Disney/Marvel Deems Black Panther not Important enough for a midnight release across the UK
Explain their reasons behind not giving the movie a midnight release despite giving less anticipated movies the earliest possible release of the film?
Why is this important?
This film is highly important on so many social levels.
- First ever (Big Budget) Black Superhero Film in history
- Will show off true African culture in a positive light
- A chance for the British public to see Africa in a positive light (Fictional or not)
- The film being reported as "The most highly anticipated superhero movie of ALL TIME" but is not being treated as such by Odeon and or Disney/Marvel
- I feel the film is discriminated against as a cinema viewing at that hour (13/02/2018 - 00:05) would be filled with young black male & females between the ages of 18-25 pushing up to around the age of 32 and this is of course discrimination at its finest
This film has garnered a huge level of anticipation in the US & overseas,
"Black Panther' Sets New Early Sales Record, Eyeing Possible $150 Million Opening Weekend" - Forbes
"The movie-ticket site Fandango has announced that the latest Disney/Marvel superhero film is outpacing all previous movies released in the first quarter in terms of advance sales. It's beating out such hits as "The Hunger Games" (2012) and "Beauty and the Beast" (2017), says The Hollywood Reporter." - Fandango
