I don't believe Marvel and Disney thought Black Panther would do so spectacular at the box office. They probably figured it would do as well as any other superhero/comic book movie. But it totally surpassed expectations.
It's easy to see that comic book fans and the general movie audiences were looking for something different than the average comic book/superhero movie. And this movie delivered that. And speaking of something different, I really want to see The Honor List. It's a direct to video movie and the trailer seems interesting with three friends trying to complete a bucket list following the death of their friend. It looks like it will be a interesting drama with maybe a little bit of humor.
Black Panther
Description:
After the death of his father, T'Challa returns home to the African nation of Wakanda to take his rightful place as king. When a powerful enemy suddenly reappears, T'Challa's mettle as king -- and as Black Panther -- gets tested when he's drawn into a conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk. Faced with treachery and danger, the young king must rally his allies and release the full power of Black Panther to defeat his foes and secure the safety of his people.
The Honor List
Director: Elissa Down
Starring: Meghan Rienks, Karrueche Tran, Sasha Pieterse, Arden Cho, Lauren Weedman, Ethan Peck and more
Description:
At the start of high school, Piper, Sophie, Isabella, and Honor think they will be best friends forever, so they sink a time capsule in the lake with a list of things they want to do before graduation. But a big falling-out causes them to grow in different directions regarding their hobbies, cliques, and social status, to the point where it’s like their 14 years of friendship never happened.
By senior year, Piper (Meghan Rienks) has turned into the class clown/party girl. Sophie (Karrueche Tran) pledges to stay a virgin until she’s married, and has created a purity app. Isabella (Sasha Pieterse) is the feminist femme fatale who’s the editor of a zine, and Honor (Arden Cho) is the pride and joy of the community. Honor’s dream of being a professional ballerina is taking off, but when tragedy strikes, the former BFFs must reunite and do all the things on the bucket list they made in eighth grade. From setting free the school mascot (Mo the goat) to getting back at some bitchy cheerleaders by disrupting halftime, the list forces them to face up to the real reasons for their falling-out as they navigate body shaming, sex, and the party culture in high school.
Through laughter, tears, and looking life and death right in the eye, they rediscover their friendship and learn to live life to the fullest at every moment, even if it means saying good-bye forever to someone they love.
