Steve minion butt pinterest3/30/2024 ![]() ![]() DC thing, I am just pointing out that BP did with little known characters what JL couldn’t do with household names. Let that sink in, a relatively unknown cast of heroes beat the team up film of all of DC’s main characters. I am *so* happy that Black Panther did well, it is such an enjoyable film and I am hoping it sets a precedent.Īlso to add to the facts, Black Panther made more money domestically within the US in 4 days than Justice League did in it entire run. The scope of its achievement is staggering at every level. Yet BP went out, beat all projections, and smashed records. In other words, BP had everything going against it compared to TLJ–bad release date, fewer theaters, lesser known characters from a smaller brand, not a main “storyline” movie like TLJ was, saddled with the conventional wisdom that Black-led movies are niche products without wider appeal. ![]() In fact, BP opened at the fewest number of theaters among the Top 10 highest opening weekend record holders, and you won’t find a comparable number of theaters until number 18, Furious 7, which opened at 4,004 theaters. BP also opened at 200 fewer theaters than TLJ, 4,020 to TLJ’s 4,232. The previous highest February opening weekend was Deadpool at $130 million, which BP beat by $70 million. BP is the only movie among the Top 10 domestic opening weekend record holders to be released in February. BP had a February release, one of the worst if not the worst time for a blockbuster movie, as opposed to TLJ’s Christmas release. I wonder if people realize how IMPOSSIBLE it is that Black Panther beat out The Last Jedi in four-day domestic openings. ![]()
