Black Panther

[Lensman]

Box Office Mojo didn’t track any numbers for BP this weekend, so I’m assuming it is out until the IMAX re-release next month.

Longest theatrical run of 2018, and highest domestic grossing film of 2018. Well done, Black Panther, well done.

Looks like it!

I agree. Well done, T'Challa!

Should probably change the title to Black Panther 2

For this thread? I think a separate thread for BP2 works

Didn't like it. Way over-hyped.

I would agree that it is over-hyped. I thought it was good but after watching it now on Blu-ray over the last couple months, it doesn't make my top 10.

97% thumbs up from critics. 85% overall score from critics (which is very high for critics). $1.35 Billion at the world wide box office. There is no objective criteria to show that BP was 'over hyped', especially when Disney was surprised at its success.

So... not over-hyped. You're entitled to your opinions, but you'll have to accept what a small minority you're part of.

On Disney’s awards consideration site, we officially know what they’re trying to get nominated from this movie. 16 categories, lots of different people.

Black Panther was listed as one of the American Film Institute’s top 10 films of 2018 list (along with Mary Poppins)

 

[Princess Leia]

BEST PICTURE (DRAMA) NOMINATION!!!! (Golden Globes)

 

[Princess Leia]

This is a big deal. No superhero movie has ever been nominated in this category before.

Edit- Deadpool was nominated in the musical/comedy category for the 2017 awards, and Ryan Reynolds picked up a nomination that year as well.

...a movie which isn't out yet...

But has had its world premier, and possibly screener copies sent out.

Maybe so, but it's still under press embargo.

I’m going to assume that the people at the American Film Institute have seen the movie. MPR has also been nominated for a few Golden Globes despite it not being out in wide release yet.

Definitely interesting to look at the categories this year. Black Panther is in the drama category, but it doesn’t quite fit in either drama or musical/comedy. A Star is Born is a musical, but also in the drama category. MPR is in the musical/comedy category, so that’s one of the few that actually make sense.

The past few years have had The Martian and Get Out in the comedy category, so maybe it’s time that a new category is added, or the best films are merged together into one 10-movie list.

 

[Princess Leia]

12 Critics Choice nominations

 

[Princess Leia]

SAG nominations-

Best Cast and Best Stunt Cast

 

[Princess Leia]

Grammy nominations for the album and soundtrack-

I know that the film and soundtrack won’t win everything, but all of the nominations it has received so far are pretty impressive. Superhero films typically don’t receive this kind of response (even though in a few cases, they really should). The Oscar nominations won’t come out for another month, but this is a sign that the film could get a nod in one of the larger categories (and not just technical- the technical categories are also important, but don’t get as much recognition).

 

[Princess Leia]

Alright, Academy Award nominations were announced...

• Best Picture
• Sound Editing
• Sound Mixing
• Production Design
• Costume Design
• Original Song- All the Stars
• Original Score

7 nominations over all, not bad.

Don't care and BP was none of these.

It was a good movie though.

Yea I really liked black panther but infinity war was the better movie. I'm glad we are seeing a blockbuster on the best picture list. Even if it's most likely the academy just trying to throw a bone to the viewers who are mad the most popular of movies rarely get nominated.
