BLACK PANTHER v.4 (Dragonlord's Review)

[Myrddin Wild]

Ryan Coogler's Black Panther is the first film in history to cross the $1 billion mark at the global box office. (other than the other 33 that have all ready done it.) ...and the 1st Disney title to do so, (aside from the other 16 Disney films that have also done it.)

Fixed ^

 

[CoolB]

Finally seeing this tonight.

 

[HenryFlower]

it was aight. might be the worst/flattest humor out of all the mcu films though

 

[One MMA Fan]

So it will end up with what 1.2 ~ 1.3 bill total depending on the overall China take.

It also had no competition in NA for weeks now.

 

[Nameless Ghoul]

Finally got around to seeing Black Panther. It isn't perfect but I thought it was a fun movie, and one of the better comic book movies. I liked that Killmonger was a Marvel villain that had some intensity to his character.

 

[AlphaBetaShark]

It now had an animated series.

Marvel's Black Panther Animated Series

 

[The Clinch]

Gave it a go tonight finally.

Found it quite enjoyable. Danai Gurira, Letitia Wright, Winston Duke, and Andy Serkis were probably my favorite actors in the movie. It's unfortunate Klaue was killed off.

Only real gripes are the cheesey sound bit leads into Killmonger scenes, how at certain times the story felt extremely rushed, and the camera shots during action scenes. **Oh, there were moments that the CGI was utter shit, which would be the worst thing about the movie.

Finally got to see Angela Bassett with long white hair... She would have been my casting for Storm 20 years ago.

 

[CoolB]

Really good movie but almost felt like it had nothing to do with the current Marvel universe. I'm disappointed Klaue died and was completely murked by a virtual nobody. He was such a fun character.

I was really surprised how packed the theater was. I figured after a few weeks it would be pretty dead but the place was jammed. Probably close to sold out.

BLACK PANTHER Beats A WRINKLE IN TIME with $41.1 Million on Its 4th Weekend

Ava DuVernay's A Wrinkle in Time was unable to defeat Black Panther after opening to a muted $33.3 million from 3,980 theaters in North America.

Both Black Panther and A Wrinkle in Time — the latter based on Madeleine L'Engle's beloved book and targeting young girls — have been heralded for their diversity, both in front of and behind the camera.

For Disney, the weekend was a double-edged sword, since it's home to both films. Wrinkle in Time, costing $103 million to make before marketing, is the first major miss for the studio in nearly two years. The movie, targeting young girls, was hampered by poor word of mouth following generally bad reviews and a B CinemaScore.

Conversely, Black Panther continued to dazzle, earning $41.1 million from 3,942 locations to score one of the best fourth weekends of all time. The movie, upping its domestic total to $562 million, is now the No. 2 superhero pic of all time behind Marvel's The Avengers.

Also over the weekend, Ryan Coogler's superhero film bounded past the $1 billion mark at the global box office after landing in its final foreign market, China, where it debuted to a stellar $66.5 million.

DuVernay is the first black woman to helm a $100 million movie, while Storm Reid plays the heroine at the heart of the story, 13-year-old Meg Murry, who must find her father and save the universe along the way. The star-packed cast of Wrinkle in Time also includes Oprah Winfrey, Levi Miller, Reese Witherspoon, Mindy Kaling, Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Chris Pine.

Three additional movies opened nationwide this weekend.

Aviron's The Strangers: Prey at Night, a sequel of sorts to The Strangers (2008), fared the best, placing No. 3 with $10 million-plus from 2,464 theaters. The Hurricane Heist, directed by Rob Cohen, placed No. 9 with an estimated $3 million from 2,402 locations. Byron Allen's Entertainment Studios is handling the movie. Amazon Studios and STXfilms' Gringo, a dark comedy starring David Oyelowo, Charlize Theron and Joel Edgerton, opened outside the top 10 with $2.6 million. Amazon fully financed the film and paid for marketing.

It was his origin story, we didnt need everyone in this film

Agreed. That's what my bro and I were saying last night too. It wasn't a complaint , just more of an observation.

@Higus @Medulla Omoplata @MikeMcMann

Diversity? And you chaps were thinking Wrinkle was just a kids movie.

That said, I'm chipper that Wrinkle lost and BP won, even in its 4th weekend. Still, there isn't much competition out there.

Agreed, I'm dreading that we are about to get brow beat to death with one liners and "setup/punchline" conversations in Infinity War.

 

[TrueBias]

Hah. I win.

 

[Medulla Omoplata]

Hah. I win.

 

[Midnighter]

I liked it, should have had more Killmonger.

Some female nudity would have been appreciated too.

Exactly. Some T&A can easily push a movie from good to great.

I would've settled for a Bassett sagger at the very least.
