What movie earned the most money during a Presidents Day weekend release?
Studios used to treat February like a movie graveyard, dumping their least promising and cheesiest Valentine's Day flicks into the President's Day slot. But in the last decade, this winter weekend transformed into prime box office real estate. One film took it to a whole new level by absolutely obliterating every President's Day record. Which movie turned this once-sleepy weekend into one of Hollywood's favorite launch dates?

Correct Answer: Black Panther
Marvel's "Black Panther" shattered box office records during its President's Day weekend release in 2018, raking in an unprecedented $242 million over the four-day holiday period, becoming the first comic book movie nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards while earning more than $1.3 billion worldwide. The gap between "Black Panther" and second-place "Deadpool" was so massive ($152 million) that the difference alone would rank as the sixth-highest President's Day opening ever.
