Tracking for this is in the 150-170 range for opening weekend. Marvel playing this shit like absolute pros.

170 sounds high. Not saying it won't do it but Deadpool was considered pretty damn big opening at 150+ at the same spot in the calendar. But it was rated R so ...

But yeah, Marvel was smart in essentially using the first IW trailer to indirectly promote BP by showing a lot of Wakanda in it. Some of the people excited for IW who may not have been all that interested in BP for whatever reason are gonna be a little more inclined to check it out anyway because of the obvious connection.

You described me to a T, and I didn't realize it until you wrote that out. The early trailers of BP (him doing a flip onto a car or some shit) looked retarded. But now I'm interested because of the IW hype.

It's gonna work the other way as well. There are probably quite a few people for whom BP will be the first comic book movie they will have seen in a while, perhaps ever. Getting them invested in Wakanda and it's major players will make them want to see what happens there in IW.

Hey Warner Brothers ... this is how you build a franchise.

Saw it tonight, 6/10, can't really think of anything to say about it.

Was in the elevator from the cinema car park and a black father and son got in. I thought "they must be here for Black Panther too" but instead they headed into the Nando's (Portugese chicken restaurant chain).

There's a few "Oppressor" and "colonialists" thrown around

I wonder if we could get a legitimate Movie subforum thread shawed...

That would be another round in Olscratch’s magazine: “Nazi moderators rickshawed a legitimate discussion thread of the first all-black superhero movie.”

It’ll be right up there with the arbitrary banning of legitimate Jewish members like Screamfeeder and Tolan.

Please tell me Tolan isn't Jewish.. I already had the Mossad reprogram Himeo and I don't have enough pull left to get Tolan dumped in Gaza.

I don’t actually know for sure. I just kinda assumed he is.

Even with his progressive creds, he's just too dumb to be Jewish. What's next, LendoriosJew? It's just Wormie, Scream, and myself working tirelessly to undermine and subvert the forum.

Thought about it some more, Black Panther is basically mcu Dare Devil but with a fancy suit and tech.

The movie is a sub standard mcu film, definitely not the 9 or 10/10 the reviews say it is.

Not full on social justice, there's some stuff relating to Wakanda and the ROTW but nothing heavy handed

Most of the conflict is inter Wakanda which is pretty funny because that's what Africa was like pre white man
