Marvel's Black Panther (February 2018)

Didn't realize that Klaue was played by the same guy who portrayed Gollum in Lord of the Rings and Ceaser in Planet of the Apes:

Tradition vs. Innovation.

Also, peep the Red, Black & Green color schemes:

Characters, crew or stunt men?

Just came back from seeing the movie. More powerful than the imagery was the messaging. I think in many ways Wakanda is a place we all can envision.In fact for many of us A&T was our Wakanda. It embodied the largest Black institution we had ever seen which up until that time was for many of us the church we grew up in. A&T had a sprawling campus with thousands of Black kids like us, large buildings, and people that looked like our family in charge of every aspect of our young lives while we we away from home. When we hear recruits today talk about why they chose A&T, I think it is partly because of the Wakanda effect. Our vision of A&T is fueled by a desire to help create a space for our young people to learn and to thrive while seeing role models of success. We should all be re-energized to help build our university with our financial and sweat equity into the Wakanda of higher education in America and the world so that when we say "Aggie Pride", it has the same connotation as "Wakanda Forever" did in the movie.

Welcome to Wakanda!

'Black Panther' roars past $700 million worldwide in week two

"Black Panther" is still wearing the box office crown in its second weekend.

The Disney (DIS) and Marvel Studios film was the number one film in the U.S. for the second weekend in a row bringing in an estimated $108 million at the box office.

"Black Panther" becomes only the fourth film ever to cross $100 million in its second weekend, joining "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," "Jurassic World," and "The Avengers." It is the second highest second weekend for a film behind only "Force Awakens."

"Black Panther" has also crossed the $700 million mark globally in just two weekends of release and will cross $400 million domestically on Sunday, its 10th day of release. The film has yet to open in China or Japan.

After its second weekend domestically, the film, starring Chadwick Boseman and directed by Ryan Coogler, is already the fifth highest grossing Marvel Studios film and will likely pass "Captain America: Civil War" and "Iron Man 3" to take the number three spot in the coming days.

Overall, "Black Panther" showed strong staying power losing only 47% of its domestic audience from its record-breaking opening weekend. That's less of a drop than other films in Marvel's Cinematic Universe like "Captain America: Civil War" and "The Avengers: Age of Ultron," which saw its second weekend totals drop closer to 60%, according to comScore.

‘Black Panther’ The U.S.’s Highest Grossing Superhero Film Of All Time

In the U.S., “Black Panther” is officially the king of superhero films.

This weekend the Marvel film became the highest domestic-grossing superhero film of all time, not accounting for inflation, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Deadline lists the movie as taking in a whopping $630.9 million. That figure passes “The Avengers,” which brought in $623.4 million in 2012.

The Ryan Coogler-directed “Black Panther” should also become third highest-grossing superhero film globally, passing 2013′s “Iron Man 3” at $1.214 billion.

The first two Avengers films still hold a hefty lead in worldwide gross, with “The Avengers” netting $1.5 billion, and the followup, “Avengers: Age Of Ultron,” making $1.4 billion in 2015.

Unfortunately, “Black Panther” may not hold the domestic record as Marvel’s highest-grossing film for long because Marvel’s highly anticipated crossover “Avengers: Infinity Wars” comes out April 27. Presale tickets for that film are already selling at a higher rate than any superhero film ever.

Until then, Wakanda forever.
