Succeed with current blockbuster about the Queen (7)

I believe the answer is:

inherit

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'succeed' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'with current blockbuster about the queen' is the wordplay.
'with' is an insertion indicator.
'current' becomes 'I' (symbol for electric current).
'blockbuster' becomes 'in' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'about' indicates an anagram.
'queen' becomes 'r' (r is abbreviation regina. e.g. in ER ).
'the'+'r'='ther'
'ther' with letters rearranged gives '[ther]'.
'in'+'[ther]'='in[ther]'
'i' put inside 'inhert' is 'INHERIT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for inherit that I've seen before include "Be left with (a situation)" , "Acquire from ancestors" , "Receive by succession or via a will" , "Receive from a predecessor" , "Receive under terms of will" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
