Best Picture, as some argue it deserved to do all along.

Black Panther ended its record-breaking theatrical run as just the third movie in history to make more than $700 million at the domestic box office. The film has earned more than $1.3 billion worldwide.

Black Panther set new records throughout its box office run, beginning with its $242.1 million President's Day weekend opening, including $202 million earned Friday-Sunday. It also had the then second-best, now third-best second weekend ever with $111.7 million.

Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige previously spoke about Black Panther's Oscar potential.

"I think there are a lot of amazing artists that helped to make that movie, and it would be wonderful if they could be recognized," Feige told Vox. "Almost everyone involved in that movie, bringing that movie together, is great, and it would be wonderful to see if they're recognized. We'll see. This genre, typically not.

"And I think it would be a wonderful thing for Panther and for our production designer Hannah [Beachler], and our costume designer Ruth [Carter], and for Ryan [Coogler] who co-wrote the script with Joe Robert Cole, and of course directed the movie. And Michael B. Jordan, and Chadwick [Boseman] and Lupita [Nyong'o] and Letitia [Wright]," Feige added.
