While Marvel's Black Panther earned near-universal praise following its world premiere on Monday, positive reviews don't always translate into a hefty box office. In the case of director Ryan Coogler's film, however, that early buzz appears to stoking what were already record-setting advance ticket sales.

According to online ticket retailer Fandango, Black Panther sales have outpaced those of all other superhero films. The feature vaulted to the top of the website's daily ticket sales on Tuesday, following the Hollywood premiere, and it still remained there today, more than two weeks away from its theatrical debut.

Fandango also surveyed 1,000 Black Panther ticket buyers to find out what was driving interest in the film. Ninety-seven percent of respondents said they're "looking forward to a different kind of superhero movie," while 95 percent are drawn to "the film's positive message." Another 93 percent can't wait to see Chadwick Boseman reprise his role as T'Challa following Captain America: Civil War, and 86 percent are excited for the Dora Milaje, the king of Wakanda's elite female bodyguards.
