FOR THE CULTURE!
Black Panther was a game changer of 2018. Immediately after its release in February, it broke box office records. Currently, the movie is the second highest grossing film of 2018; WORLDWIDE. It also made $1.34 billion and counting, and it was the first to hold the number one spot at the box office for at least five weekends since Avatar’s released back in 2009. Domestically, it became the third movie ever to pass $700 million domestically and earned more than Avengers: Infinity War. Not to mention, it has a 95% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. As if these awards weren’t incredible enough, thats not even the most important part. The film was ground-breaking for the black community and its cultural influence and importance as a proudly black film showcasing representation like we’ve never seen. For the first time, little boys and girls were able to see superheroes that looked like them. So no matter what happens at the Globes, that’s the most important win the film could ever receive.
