'Blockbuster' is a direct loanword from English. In German, it is used with the same meaning for a very successful film.
Dieser Film hat das Potenzial, der größte Blockbuster des Jahres zu werden.

Common phrases with this word are 'ein echter Blockbuster sein' (to be a real blockbuster), 'zum Blockbuster werden' (to become a blockbuster), or 'als Blockbuster gelten' (to be considered a blockbuster).

Although the word can theoretically also be used for books, in practice it refers almost exclusively to cinema films. In everyday life, you will rarely hear it in connection with literature.
