Black Panther’s Four-Day Total: $427 Million Worldwide and a Slew of Shattered Records
The superhero film’s domestic haul was a jaw-dropping $242 million, miles ahead of original tracking numbers.

Early numbers indicated that Black Panther would make between $100 million and $120 million in its opening weekend. As hype and wild pre-sale ticket numbers grew, though, that humble number got nudged higher and higher—all the way to $170 million a few days before the film finally hit theaters. Now, after the complete four-day weekend, the real numbers are here, and they’re even more astronomical than prognosticators hoped: Black Panther has made about $242 million domestically and $427 million worldwide, shattering box-office records.
The Vibranium-powered movie had the fifth-highest opening for a film ever, a record it hit within its first three days by notching a smooth $201.8 million. It’s the third-highest gross in history for a four-day opening weekend, according to Box Office Mojo. It’s also the highest opening of all time for a film in February, as well as a film released over President’s Day weekend, handily crushing the $152 million record previously set by Deadpool. Black Panther has the second-highest haul for a Sunday, according to Variety, pulling in a cool $60 million, and it’s also etched its way into Marvel history by earning $25.2 million in Thursday night previews, making it the second-highest preview gross in the studio’s history; the film was narrowly beat out by Avengers: Age of Ultron, which earned $27.6 million. Black Panther has the second-highest three-day domestic opening haul for a Marvel film overall, edged out by the first Avengers film, which made $207.4 million.
As some on Twitter have pointed out, Marvel’s latest has also easily outpaced one of DC’s most recent releases. In just four days, Black Panther earned more than Justice League did during its entire domestic run, which was about $228.6 million.
Alas, Justice League won’t be the only superhero movie to get walloped by the fine folks of Wakanda. Black Panther has at least a few more weeks to continue its uncontested box-office reign—there’s virtually no blockbuster competition in February. And with word of mouth and reviews being as strong as they are, T’Challa and the gang should expect to see the numbers continue to soar as the weeks go by.

Icon and Static movies can definitely give them some momentum. We will support that just like we did Black Panther, but they gotta give us a good cast and a black director with a vision.
‘Black Panther’ Actress Letitia Wright Hopes Shuri Inspires More Girls To Pursue STEM
https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entr...ore-girls-in-stem_us_5a8ba183e4b09fc01e02b764
Shuri is a gift.
The younger sister to T’Challa (aka the Black Panther) is an Afrofuturistic engineer who can build technologically advanced societies and fully heal spinal bullet wounds in less than 24 hours. She’s the most intelligent person in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and leads Wakanda, the most advanced society in the universe. She also happens to be a 16-year-old unapologetically black princess who isn’t afraid to tell a white man, “Don’t scare me like that colonizer.”
Shuri is the s**t.
Letitia Wright, who plays everyone’s new favorite Disney princess in her breakout “Black Panther” role, told HuffPost how much it meant to both her and the film’s audiences for director Ryan Coogler and writer Joe Robert Cole to write Shuri as a multidimensional character.
“[Shuri] shows that when you have people coming together to just take time to make characters well-rounded, well-thought-out, not one way, amazing things like that happen,” the Guyanese actress told HuffPost. “Having a character arc and journey is refreshing, so it’s good writing ... Now there’s a breakthrough of [audiences] seeing people [they] relate to and that’s refreshing.”
Shuri lit up the screen with her carefree demeanor and unfiltered words each time she graced a scene. Her youthfulness was refreshing, yet her wisdom and courage shine through in the film as she guides Martin Freeman’s Everett Ross through an aerial battle while physically taking on another fight of her own.
Wright said even she was surprised at the boldness of blackness and the motherland shown on-screen. But from comic book pages to the MCU, the marriage of positive images of Africans with technology in “Black Panther” is important for fans to see, she said.
“Even reflecting on it now, I can see little glimpses of when they go down to the Great Mound and go down to Shuri’s lab how beautiful that is. Just seeing that there’s young kids in Shuri’s lab, teenagers and people coming together to create technology. That’s beautiful,” she said. “All together, it means a lot to see the continent in that way and see the motherland in that way ’cause it’s such a beautiful place.”
The actress also said she hopes young girls will unlock their potential when watching Shuri, especially when it comes to STEM.
“I hope it inspires them and I hope it does [so] positively. I hope it sparks the next person,” Wright told HuffPost.
This isn’t the last fans will see of Shuri. The princess of Wakanda will also have “a cool little part” in “Avengers: Infinity War,” premiering in May. And, fingers crossed, maybe fans will get to see Shuri as the Black Panther one day.
Fam...just let them go ahead and make Shuri more like the comics bc she was a down right badass warrior as well.
You ever check to see what other counties box offices look like and what they are watching?

Thats dope
I can tell the chick in 2nd video review is a air headed horse hair wearing caked on make-up wearing bed wench. I bet if it was about Tarzan about a mighty Y-T king of the jungle movie saving the natives she would have loved it. You can tell the difference in consciousness between the two women. The first sister was natural and woke.

These Wypipo are not actually complaining... that there's no gay characters.
They are really complaining.... that there are no 'weak black males'.
If they gave you a shot, they would be doing more than what was said. That was my point. Just throwing out some black characters aint gonna do shit for them if they dont know what to do with them. I repeat....they just put hundreds of millions of dollars into a movie with Supes, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Aquaman and Cyborg....and fell completely flat. These are characters that damn near everybody knows....3 of them.....seriously, everybody knows...and they couldnt make a movie better than the Arrowverse crossover event. You really think them just throwing Icon on screen is ALL they need to do?
no. that was also my point about giving me a shot to do it.
their formula clearly ain't working. clearly. the entire plan was trash. from killing him in batman v superman to even having a batman v superman
superman was supposed to have 2 movies
then you introduce a new batman
then you can POSSIBLY have it. but then actually you can just go to wonderwoman as well then possible have this justice league shit they skipped steps
name recognition is a thing but not the most important thing. the story is most important.

Yep. The Cac ego is a fragile thing. They must be superior at the most and "equal" at the least to the person of color on screen, never beneath.
PH hit the nail right on the head.
DC's biggest obstacle is....... the Studio Executives at Warner Brothers.
They are waaaayyyyy too invested (and too 'hands-on') in the whole 'creative process'.
Especially... 'in the Editing room'.
Whenever they get back to removing 'Final Cut' from the Top WB Studio Executives... the talented filmmakers might 'release' great stories.
When the Studio doesn't have Final-Cut Privileges on a 'big-budget' movie...
- Peter Jackson makes (3) Lord of the Rings movies that are 3 hrs + 45 min. long & each one makes almost $1 Billion in the USA alone.
- Or Chris Nolan gives you a Dark Knight movie... with a villain performance 'for the ages'... from Heath Ledger.
- Or Martin Scorcese drags you thru the dirty underbelly of a crime drama, and leaves you with The Departed.
- Or James Cameron steers the Avatar of your imagination to distant lands in Outer Space.
Warner Bros. Eyes Slimmed-Down Movie Budgets Under Toby Emmerich
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/n...own-movie-budgets-under-toby-emmerich-1015390
Toby Emmerich and CEO Kevin Tsujihara.
They run Warner Brothers.
Toby Emmerich. He was the President of the Warner Brothers Film Studio. (I think he just got another promotion, in Jan 2018
)Toby previously ran New Line Cinema for about a decade... and he's worked there (in different roles) for at least the past 20 years.
As the THR article above (from June 2017) says....
"He (Emmerich) believes the WB Studio can hold on to control of 'final cut'... and still hire A-list filmmakers."
Well,' technically' this is true.
WB Studios CAN retain 'final cut'... however the real problem is.... the DC superhero movie they actually 'put in movie theaters'... is usually NOT the 'same vision' of the A-List Director that they hired, in the first place. That's the whole problem.
Btw, one glance at Emmerich's filmography and you will notice a 'common thread'.
Hint: He has ZERO 'tentpole' / blockbuster-level movies under his belt.... except for 'The Hobbit'.
As Executive Producer of the Hobbit... Toby NEVER had 'final-cut privileges' on a film Directed by Peter Jackson.
So he could never 'overrule' Jackson.... and chop his movie up in the Editing Room, at the last minute.... against Jackson's wishes. Warner Bros. Reportedly Wants to Avoid Working With ‘Auteur Directors Who Want Final Cut’
http://www.slashfilm.com/warner-bro...ing-with-auteur-directors-who-want-final-cut/
This reporter concludes her article with...
"An executive with ties to Warner told THR that he expects some “key elements ” of New Line culture to be incorporated into Warner Bros. under Emmerich, namely:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Budgets are likely to be slimmed down and final-cut directors may be avoided. He believes the studio can hold on to control of final cut and still hire A-list filmmakers.” (^^this part comes directly from the THR article, posted above)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let me say this first: I think this is a terrible idea.
I know that it seems like a natural part of the shift toward franchises, which we have seen take off since Marvel Studios and Disney launched the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2008, introducing a whole new strategy for easy money for studios: the cinematic universe. Warner Bros. contributed its fair share to this back when it first started the Harry Potterseries in 2001 and Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy in 2005. But those movies still gave a fair share of creative control to the directors — Nolan in particular took such a revolutionary approach on the superhero genre that Warner Bros. and Zack Snyder have been trying to replicate it ever since."
I don't think we FULLY appreciate what this Black man, this son this father this husband represents.
salute Big Will
I m so glad that they didn t add any gay shit to this movie
there is no gay in Africa "Robert Mugabe"These Wypipo are not actually complaining... that there's no gay characters.
They are really complaining.... that there are no 'weak black males'.
They are really complaining.... that there are no 'weak black males'.
yep...not a single lightskin person was in wakanda lol
It's BLACK Panther not Pink panther mufucka.
3 fuckin percent of the population and they got mufuckas thinkin they're supposed to be "included" because of their sexual preference. Fuck outta here.
They were suppose to have a gay lesbian scene. but the black director cut that shit out in the Final Cut. Which is what i like, He is a OG real ****** from Oakland California,
That is why is good to have a black director telling your story, If it was a CACs you know black panther would be wack, And also alot of black people especially the (church crowd) are still pretty conservative so they would be turned off by it especially when your bringing your kids.

Also the thing about Gay People is that they want gay shit when it has nothing to do with the storyline.
