BP is going to be the highest grossing superhero film domestically, and the highest grossing solo movie worldwide.
Tomorrow it overtakes every single DC film worldwide.

I think we're all forgetting that if you add up the revenue from the first five DCEU movies versus the first five MCU movies you'll find that DC made more, thus confirming that the press is just biased towards Marvel when they say that DC movies are flopping. It's simple numbers.

And yet the highest grossing DC film ain't DCEU, and BP gonna pass that tomorrow or day after.

I think the new trailer should just be the D23 one. It gives a few new scenes and it means we don't get massively spoiled with new clips. Plus thay trailer is great and I want it released.

But who am I kidding, it will be new and I'll watch all of it lol

Brace yourself, friends. We're in the final stretch.

lol I remember when they said there was no way Black Panther would outgross Wonder Woman domestically. Good times.

How'd you know BP was going to do that well?

Number of factors.

First, it's an MCU film. Nothing needs to be said there, except it gets a boost from being associated with other franchises and characters that audiences currently care about and come out in droves to see (Wonder Woman did not have that going for her, even with her good word of mouth). It was the first solo outing for a character that audiences rated as one of the better parts of a much loved film in Civil War.

That character being the first black superhero to get a movie with the budget and marketing push of that scale made it a cultural event akin to what Wonder Woman was, except the marketing for this film was phenomenal; you'll find no articles wondering "where are the Black Panther ads?!" And as if that wasn't enough, black folks were doing a lot of work on the ground to make sure people knew this movie was coming, and to get them into the theaters; school's raised money to take children, communities bought tickets for entire showings, church groups full of elderly folks who don't give a damn about comic movies made plans to go together, and so on. Kendrick Lamar and TDE put out a (damned good) soundtrack for the movie. Social media was packed with niggas talking about what traditional and other clothing they'd be wearing for their viewings. The Infinity War trailer highlighted T'Challa and Wakanda, and this film is the last movie leading into that, an obvious event the likes of which Hollywood has likely never seen.

And all of this, before impressions got out and confirmed that Coogler and Marvel Studios had, once again, proven themselves incapable of missing. Before many praised what was obviously a brilliant cast, and stated that Marvel might've done their best work yet with Black Panther.

There was just entirely too much to like about this movie from day one, and I had absolutely no problem telling everybody I believed with all my heart it would crack a billion and hit really hard, especially in America and Africa.

Those conservative estimates for opening weekend were always smelly, because I knew they weren't accounting for the black folks who would be showing up in theaters on opening weekend who don't bother with preordering tickets. I knew to expect a great opening, but I realized just how historic the shit would be one week before release, when I flew home to Alabama to bury one of my aunts. I had a lot of conversations with elder aunts and uncles and older cousins who were extremely excited to see the movie the following week. Those estimates just couldn't account for that, but those of us with our eyes and ears open in our communities knew the deal.

I like this post.

The above picture.

The revelation that he's actually playing a cop makes all the sense in the world.
He does look kind of rednecky.

Jeez, looks like filming two of the biggest films of all time back to back really took it out of them. Hemsworth looks like he needs to sleep for a week.

I'm surprised at how little actual footage we've seen from Infinity War. It's pretty cool.
