I am so excited for the Black Panther movie release in now out in theatres across the country! On the day pre-ticket sales were announced – my husband bought our tickets.
According to Fandango, the movie has pre-sold more tickets than any other superhero film ever made. That in itself is an amazing feat.
Mothers Don’t Always Know Best
Although this is a film for everyone, black people worldwide are celebrating the making of this movie and are eagerly anticipating its release. Black Panther is the first big-budget superhero film to feature a black filmmaker, black heroes, black villains, a black executive producer, and an overwhelmingly black supporting cast and crew.
I am looking forward to a day when we don’t have to say “the first” minority to do “X.” But, until that day, I will bask in the glory of the firsts that come full circle.

Plot:
Marvel Studios’ “Black Panther” follows T’Challa who, after the death of his father, the King of Wakanda, returns home to the isolated, technologically advanced African nation to succeed to the throne and take his rightful place as king. But when a powerful old enemy reappears, T’Challa’s mettle as king—and Black Panther—is tested when he is drawn into a formidable conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk. Faced with treachery and danger, the young king must rally his allies and release the full power of Black Panther to defeat his foes and secure the safety of his people and their way of life.

Whoa I had no idea how popular this movie was!!
It just reached one billion in sales!
My son went with his father and enjoyed himself. I have heard and am proud that it’s doing so well but also look forward to it just being another great movie without being declared the best black movie.
It just reached one billion in sales and has above 90% in positive reviews!
Oh Black Panther, One of my favorite movies. Good piece of art by Ryan Coogler
I completely agree!
We meant to go last weekend but adopted a cat on a whim…then we didn’t want to leave him alone during the adjusting to a new place period. This weekend we were going to go since we missed it then, but now we have other plans. Geez. I hope they keep it on in theaters for awhile.
I hope you are enjoying your new cat! This movie will be in theatres for a time to come due to its popularity.
I can’t wait to see this movie:) I love all movies about superheroes and I’m really curious if this one will be as same good as others
I think it is better than all other Marvel films!
Coming from Africa I can tell you that the hype is crazy here too!!! Cannot wait to see this with my kids!!!
I can only imagine! Wakanda forever! LOL!
I’m not one to watch superhero movies but your excitement for this is contagious! I may have to ask my hubs to go prescreen it for me with our boys.
Just saw it over the weekend!
I LOVED IT! My favorite super hero movie to date
I haven’t seen it yet, but I am SO pumped for this movie!
It is amazing!
My husband is SO excited to see this movie! We are going this weekend hopefully! Not surprised by these statistics! We’ve heard it’s hreat!
I soo want to see this movie! I have heard wonderful things about it — adding this to my weekend to-do list!
I am not one to see movies in theaters, but I may have to make an exception for this one. The previews look too good to wait.
You have to see it! I am definitely buying this one!
Marvel has never failed to surprise and delight me. I wish they release this movie soon in India 😀
I hope you get to see it soon! Hello from Atlanta, GA USA!
I still haven’t seen this and totally want to! Maybe today if I get all my horse chores done in a timely manner. Sounds like a plan to me.
I hope you were able to see it!
We watched this movie last night. I really enjoyed the story and the acting.
I am glad you enjoyed it!
This film just debuted last week in Philippine theaters, I have only seen the trailer and not the movie yet. 😉 The trailer is already intriguing and I don’t want to be missing out seeing this great story.
I hope you were able to see it!
I am looking forward to this movie! It seems really cool! totally getting my tickets!
I hope you enjoyed it!
I am so excited to see this film!!
I hope you enjoy it!
What a gorgeous talented cast and crew! I agree I hope one day we do not have to say “the first” and seeing a production like this is not such a huge deal because it is the norm! I would also love to see more mixed race casts and crews. I totally get why the black community is so excited. As a white woman who LOVES all things Marvel, and not just the movies but ALL things, I have to say there have been MANY black superheroes and it is long past due time we see more of them in the mainstream!
I completely agree! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! It just hit the one billion sales mark!
I am looking forward to the day when we no longer have to say first as well. Can’t wait to see this film.
I hope you enjoy it!
I am so so excited for that movie! I have seen the trailer so many time and I really can’t wait! Black Panther is killing it at the moment, which is making it even more exciting!
Yes! It just hit the one billion sales mark!
There are very few movies I see in theaters these days, but I might end up seeing this one!
I hope that you do and that you enjoy it as much as I do!
I am so excited to see this movie! It looks so amazing! The cast and production is just so amazing!
It really is spectacular! Just hit the one billion sales mark!
Oh wow well done to Black Panther for this! Though I am not surprised I am so excited to see it it looks like they have worked so hard on it.
I hope you are able to see it!
