[JofromthaNO]

Checked it out for a second viewing last night - my homegirl was surprised to see so many white people at the theater lol. At her first viewing of the movie, it was opening weekend and chock full of us. I told her the crowd at my first viewing looked pretty similar to this crowd - some black people just don't realize the Marvel impact and how it isn't just US that have a huge desire to see it.

‘Black Panther’ Pouncing On $400M Overseas, $900M WW – International Box Office

Disney/Marvel’s Black Panther is about to cross $900M at the worldwide box office. With a 3rd leading domestic weekend, and as overseas turnstiles tip towards $400M, the Wakanda wonder has grossed an estimated $897.7M globally through Sunday. The breakdown is $501.1M in North America and $396.6M at the international box office.

When the Ryan Coogler-helmed Black Panther crosses the $900M global mark on Monday, it will become the 5th Marvel Cinematic Universe title to reach the milestone, after The Avengers, Avengers: Age Of Ultron, Iron Man 3 and Captain America: Civil War. For T’Challa, the $1B worldwide box office mark lies ahead next weekend.

Domestically, Black Panther continues to play at the top end of the Marvel echelon while the best overseas comps are Doctor Strange, Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2and Thor: Ragnarok. BP is dominating each of those.

Internationally, this frame was worth $56.2M in 56 material markets. Overall abroad, holds were generally solid with a 42% decline from last weekend. While Italy and Spain have been notably soft on the Panther, he’s come up a bit in Germany versus the early dominance of Fifty Shades Freed. Elsewhere, BP is the highest-grossing movie of all time in West and East Africa; the top MCU title in the Netherlands; and has run past the lifetime of Thor 3 in Hong Kong, Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam, demonstrating the strong appetite in South East Asia despite initial concerns.

Next weekend T’Challa takes on China and should easily take the win with advance ticket sales that have been tracking at the level of Spider-Man: Homecoming. That film opened to $71M last September, and finaled at $116M.

In the meantime, Operation Red Seacontinues to lead the charge in the Middle Kingdom, rising to $471M after just 17 days in release. It won the weekend, but is overall being led by its fellow Chinese New Year release, Detective Chinatown 2, which is closing in on $500M at an estimated $494M through Sunday.

Those two films kept pretty much everyone else at bay in China, although as the only new kids offering, Sony’s Peter Rabbithad an OK start at $12.7M. That helped it hop past $100M global. And, multiple Oscar nominee Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri posted a solid art-house launch of $2.4M on 815 screens.

The weekend’s major new opener, Fox/Chernin’s Jennifer Lawrence-starrer Red Sparrow grossed $26.6M in its maiden flight in 65 markets. That’s about equal to what the last Lawrence-fronted pic, mother!, did in its lifetime overseas, and is 60% of Atomic Blonde‘s full run.

In other Fox news, Maze Runner: The Death Cure has topped both The Scorch Trials and the original Maze Runner internationally.

Elsewhere, Universal’s Fifty Shades Freed has collared over $250M overseas as it approaches $350M worldwide.

Gawd damn Operation Red Sea and Detective Chinatown... That shit is just in China.

And people wonder why all these blockbusters have at least one to two Asian Stars in the flix.

Even Black Panther had an entire segment in Korea.

Black Panther Tops $500 Million, Becoming Tenth Largest Domestic Release All-Time
by Brad Brevet

March 4, 2018

It was yet another monster weekend for Disney and Marvel's Black Panther as the superhero feature became the third fastest film to ever reach $500 million domestic. Meanwhile, the weekend's new wide releases came up just a bit short of Mojo's pre-weekend forecast with Fox's Red Sparrow taking runner-up position behind Black Pantherand MGM's Death Wish landing in third. It's also Oscar Sunday, which means we'll end this recap with a brief look at this some of year's nominees and how they stack up at the box office.

With an estimated $65.7 million, Disney and Marvel Studios's Black Panther topped the weekend box office for the third straight weekend, becoming only the third film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to accomplish that feat over its first three weeks in release, the others being Captain America: The Winter Soldier and The Avengers. As noted above, the film also topped $500 million domestic, becoming the third fastest film to do so, bringing in $501.1 million in just 17 days, tied with Jurassic World and one day behind Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

Black Panther's performance so far has it ranked as the tenth highest grossing domestic release of all-time, third highest grossing comic book adaptation and superhero film and it has now found a spot within the all-time top 50 worldwide. This weekend's performance was also the third largest third weekend of all-time and should the past two weekends be any indication, it could leapfrog Avatar for second largest if actuals come in ~$2.8 million higher than estimates.

Speaking of worldwide, Black Panther added another $56.2 million internationally this weekend, pushing its overseas cume of $396.6 million for a global tally just shy of $900 million. This weekend saw the film open in Japan with an estimated $2.4 million ($4.2M including previews), besting Ant-Man, Guardians of the Galaxy and Thor: Ragnarok. The UK still leads all international markets with nearly $50 million followed by South Korea ($41.4 million). Black Panther will open in China, its final international market, next weekend.

What is Nollywood?

Inside Nollywood, the booming film industry that makes 1,500 movies a year

Oct 24, 2017 2:33 PM EST


In 1992, after years of watching only imported American, Indian or Chinese films, Nigeria’s local film industry had its first real hit. “Living in Bondage,” a straight-to-video dramatic thriller, followed a man who sacrificed his wife to a satanic cult and afterwards was haunted by her ghost. Many mark the film as the unofficial start of Nigeria’s home-grown film industry, dubbed “Nollywood,” which produces an incredible 1,500 or more movies a year — vastly more than Hollywood, and second in number only to India’s film industry, Bollywood.

Today, Nollywood films are available globally on cellphones, Netflix and YouTube, and on streets across Africa. In her new book “Nollywood: The Making of a Film Empire,” journalist Emily Witt argues that Nollywood is positioned to become a global brand much like the films of Bollywood or kung fu movies. This despite the many obstacles filmmakers might face: electricity cuts, fuel scarcity, political instability and more.

“There were a lot of films in Nigeria through the years, but none spoke our voice.”
The book’s introduction, as relayed to Witt by Nigerian documentary filmmaker Femi Odugbemi, describes how cinema and other culture in Nigeria was dominated for decades by the narratives of the colonialists. (Nigeria was under British rule from 1901 to 1960, when an independence movement led to self-government.) But then, Odugbemi told Witt, “People who were the consumers began to become the storytellers… There were a lot of films in Nigeria through the years, but none spoke our voice. None recognized our existence as a distinct culture, as a distinct civilization, a distinct aspiration. ”

For the first time, movies in Nigeria showed not “poverty porn” about the country, Odugbemi said, but also that there were people who had eight cars and big houses. It showed people faithful to their wives and people who cheated, just as happened in the West. And it fixated on some of the country’s particular interests, in mythology, in spirituality, in the environment.

Just a decade after “Living in Bondage,” Nollywood films, made in some 300 languages, were being watched in both urban and rural areas, distributed on both the streets and online, and finding their way into international festivals. And since the 2000s, Nollywood films have only continue to proliferate and spread. We recently spoke to Witt about the cultural phenomenon, how it’s spread, and how Nollywood films today are both distinctively Nigerian and globally influenced.



ELIZABETH FLOCK: And Hollywood and Bollywood, the world’s two other biggest film industries — are those films being watched in Nigeria too?

“Hollywood has ignored black people for so long, and so the [American] movies that get shown in Nigeria, that people buy, they have black actors.”
EMILY WITT: Bollywood is popular in the Hausa community [a community in Northern Nigeria, who are mostly Muslim]. Nigerian producers are also talking about a future “Slumdog Millionaire” moment, when a Nollywood movie would make a crossover the way a Bollywood movie did. It’s not a bad example, because if it were to happen I think it would be a bicultural production.

Hollywood is everywhere. What I found interesting, but not surprising at all, is what you usually saw for sale, or even on a movie or on TV, is — I’ve never seen so much Danny Glover as sitting in bars in Nigeria. Hollywood has ignored black people for so long, and so the movies that get shown in Nigeria, that people buy, they have black actors. The pirated stuff I saw there was “Empire,” “Scandal,” or a show with Viola Davis. And “Game of Thrones” too, but definitely more movies with African American actors.

I saw ONE sister bring a colonizer...

and the OTHER sisters made it very obvious how they felt.

so far NO reports of a brother bringing one.

I don't think any of us realize that. Since we're getting so many marvel movies each year with a ton of promotion. It's pretty much impossible to miss it. Some probably just don't care. The only thing I noticed is a lot of older people are seeing this than the traditional marvel movie. So in that aspect you might be right, because I didn't see 60+ for other marvel movies.

How did she look though

I think it's awesome to see a "super hero movie" reach beyond it's general viewing group and pull in the elderly, black people, etc.

It'll actually help the numbers of the new Avengers movie, I believe...not that Infinity War really needed anymore hype (lol), but I have girlfriends asking me details about the plot of Black Panther and back story of Bucky Barnes, etc. who aren't the "typical" viewer, but they're prepping for Infinity War and want to build their understanding.

I think people are also realizing the pull of super hero movies - yes, it's science fiction and action, etc. but there are some great story lines and themes found within many of them, especially the ones coming out of Marvel in the past 10 years.

The book has a huge following though. It was published in the 60's and many schools had it as part of a reading assignment at one time or another. I read it and liked it when I was in school and a couple of men on this board have remarked they have read it also.
