Ryan Coogler’s film has shattered box-office records and earned just as high praise, including from Oprah Winfrey, who called it “phenomenal” and “Moonlight” director Barry Jenkins who tweeted: “BLACK PANTHER is PEAK double consciousness. It’s a Marvel movie, sure. And a blockbuster, absolutely, covers those bases and covers them well. But a film that features that vegetarian bit? Or Kilmonger’s last line? Ryan’s made two movies at once. And he crushed them both.”
As previously reported, the film is en route a projected $235 million-plus for the four-day holiday weekend.
