WAKANDA FOREVER!
We are just a few days away from Black History Month. Disney has set one week for “Black Panther” to return to theaters to celebrate Black History Month.
Tickets must be reserved in advance and all tickets are free for everyone. Black Panther will be shown twice per day at each participating AMC theater. In addition, Disney announced that they’d give a $1.5 million grant to support the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) to help minority students access and move to and through college.
Disney made the announcement Monday after “Black Panther” claimed two SAG Awards! One for Outstanding Performance for cast in a motion picture and another for Outstanding Performance by a Stunt Ensemble in a Motion Picture. “Black Panther” totaled $700 million in North American box office and $647 million more internationally.
The chairman and chief executive officer, Bob Iger said, “Black Panther is groundbreaking for many reasons, including the rich diversity of voices behind its success.” “The story also showcases the power of knowledge to change the world for the better, and the importance of ensuring everyone has access to it. We’re proud to provide thousands of free screenings of ‘Black Panther’ in hopes it will continue to inspire audiences, and to support UNCF with a $1.5 million grant to make the dream of higher education a reality for more students.”
