Disney's Black Panther claimed the top spot of the North American box office this weekend and is set for a super-heroic $218 million debut over the four-day Presidents Day holiday.

The action-packed film directed by Ryan Coogler also received the honor of the fifth largest three-day domestic opening in history, according to Box Office Mojo.

Big time! Black Panther claimed the top spot of the North American box office this weekend and is set for a super-heroic $218 million debut over the four-day President's Day holiday

Drawing in an estimated $192 million for the three-day weekend, the Chadwick Boseman-led film is expected to earn roughly $218 for a four-day performance - the highest debut for a February film.

Black Panther flew past previous record-holder Deadpool's 2016 mark of $152 million for a Presidents Day weekend opening.
The film is reported to gross $169 million from the international market, estimating a global debut of $361 million through Sunday.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Jurassic World and Marvel's The Avengers rank just slightly higher than Black Panther for all-time opening weekends at the box office.

Boseman portrays the newly-appointed ruler of the technologically savvy Wakanda, King T'Challa.

T'Challa's conflict with Michael B. Jordan's character Erik Killmonger is highlighted throughout the film, with incredible roles by Letitia Wright, Lupita Nyong'o, Angela Bassett, Danai Gurira and Daniel Kaluuya, to name very few of the star-studded cast.

If the Black Panther movie told the truth, the superhero would go after the vaccine industry that targets BLACKS for chemical depopulation

https://www.naturalnews.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/91/2018/02/Marvel-Black-Panther.jpg

The release of Black Panther, the latest comic book feature by Marvel Studios (distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures) has many race-baiters gushing at the thought of the film’s nearly all-black cast supporting a black superhero character – with almost no white people in sight! But if the film was really about giving black people even more of an upper hand in American society, it would discuss actual issues that affect black people, such as the vaccine industry targeting of black people for chemical poisoning and elimination.

WHO is in the process of developing even more potent anti-fertility vaccines using recombinant DNA, the paper admits. One of the long-range goals of WHO, the paper adds, is to reduce population growth in “less developed countries,” many of which are located in Africa, meaning the targets are most often poor black people.

The creators of Black Panther fail to mention any of this in their film, however. Instead of using this unique opportunity with a large black viewing audience to tell the truth about “humanitarian” organizations like WHO and Planned Parenthood, these social agitators are stoking the flames of anti-white angst among black people, some of whom have been deceived into thinking that white people are their enemies – when in fact their real enemies, who generally aren’t named for fear of backlash, hide behind the curtain.

WHITE LUNACY on parade as woman refuses to see “Black Panther” movie for fear of “sucking the Black joy out of the theater”… HUH?

In yet another incident that proves beyond any reasonable doubt that the political Left in America is becoming more insane by the day, a white woman recently sent out what The DailyWire’s Ben Shapiro rightly deemed “the single stupidest tweet in human history” regarding the just-released movie, “Black Panther.”

“On Monday, senior editor and ‘planetary evangelist’ for The Planetary Society Emily Lakdawall got herself into a Twitter mess over her suggestion that she skip the opening weekend of” the movie, Shapiro wrote.

Lakdawalla tweeted: “So I carefully did not buy #BlackPanther tickets for opening weekend because I did not want to be the white person sucking Black joy out of the theater. What’s the appropriate date for me to buy tickets? Is next weekend ok?”

Just. Wow. Where to start?

First of all, I agree with Shapiro in that Lakdawalla’s assumption that blacks even care whether she goes to the movie or not is pretty, well, arrogant.

But beyond that, I take offense with her assumption that there exists some goofy ‘etiquette’ for black-white interactions when it comes to the viewing of a film in which black stars dominate. I mean, did she take the same cultural precautions when it came to figuring out when it is ‘appropriate’ to see other black-dominated films?

And frankly, I would think that in an era when movie-going, in general, is way down — in no small part, to my mind, due to the crazy Left-wing politics of Hollywood — Black Panther’s producers would want everyone and their brother/sister to go see it regardless of their ethnicity.

Shapiro makes another good point as well, as regards to Lakdawalla’s self-segregation: Shouldn’t whites be encouraged to flock to the movie so “they can be challenged and changed?”

Liberals like Lakdawalla constantly harp about how “diversity” is a strength for our country…but is it? Or it is just a concept the Democratic Party likes to use — couched in identity politics — to gin up support?

Because the more “diversity” I see in practice as I age, the less unity I see; diversity in and of itself is divisive, right? To be “diverse,” our society must contain a mix of ethnicities, cultural backgrounds, religious beliefs, and social mores, norms, and values — right? All of which serve not to unite us but to divide us if we’re not expecting our “diverse” population to coalesce around one flag, one anthem, one language, one history, one culture.

The result of our non-unifying “diversity?” We ask people who don’t have the same skin color as us if it’s okay to go see their movies.

I mean, if it’s gotten to the point where white people have to bow out of black-dominated social events out of fear that we’re somehow ‘encroaching’ on their ‘joy,’ we’re not truly ‘all in this together’ anymore, are we?

Which, of course, only coarsens our political discourse and divides us further.

Blade, Equalizer, the Bad Boys series, Men in Black, Independence day etc etc etc there were soooo many black heroes, were noone gave a damn about and enjoyed the movie, because noone was actively presenting these movies as some BLM stuff but as smiply great movies.

the movie was 10 out of 10... 5 out of 5 stars 2 thumbs for me... ''well written story line'' that was the selling point... blank panther is not a cool as spawn.. but the story was better than avengers civil war

all that things you hear in the media are only meant for Buzzfeed promotion of the movie..

[Kamal900]

We wuz kangz n shieet. I watched it myself, and it's not really anything new or different from other super hero movies besides pushing Afrocentric nonsense on it's audience that Blacks would have been the most culturally sophisticated people in the world had YT not invaded and colonized most of Africa.

[Insuperable]

Good movie. But plot's racial thing was kind of retarded.

[Linebacker]

Of course it will,it will probably win movie of the year later too.

Its expected,because its all a political game.Its not that I am hating,its good that black people will have a positive movie about them,but the overpoliticizing and fake praise kind of reminds me of handicapped kids and how everyone showers them with praise for the smallest thing they do right just because they have a disability.

Americans/Europeans/Africans/Latinos will watch anything Hollywood creates. Unless the movie does not have many marketings. People in this forum listen to black music/singers and still saying they are sub Humans.

Is the Movie ‘Black Panther’ Right-Wing?

No, but when the king of wealthy, isolationist African Wakanda (http://takimag.com/article/wakanda_blockbuster_is_this_steve_sailer/print#axzz57gzJkwrH) is urged to open the borders to poor black countries, he replies: “If we let in refugees, they will bring their problems with them and then Wakanda will be like anyplace else.”

Uh Oh: ‘Black Panther,’ hailed for all-black diversity

Has no gays.

Marvel Studios‘ “Black Panther” is being hailed as the most diverse superhero movie in Hollywood history, but it’s not diverse enough for some progressives who want to know: Where are all the gay characters?

The latest comic-book-to-film adaptation checked off a number of identity boxes with its almost exclusively black cast and cohort of strong female characters. But filmmakers ditched a lesbian romance subplot from the original comic books, prompting an outcry from the LGBT community.

did you enjoy it?? it's just super cartoon movie entertainment... it shouldn't be politicalize in real life (just media buzz). soon we will have ''new planet of the apes movie''.. where talking apes created cities on top of human graves.. (dinosaurs, robots, zombies ruling the earth) etc. etc..




Good movie. But plot's racial thing was kind of retarded.

it made a great villain though... + it didn't go deep into racial issues, it didn't offend the audience.

The best black superhero remains Will Smith.

What's interesting is how much drama was made around this film to the point you wouldn't even give it mediocre reviews and people felt bullied by it. It's just a film man. ;)

Why you got so triggered? The fact that not a single country in Africa is successful tells us quite well that it wasn't anyone's fault for their incompetency and etc. Yeah? We Arabs at least have an ancient past, and we had an empire that was the 6th largest in history. Stop trying to be Black, wigger. I dare you to go to some city or neighborhood that is mainly inhabited by Blacks and call them out by saying "Hey! What's up niggahs!?" and I promise you that you won't live and tell the tale about it. The "kingdoms" and "empires" that Blacks had weren't even in the same level as other civilization, and these kingdoms were mostly Islamic that tried to copy the Arabs and Berbers.

Will Smith is too charming and likable to play a serious hero character. I mean, for me, he's a comedic type of actor like Jim Carrey and etc.

https://img.memecdn.com/wiggers_o_1808163.jpgThey were tons of sucessful west africa kingdoms. The thing is other african kingdoms eventually rose to power and conquered them. In fact west africa is where most african kingdoms were from. If africans copied islam, so what? Look at the middle east today. Is that a result of islam? Or will you make some excuses for that?

Africans has civilisations since ancient Egyptian times. They weren't isolated families living in jungles as some want to portray. That only came after African civilisation broke down because of the Arabs.

[Colonel Frank Grimes]

Does Blade count?

Blade was bad ass cuz he used actual weapons. All this super hero shit is faggy. I don't understand the attraction super heroes have with so many people (except Wolverine) with their lame powers. I didn't like it when I was 10 and I don't like it now.

Brazil is becoming Blacker and richer by the day. It's inevitable it will be like Wakanda.

In the census only 15 million Brazilians are self declared black. But is because they use the word " preto" in the census. Most Black Brazilians light skinned are declared negro but not preto, so they often prefers to mark "pardo'. Preto means someone too dark. My sister dont consider herself preta, she knows shes negra.

No. Apart for some civlizations and kingdoms existing in east Africa, there wasn't anything on the same level as Greece or Egypt anywhere in sub-saharan Africa. In fact, many of the kingdoms rose up after the Arabs and the Berbers interacted with them in the middle ages, not before.

In my world...Performance artists will be relegated to their natural lowly status, along with court-jesters, prostitutes and other 'service providers'. It is not my world where I worship celebrities...you guys are just mad that one set in particular is 'performing' with a narrative pushed in your faces. When the sex was pushed and the drugs and the profanity, you were silent...but when this was pushed, you are outraged.

You sure do write a lot for someone who is bored and not raging.

I personally don't care. If I was Black, I'd be insulted by the film or more so by people's dreamy eye reaction to it. Pick up a book, for fuck's sake. Native Son is a great novel by a Black author. Why have an orgasm over a super hero film? Super hero films are for children. They're not for adults unless the adult is retarded.

Super hero films are faggy.

Saw the movie today because of the hype. It was actually a lot better than I expected. There were a lot of themes about Black empowerment and nationalism, but I was impressed that in the end, they ended on a positive note.

I don't understand the uproar from White conservatives about the film. Are they angry that it depicts a technologically advanced African nation when currently that isn't a reality? If anything, I thought that was a great example for Black kids to aspire to rather than the ghetto rap garbage they see every day.

Are they angry because it touches on anger about oppression? Well, that's all reality. It's all a part of the dark history of African Americans. What exactly about it is untrue? I mean, anybody who has a superficial understanding of Afram history shouldn't be surprised at the emotions discussed in the movie.

Overall though, I thought the movie was actually a shining example of America's commitment to freedom of speech and ideas. In how many countries can a historically oppressed minority voice their social criticism so loudly and have it expressed on a huge megaphone through a blockbuster movie? Not many. I think it reflects well on the United States.

Actually watching the movie and being reminded of the butthurt from all the White nationalists just really pissed me off. What a bunch of fragile fucking snowflakes. For real.

They need to play Sid Meier's Civilization games and send Zulus to space. :D

Personally I cannot judge the film for I haven't watched it, but it's very hyped and people are politicising what ultimately is just a film based on a comic. Not being much of a fan of the superhero/comics genre, I wasn't particularly interested. However, I'll probably give in to the hype in the end and watch what it's about. Why the hell not? :)

Still the way people told people that they're racist if they dared giving it a bad review, it's what contributed to the current attitude. It's not just white right wingers who are being ridiculous here.

IDK any white conservatives mad about the film, they probably went to see it. Let us not forget that oppression, slavery is and has been global.
There are slaves in Libya, India lots of places. Black Africans today traffic young girls to Europe and other place for prostitution.

Sargon made a 45 minute video on it, but that's the way he is. I can enjoy some Sargon videos, but the guy is way too sarcastic far too often it's too annoying to me. His videos are so long it amazes me he has a side channel atop of his main.

Yeah obviously. But there is also a very specific African American experience, and Black Panther is a product of American culture. So I think bringing up slavery in every other corner of the world is just besides the point.

It was a good movie overall and pretty thought provoking. I liked one part where the woman warrior was complaining about wearing a wig, saying it was disgraceful, I think it was meaningful because Black women are just socially conditioned to hide their natural hair or wear wigs or extensions to fit in.

No...Im above hollywood. I wasnt even aware of this.

He, however...is. As are you.

In the end, whether Godfather, Black Panther, or Jaws...you are fretting over performance artists who audition to be the best actor (ie 'liar') for a role. In my world...Performance artists will be relegated to their natural lowly status, along with court-jesters, prostitutes and other 'service providers'. It is not my world where I worship celebrities...you guys are just mad that one set in particular is 'performing' with a narrative pushed in your faces. When the sex was pushed and the drugs and the profanity, you were silent...but when this was pushed, you are outraged.

Black Panther's leap through the record books continue.

Black Panther roars into box office history (again) as it becomes the ninth highest-grossing film in North America with a domestic total of $506.4 million, Variety reported.

It's likely to soon overcome the force to garner eighth place, where the Disney-Lucasfilm 2016 film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story sits with $532 million in domestic totals.

The motion picture is doing just fine on an international level - it's already among the top 50 of all-time, in 47th place - with $909 million as of Monday, having zoomed past movies including Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire ($896.9 million), Spider-Man 3 ($890.9 million) and Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs ($886.7 million).

Upon the movie's banner $240 million opening last month, Coogler took to social media to show his gratitude over the incredible turnout.

'Deep down we all hoped that people would come to see a film about a fictional country on the continent of Africa, made up of a cast of people of African descent,' he said. 'Never in a million years did we imagine that you all would come out this strong. It still humbles me to think that people care enough to spend their money and time watching our film.

'But to see people of all backgrounds wearing clothing that celebrates their heritage, taking pictures next to our posters with their friends and family, and sometimes dancing in the lobbies of theaters - often moved me and my wife to tears.'

I've heard it is a nice movie also. What makes me not want to watch it , is not the movie per se, but the whole attitude of black people about the movies.
There were tons of messages that were from Black people saying that whites shouldn't go to the premiere, so only them can watch it.
There were several references about blockage to metacritic or rotten tomatoes ratings,so the film won't have low reviews.
Lastly, I'd love to watch a movie because it is worth watching for what it is, not for advocating about blacks, or because it only has blacks,etc etc.

I agree with you on almost everything you said except anger about opression. All those black people hyped about science fiction movie are as dumb as white nationalists angry for depicting advanced african state. But don't tell me you didn't find quite pathethic main villain wanting to liberate black people all over the world. You go to watch Marvel cinematic movie and there you see this racial plot twist. The movie was written by a black man. I have a feeling if you give a black man freedom of writing a movie it will almost always turn into some black shit this black shit that. Just because it is understandable does not make it any less annoying.

Of course it will. Blacks in America are absolutely obsessed with race and have a huge victim complex. Everything is racial to them.

Well, unfortunately a lot of Aframs, especially the ones from the ghetto, have poisonous mindsets because they have a broken culture. I'm pretty sure there weren't any Africans with similar attitudes.

Yeah, it is sometimes annoying. Although I do find race related movies interesting as a social commentary. But they are this way because their historical experiences was primarily defined by their race, so to this day, even though they no longer face the discrimination they once did, there is this obsessive self awareness about their race.

If you think about it, Aframs are one of the few cultures that were formed solely centered around their physical appearance, because culturally, they were disconnected from their source a long time ago.

Well, you can't really compare China to African Americans. One is a diaspora group whose identity revolves around their physical features. While China is a huge, ancient civilization state with the largest single ethnic identity (Han) in the world. Chinese culture is very deep and resilient.

It's New World Order Satanic propaganda, aimed at spiritually degrading the black American.. disguised as "African culture". :rolleyes:

“A torture for the eyes”: Chinese moviegoers think Black Panther is just too black
Echo Huang
March 12, 2018

Marvel’s first black superhero film Black Panther made a strong debut in China, taking in more than $63 million this weekend and helping it cross the billion-dollar mark globally. And while the film filled seats in China, it didn’t exactly bring in rave reviews from Chinese audiences—in fact, online reviews hint at subtle racism and discomfort with the all-black cast.

Set in Wakanda, a fictional country in East Africa that’s hidden from the outside world, the movie portrayed a romanticized version of Africa that had never been touched by the white man. Led by a cast of black actors and actresses, the film presented how the king of the country, T’Challa, used his intelligence, ancestral knowledge, and access to advance technologies to become the superhero Black Panther.

But the movie—which comes as a timely portrayal and celebration of blackness half a century after Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination—is hardly resonating with Chinese audiences. On Douban, China’s IMDb-esque platform, the film holds a 6.8 rating out of 10 (link in Chinese)—almost half of science-fiction and action movies rated by Douban users have a better score. Outside of China, Black Panther is on track to become the highest-rated superhero movie, according to Rotten Tomatoes; 97% of reviews from critics have been positive.

Some moviegoers disliked Black Pantherbecause they felt Marvel was trying too hard to be politically correct (link in Chinese). While many reviewers on Douban stopped short of leaving overtly racist comments about the film, many discussed their discomfort of being surrounded by so much blackness.

“Maybe the Chinese are still not used to a film full of black people,” wrote one reviewer on Douban (link in Chinese). The commenter said he had to pinch himself more than 10 times to stay awake during the movie because “Black Panther is black, all the major characters are black, a lot of scenes are black, the car-chasing scene is black—the blackness has really made me drowsy.”

Another reviewer who came into the theater late made a similar observation: “When I entered the theater, a bunch of black people was fighting in the night… I’ve never been in a theater so dark that I couldn’t find my seat.”

Someone else said the experience was worse in 3D (link in Chinese): “The film is filled with black actors and actresses. Also, because the film’s colors are a bit dark, it’s nearly a torture for the eyes to watch the film’s 3D version in the theater.”

It’s yet another reminder of China’s limited exposure to race. Last month, in the annual Lunar New Year TV gala by China’s state broadcaster CCTV, producers had a Chinese actress in blackface and cast a black actor to play a monkey. In October, a Chinese museum hosted an exhibition titled “This is Africa” that juxtaposed images of black people to animals, including monkeys and cheetahs.

China has made a significant and influential foray into Africa over the past couple of decades with huge presence from major Chinese government-backed enterprises and thousands of private Chinese entrepreneurs and workers moving to various countries to seek their fortune. The interaction has for the most part been amicable and usually seen as mutually beneficial but there have also been notable moments of cultural and racial tension in some countries.

Still, Black Panther could be a start for Chinese people to learn about the black culture, argues writer Niesha Davis on Shanghai-based digital publication Sixth Tone. “Exposure to pop culture that encompasses diverse representations of black people can exert a powerful influence on how individuals conceive of them,” Davis wrote.

Good points the OP brings.

It seems even just ten years ago, race relations were WAY less tense, better than they are now.

[Carlito's Way]

Best movie of the year

[CordedWhelp]

I saw it when it was still in theaters. It was alright.

I can say, it was a little better than what I was expecting. I really tried to block out of my mind the politics surrounding this movie, and I was succesfully able to do so because it was good fun, really. One of the better superhero movies in a while. The middle dragged and felt pretty unfocused, but the bit of world-building (which I frankly think they could have expounded on a little more) involved helped that, as well as the final act or so.
