Black Panther ($1.3 Billion Worldwide Box Office)
“Creed” helmer Ryan Coogler is in talks to direct Marvel’s “Black Panther,” sources confirm for Variety.
Kevin Feige is producing the film which stars Chadwick Boseman as T’Challa, the prince of the African nation of Wakanda, who must take over the mantel after his father’s murder.
Joe Robert Cole is penning the script.
This marks the second time the studio has approached Coogler about directing the film and at the time he didn’t feel it was the right fit for him and returned to finish post-production on “Creed.” With “Creed” now behind him, Coogler had a change of heart and took the studio up on the offer of directing the film.
Marvel previously considered director Ava DuVernay for the job as well as F. Gary Gray. The film will hits theaters on July 6, 2018.
“Creed is coming off a big opening weekend where it brought in more than $40 million dollar with awards pundits seeing it having a shot at a run at an Oscar so obviously was looked as one of the hotter helmers in town. Coogler first broke out on to the scene with the Sundance hit “Fruitvale Station,” which also had a hand in launching “Creed” star Michael B. Jordan’s career as well.

OFFICIAL: CREED Director Ryan Coogler Will Direct Marvel's BLACK PANTHER
Ryan Coogler will direct Marvel's Black Panther.
Now, take a minute to digest that.
A few short moments ago, Marvel Studios officially announced that Ryan Coogler, director/writer of critically acclaimed films such as Creed & Fruitvale Station, will in fact helm the eighteenth installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Black Panther. The film will star Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa and is expected to hit theaters February 16, 2018.
Marvel president Kevin Feige released this statement about Coogler, who is easily the most accomplished director Marvel has landed to date, signing on: “We are fortunate to have such an esteemed filmmaker join the Marvel family, The talents Ryan showcased in his first two films easily made him our top choice to direct ‘Black Panther.’ Many fans have waited a long time to see Black Panther in his own film, and with Ryan we know we’ve found the perfect director to bring T’Challa’s story to life.”

Yep, great choice. She's part Kenyan too I think so it's kind of a perfect choice.

Yeah, I don't know about Jordan. He's a good actor but I don't know about this role for him.

That's almost always a confirmation when management shuts it down that fast. They don't want publicity to ruin potential unsigned deals.

Over the last three years I've felt so inundated with superhero movies that I stopped seeing them pretty much entirely, also I'm still on my anti-Marvel film kick, even though I do watch SHIELD but I don't watch DC movies anymore either.

Same. I just can't watch them anymore. They've become the generic big-budget action film.
The Cap solo films I will watch. And I do want to watch Logan (I'm waiting for the Black & White version). That's about it.

This isn't just any old SH film, for obvious reasons.

Black Panther should be a big deal, the same Wonder Woman should have been but at this point there isn't a single SH film I am looking forward to.
Now if Blade ever comes back, I'll be there.

Still another 7 months until release but in true Marvel fashion cause it feels like we've been watching trailers for this for a few years now.
Re: Black Panther ($1.3 Billion Worldwide Box Office)
This is coming out February 16. You scared me, I thought it got delayed or something. It can't come out after Infinity War.

Re: Black Panther ($1.3 Billion Worldwide Box Office)
This is looking very good. This could be one of the best MCU movies, Winter Soldier level. Ragnarok was too much of a comedy movie, it was a fun movie but it overshadowed even some of the serious scenes.

Ragnarok was easily the best Thor movie
Black Panther looks both awesome and terrible at the same time, not really sure what to think

I have to disagree with this statement. The first one was the best one. Even though he was human for the most part of the movie. Hiddleston/Loki was best in that one as well. Now it's just more of the same. The tone and seriousness is what makes Winter Soldier the best and lately it's been a lot of comedy in the MCU movies but Black Panther seems to be different........we shall see.

Re: Black Panther ($1.3 Billion Worldwide Box Office)
Ryan Coogler and Marvel Studios’ Black Panther successfully shut down the naysayers and the non-believers (including your truly) by not only breaking the February and President’s Day records set by Ryan Reynold’s Deadpool. No, the groundbreaking Marvel film even surpassed the impressive openings by Avengers; Age of Ultron and Captain America: Civil War, two of the studio’s rccent benchmark releases, and that’s without the presence of Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans or even Chris Hemsworth.Starring Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan, Danai Garira, Lupita Nyong’o, Martin Freeman, Daniel Kaluuya, Letitia Wright, Winston Duke, Angela Bassett, Forest Whitaker and Andy Serkis, Marvel’s Black Panther opened semi-modestly with $25.2 million in Thursday previews, in itself a record for the month in terms of Thursday box office. That amount was rolled into the film’s Friday estimate of $75.8 million, which was lower than Batman v Superman and Avengers: Age of Ultron, but slightly higher than Captain America: Civil War.Disney estimated $192 million for the three-day weekend on Sunday morning, but that amount was boosted to $201.8 million on Monday with the movie grossing more than $60 million Sunday, the second-highest Sunday gross ever (after 2015’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens). Disney’s current estimate for the four-day extended weekend is $235 million, which not only sets a record for Presidents Day weekend, but it’s also the biggest holiday opening ever. It seems so long ago that Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park: The Lost World held that record with $90.2 million. That’s because it was twenty years ago and so many movies have been able to surpass that seemingly insurmountable amount.It would be an understatement to say that I completely underestimated the manic frenzy to see Black Panther as soon as possible. Clearly, it was the right time for a Black Panther movie, and the Marvel brand continues to bring in audiences of all genders, ages, races, shapes and sizes. Black Panther‘s celebration of Africa and African culture made the movie more of a social event then just another superhero movie.Even so, Marvel’s latest didn’t surpass the $207 million opening of Marvel’s The Avengers going by the three-day estimate, but it’s the fifth-biggest domestic opening weekend for any movie ever. Also, in just four days, Coogler set a new record for a movie directed by an African-American filmmaker, surpassing last year’s Fate of the Furious directed by F. Gary Gray, as well as Jordan Peele’s Get Out rather briskly. Sorry, guys!
Overseas, Black Panther also did quite well in 48 territories, most of which aren’t celebrating Presidents Day despite having much more worthy presidents to celebrate. The movie grossed $169 million in those markets bringing its three-day global total to $361 million and setting many records in those international territories. Disney will open Black Panther in Japan on March 1 and in China on March 9, so we’ll have to see how the movie fares in those two big markets.The release of Black Panther helped the IMAX Corp. attain their second-highest global weekend with almost $53 million over the four-day weekend. $35 million of that came from Black Panther‘s global IMAX release over the four days and $23.5 million from 404 domestic IMAX screens, averaging more than $58,000 per location. That’s also the biggest IMAX opening for a Marvel movie, surpassing Captain America: Civil War in that respect.Black Panther received an extremely rare “A+” Cinemascore, but it’s not the first superhero movie to do so, as 2012’s Marvel’s The Avengers managed the same score, and that grossed $623 million after opening with $207.4 million. It might be too early to tell whether Black Panther can achieve the same numbers domestically, but it’s well on its way to $450 million plus based on its opening weekend.The other two new movies, Aardman Studios’ Early Man and Pure Flix’s biblical epic Samson, didn’t even make it into the top 5. In fact, one of them barely een made it into the top 10 as audiences showed little interest in anything besides Black Panther and the returning movies.Sony’s Peter Rabbit sustained its second place at the box office with $17.6 million over the three-day holiday and an est. $23 million including Monday, bringing its total to $54.1 million.It also surpassed last week’s winner, Universal’s Fifty Shades Freed, which took the biggest plunge in the top 10, down 55% from its opening weekend to an est. $17.3 million over the three-day weekend and $19.4 million including Monday. The end to the romance trilogy based on E.L. James’ books has grossed $78.6 million domestically, compared to its predecessor’s $91.4 million in the same amount of time.Sony Pictures’ astounding blockbuster Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, starring Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black and Karen Gillan, which surpassed $350 million last weekend and is now leveraging its way to $400 million. Over the holiday weekend, Jumanji added another $10 million, bringing its domesic total to $379.8 million.Jumanji also crossed the $900 million mark at the global box office, potentially making it one of the rare films to gross more than a billion worldwide.Clint Eastwood’s The 15:17 to Paris dropped to fifth place with $9.1 million over the four-day weekend, down 27% to bring its 11-day total to $26.9 million.Fox’s The Greatest Showman fell to sixth place but with barely a drop from last weekend, grossing an est. $6.4 million over the four-day weekend, as it crossed $150 million and surpassed 2016’s La La Land to become the fourth-highest grossing movie musical domestically. The $504 million made last year by Disney’s Beauty and the Beast will keep it in the number one slot for a very long time.
Getting back to the stop-motion animation Early Man, released by Summit/Lionsgate Friday into 2,450 theaters, the PG film featured the voices of Eddie Redmayne and Tom Hiddleston but failed to bring in much of an audience. Opening in seventh place, Early Man grossed $3.2 million over the three-day weekend and an est. $4.2 million including Monday, averaging $1,714 per theater. Early Man‘s “B” CinemaScore was nothing to write home about either.Pure Flix’s biblical epic Samson didn’t fare much better in 1,249 theaters, bombing with just $2.3 million over the four-day weekend and $1.9 million for the three-day. Both of the new movies abvoe averaged less than $2,000 despite the Monday holiday, which is not good at all. So much for counter-programming.A Chinese family film called Monster Hunt 2 was released into 69 U.S. theaters by Lionsgate on Friday but only grossed about $401,000 over the holiday weekend or $5,812 per theater.In China, that same movie grossed $190 million, almost as much as Black Panther, just to show you what huge business local movies are doing in China. That was only a small portion of the half a billion dollars grossed by Chinese theaters over the Lunar New Year weekend. Monster Hunt 2 was joined in the China market by two other local films, the sequel Detective Chinatown 2 and Operation Red Sea. Those three movies alone made $19 million in Chinese IMAX theaters over the four-day weekend.Produced by Warner Bros. International, Detective Chinatown 2 grossed $862,000 over the four-day weekend in North America in 115 locations, an average of just $7,500.The Bleecker Street release Nostalgia, starring Jon Hamm and Ellen Burstyn, bombed with just $18,000 in three theaters in New York and L.A. or $6,000 per theater.(Source: boxofficemojo.com. Figures represent estimated numbers at time of writing, and they may change.)

If this makes the Blade 4 happen then I'm happy, otherwise it's just another superhero movie I won't see.
Re: Black Panther ($1.3 Billion Worldwide Box Office)
It was good, not great.
There won't be a Blade 4. Speaking of though, I wish Snipes got a cameo in this. He was pushing for Black Panther years before Blade and during and after.

I remember Snipes talking about BP shortly after Blade and until then I'd never even heard of the BP character before.
Re: Black Panther ($1.3 Billion Worldwide Box Office)
I remember him talking about it after too, but those were the old days where just because interviews were out didn't mean they were all over the place

Re: Black Panther ($1.3 Billion Worldwide Box Office)
I watched it today and it's up there with the great ones. Killmonger is probably the best villain of the MCU so far. You just understand where he was coming from and you almost want to root for him. This is Michael B Jordan's best role so far, he went all out with it and I just saw him as a character. Wakanda looked amazing, I've seen Wakanda in some comics and they translated it to the big screen beautifully. This movie was really well done. The score was excellent, it fit perfectly with the culture of Wakanda. Shuri was funny throwing humor in some moments but it wasn't too much. This movie had a serious tone overall, I recommend you guys check it out.

Watched this tonight.
I slept from when T'Challa became king until they captured Smeagol. Drifted in and out until after Bilbo finished interrogating Smeagol.

I feel like I'm 70% sure I know the answer but Dildo Baggins and Smeagol did not cross over to the MCU did they?
Re: Black Panther ($1.3 Billion Worldwide Box Office)
LOL no, I just used their Lord of the Rings character names because I don't know their actual names.
The movie was okay. Not worth a theater viewing. It's only download-worthy if you do not have a bandwidth cap on internet usage. Otherwise, I'd say pass.
