[Lekooks] Fwd: "Black Panther": Pledge to see the movie now

[Liz Kreml]

Black Panther is getting "a rare A+."


"Disney and Marvel Studios' *Black Panther*
<https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/black-panther-review-1080811> is
making history at the North American box office, where it's pacing to take
in a record-shattering $205 million-$210 million over the long Presidents
Day weekend after earning a rare A+ CinemaScore from audiences."

"Directed by Ryan Coogler, the $200 million film is a defining moment in
Hollywood history, being a big-budget studio tentpole featuring a virtually
all-black cast. In the film, Chadwick Boseman stars as T'Challa/Black
Panther alongside Lupita Nyong'o, Michael B. Jordan, Daniel Kaluuya,
Letitia Wright, Winston Duke, Angela Bassett, Forest Whitaker and Andy
Serkis.

The story follows T'Challa as he is sworn in as king of Wakanda, a cloaked,
technologically advanced nation in Africa that's home to the exotic metal
vibranium, which powers much of Black Panther's tech."
