How Black Panther Changed the World
An in-depth look into the ground-breaking success and production of Black Panther
There are not many films that shook up the industry quite like the way Black Panther did. A financial powerhouse that made over 1.3 billion dollars and as of now sits as the twelfth highest grossing film of all-time. After 17 successful movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, you would think Disney would just stay the course and continue using their successful formula. Yet thanks to determined leadership, a collaborative director and a powerful story, the 18th film Black Panther, was anything but familiar. Join us as we reflect on the picture’s many achievements, it’s cultural significance throughout the world and the challenges it faced, getting onto the big screen.
