Advance reviews are red hot, and Black Panther is also killing it in advance ticket sales, according to Fandango. In fact, it’s beating all other superhero movies in advance sales, beating the previous winner 2016’s “Batman v Superman.”
Anyone paying attention to the buzz – and the trailers – knows that Ryan Coogler’s film doens’t just look sharp, it seems to be a new kind of Marvel movie. And audiences seem ready for it. According to a news release:
