Did a study from BP the other day to try and figure out how a full story moment would look in my current style. A good lesson on color, lighting simplification, capturing likeness, and pushing value structure. Not perfect, but I learned a lot!
“Analysts agree that Black Panther, released in February, lifted Infinity War to greater heights than it might have reached otherwise. Black Panther, the first big-budget Hollywood movie to feature virtually an all-black cast, debuted to $202 million in mid-February on its way to becoming the top-grossing superhero of all time in North America ($688 million) and the No. 9 film of all time globally $1.333 billion (over the weekend, Black Panther over took Star Wars: The Last Jedi).
The character Black Panther, played by Chadwick Boseman, appears in Infinity War, while a key scene takes place in Black Panther’s home, Wakanda. Other Black Panther stars seen in the latest Avengers film include Danai Gurira, Angela Bassett, Letitia Wright and Winston Duke.
“To call Black Panther the best lead-in ever would be the understatement of the year with that film essentially supercharging the enthusiasm for Infinity War that added countless dollars to the bottom line,” says box-office analyst Paul Dergarabedian of comScore.
Case in point: Moviegoers created their own Black Panther-Infinity War double feature over the weekend. While most films got pushed to the side by Infinity War, Black Panther moved back up the chart in its 11th weekend from No. 8 to No. 5, something Disney didn’t even anticipate.” [x]
The world is changing. Soon there will only be the conquered and the
conquerors. You are a good man, with a good heart. And it’s hard for a
good man to be a king.
