Loved the movie but how

Crazy part is...I doubt Boseman got paid more than a mil for this. He might get a little more on the backend but the upfront salary is usually shyt. The actors usually get fukked when dealing with marvel unless you are Scarlett or RDJ

Its the sucess of this that'll enable him to have some bargaining power at the table not before. I mean what can he actually say no one saw thurgood marshall, gods of egypt was an epic flop and critical acclaim for black biopics that didnt crush buildings at the BO isnt exactly a bargaining chip

Mackie a c00n irl...that would make a role like that even better. What actor can play Rage that can call out c00ns, though?

I have my doubts about it cracking the 200 mill mark but I hope I'm wrong

You cant sell a movie with a black cast they said

If sports were based on casting and not skill or talent, hollywood would have Jordan, Lebron, Usain, and Serena played by the Twilight cast, talking about you can't sell sporting events with black players

They could only hide behind this false narrative with big budget films/comics because everything is fictitious. If Captain America is Larry Bird, they never have to acknowledge the existence of a Magic or Jordan that could whoop him and be more embraced.

Never thought it was going to flop but I'm happy it's doing better than original projections.

Excellent point.

Just like they did with Elvis Presley.

He was the "acceptable" white face of Rock & Roll.

Little Richard, Fats Domino, Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, etc were waaaay better.

'Black Panther' Becomes Highest-Grossing Film Ever at 33 AMC Theaters Locations

The national theater chain reports that the film is now the top-grossing film of all time at 33 of the chain’s theaters. That means that Black Panther took in more money in early Thursday screenings and on Friday alone than other films have made in an entire weekend at those 33 theaters.

AMC did not name specific theaters or put a dollar amount to that claim, but the company did not that AMC Southlake 24 in Atlanta had a record 83 showings of the film on Friday.

Black Panther is opening 4,020 location in North America and is expected to earn upward of $210 million over the four-day weekend. The film was at first project for an opening weekend gross of $100-120 million, but the film's record-setting $25.2 million made on Thursday led to increased projections. After coming in with a Friday total of $76 million, those projections have rose once again.

Black Panther's $76 million Friday is the eighth-highest opening day in box office history. It is also the third largest opening day ever for a Marvel Studios film.

Black Panther is on pace to break the $152 million Presidents Day record set by Deadpool in 2016.

Black Panther has also done well in overseas markets, earning $80 million since screenings began on Tuesday in the United Kingdom, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and other major markets.

Black Panther was made with a $200 million budget and is the first Marvel movie since The Avengers to receive an A+ CinemaScore.

Black Panther currently has an 85.43 ComicBook.com Composite Score, which is the sixth-highest ComicBook.com Composite Score for a comic book movie. Black Panther also has a 4.41 out of 5 ComicBook.com User Rating, making it the second highest rated comic book movie ever among ComicBook.com Users.
