When An Event Is Eclipsed By A Movie, Not Vice Versa
Marvel Studios

There was "Avatar", "Titanic", "Star Wars", "Batman" and others but "Black
Panther" (from Marvel Studios) may have eclipsed them all as movie event and
pure spectacle. Yet Ryan Coogler's film doesn't get shrunk by the event
itself. Quite the opposite, "Black Panther" towers over the event around
it, raising the stakes and beaming a beacon of affirming pride to Black
moviegoers all over the African diaspora.
Many people watched "Black Panther" in theaters (IMAX, 3D, 2D, large screen
formats) all over the U.S. and Canada tonight, awed by what they saw.
Applause broke out before, during and after Mr. Coogler's film certainly attests
to that.
Marvel has a real marvel of a film on its hands. This is a certified $200
million opener over the four-day holiday weekend, and lots of people, including
myself, will see "Black Panther" again.
(Note: There will be a giveaway of Kendrick
Lamar's "Black Panther" CD soundtrack here and on Twitter
@popcornreel
on Friday morning. Stay tuned.)
