Added to the $302 million taken in internationally, the film's estimated total of $455 million for the three-day weekend would give it the sixth highest global debut ever, according to Variety, and the best domestic start for a superhero film since Disney and Marvel's"Black Panther" opened last year with $202 million .
Trailing light-years behind in second place, at $14.7 million, was Universal's"How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World," which had topped the North American box office for two straight weekends.
