We Did It!!!!
The impossible has happened.
The Black Movie that Wouldn't..... Shouldn't.... Couldn't.... DID IT!!!!
Black Panther, the first BIG BUDGET Black Movie starring almost All Black Actors, with a Black Director and mostly all Black people in all important production influence positions (music, wardrobe, makeup, etc etc) has proven that not only can a Black Movie, taking place in "Africa" starring Black People, telling a Black story, can and will make money, but be highly profitable and successful as well.
We have achieved Black Excellence, a Black Cultural Milestone, a **** You!!!! to old Hollywood.
Black Panther has managed to not only be the 1st BIG BUDGET BLACK MOVIE TO SEE SUCCESS
it is also the HIGHEST DOMESTIC GROSSING MOVIE in the MCU
it is also only the 3rd movie EVER to cross $700M Domestic in the US.
I believe it was also the only 1st Solo Outting in the MCU to cross $1B
It was also the only Non-Avengers MCU movie to cross $1B and NOT have Ironman in it, or any other established Avenger at all.....
and all this after hanging around on the Box Office and in the Theaters for close to 6 months now.
Just Incredible.

Some achievements cannot be taken away. Regardless of where IW ends up, BP will always be 1st in the MCU and 3rd Movie ever to do it.
