As a woman of color, I am happy to support any film that stars a diverse cast. But AWIT looks silly so I won’t bother.

And 675 dom is low too now. Just 113 away after a 41 weekend. Deadpool's legs take it close to 690 and it's been trending better. 690 + 585 = 1275 ww or more imo.
Woohoo!

I just don't see how Black Panther is any more "diverse" than most other blockbuster movies by any meaningful definition that isn't just "diverse = black"
Also, first black director to do what exactly?
It’s just as diverse as any other diverse movie.
It’s special, one of a kind and different than any other blockbuster, because after 18th movies, its Marvel first 200 budget film given to a black director, starring a black superhero, with a ton of diverse black characters.
You know as well as I do that there’s nothing that’s been ever released that comes close to Black Panther. Don’t be dense. It’s not cute.

Exactly....
You don’t make any sense. That just means that Thor Ragnarok was also a diverse movie, shit Kevin Feige talked about casting a black Valkerie because he wanted a diverse movie. Just like Black Panther is. BP is a movie that’s getting so much attention because not only is it diverse (different nationality, different skincolors, different sexes), it is also a lot of “firsts”; first black director, first 200 budget movie in which the majority of the films diverse cast has black skin, etc, etc, etc, ETCETERA.

You could just as well say that Thor Ragnarok was a diverse movie. It has Australia, English, Welsh, Irish, American, New Zealand, Japanese actors. Two of the main cast are black.
It's very diverse, it's just most of the diverse cast just happened to be white.
Yes, you can say that, so what’s your point?

I just don't see how the writer's personal political opinion has anything to do with box office numbers.
Its his personal blog about box office numbers. The man updates the things lots of times during the weekend. Plus it’s like 1 line.

But Black Panther wasn't diverse....
Not only was it diverse behind the scenes (white male composer, white female cinematographer, black director, black female costume designer and production designer), it was diverse in front of it as well.
Black, asian and white people from all over the globe were cast (UK, Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Korea, the US, etc).
Most of the diverse cast just happened to have black skin.

This is the opening sentence for Deadline's weekend report. I'm no trump fan but this is pretty pathetic and lazy and unprofessional...
At a time when our U.S. President cultivates division in society, Hollywood and moviegoers counter that by supporting pics with positive messages of inclusivity.
Why is it pathetic, lazy and unprofessional?
He has a right to his opinion.

Okay, a post with some more serious numbers. If BP gets a 42 weekend to get a 563 total to date, then here’s about how it would do with the 4th weekend multipliers of some various movies (some better comps than others):
GotG2 675
TFA 687
TA 689
BATB 692
DP 693
The Jungle Book 693
JW 701
TDK 710
WW 722
JUM2 731
Zootopia 739
SM:H 740
That was all mental math, so don’t @ me if some of them are like +/- 2M, but basically top 3 DOM is looking *very* good.
Which one is more likely in your opinion?

If it only does 35mil I don't see Wrinkle making much of a profit if it doesn't double what Tomorrowland did overseas even if it does scrape past 100mil domestically. Not like Disney will be hurting either way but this is clearly not the Time Magazine Cover approved phenomenon that the media was hyping it up to be. I know some hate when I bring that up but it annoyed me so I will continue to. I don't like unearned hype.
Oh please, no one was hyping this.
Promoting a movie is not the same as hyping it up.
Learn the difference.
This, is the begin of hype.
A top Disney exec told me flat out that they would be campaigning not only Black Panther for the big prize but also the upcoming Mary Poppins Returns (from director Rob Marshall), which he was raving about, particularly for star Emily Blunt. who he says knocks it out of the park in the role for which Julie Andrews already has an Oscar.
And I expect Mary Poppins will be promoted and hyped to no end.
No one was raving about AWIT.

I don't think anyone is gonna argue that Gadot is this phenomenal actress but her role as Wonder Woman doesn't require that. She may not be the best actress out there but she is phenomenal as Wonder Woman and in the end that's all that matters for that role. If the actor or actress can sell themselves as the character they're playing, what more can you want in a franchise film?
She sucks.
If you cut out all of her speaking scenes, then maybe she becomes good. They should make Wonder Woman mute in WW2.

Gal gadot is not a good actress and chris pine and the 2nd act of the movie are the only good things about wonder woman.
Totally agree. She’s only great at making faces.

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.
Woohoo. The Netherlands. It’s where I live.

I think it might fall a tiny bit short of that around high $680's/low $690's which would still be the third biggest film of all time.
Who could have even imagined this!??

Anything better than a 40% drop for Sunday would let Black Panther reach $500 million on Sunday after only 17 days!
This run is absolutely insane. $500 million would put it $42.4 MILLION AHEAD of The Avengers after 17 days.
It is about to join the top 10 domestic movies of all time!!!

Most actresses film twitter/critics are having a hard on forget, on purpose, an important factor : movie star quality, charisma, x factor call it what you want.
Emma & Jlaw have it, indie darlings like Sirsha or Rooney Mara don't have it, they ll do Sundance/Cannes/Ampas movies until the end of times.
From this generation (born around 1990), ony Margot has it too.
A bit before, you had Scarjo.
Having charisma and star quality obviously made them succesful. No one is arguing that they’re not the biggest stars of their generation. But success does not equal talent.
ETA: And this is not to say that J.Lawrence and E.Stone aren’t talented. They’re just not the most talented of their generation. In my (of course, subjective) opinion.

It’s mostly due to the fact that only those three (young white actresses) get hired for all the big jobs. It’s easy to be top 3 when there are only 3 getting hired.

Last weekend they had BP at 92 m for its 2nd weekend during the first update.
So I expect those numbers to go up by at least 3 million by Sunday.
They might have learned from their mistake though.

You can’t blame Oprah. The book is just not popular and the movie looks bad.
