Early reviews for Marvel's Black Panther attempted to inform audiences that they would be in for a rare cinematic treat but it's likely the average moviegoer was still unprepared for how good Ryan Coogle's Marvel Cinematic Universe debut would turn out.
Early tracking for the film estimated a $100M USD opening weekend which grew to $150M, early screening reactions ballooned that figure to $165M, then $180M, then $200M and now...$230M+ domestically.
Black Panther arrives in a time when many expect the "founding fathers" of the MCU- Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, and Chris Hemsworth to ride off into the sunset after Avengers 4. Given the box office response, it's very likely that Chadwick Boseman's T'Challa just might become the face of the franchise moving forward. In celebration of the film's colossal debut, here are some of the top reactions and highlights from the Twittersphere.
