Hollywood superstar Will Smith sees Black Panther as much more than a great movie. The veteran filmmaker has come forward to dish on the industry-changing impact of Marvel Studios’ latest release.
Big Willy went to Instagram this week to congratulate the entire cast and applaud director Ryan Coogler for helping shatter false Hollywood beliefs.
Last night, Marvel Studios released a must-read open letter from Ryan Coogler about the film’s success.
Yesterday, comedy heavyweight Chris Rock bigged up the new movie and revealed his interest in a much-needed sequel.
After just 96 hours, Black Panther turned into one of the biggest movie openings – ever.
Overall, Black Panther generated the fifth largest opening weekend of all-time (Friday-to-Sunday) behind Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($248M), Star Wars: The Last Jedi ($220M), Jurassic World ($208.8M), and The Avengers ($207.4M). That is amazing company. The much anticipated PG-13 super hero film was expected to be huge, but the results actually flew higher once movie fans had the chance to start coming out. The four-day average was a gargantuan $58,458 from 4,020 locations. (Rotten Tomatoes)
