Black History Month To Be Celebrated with Free Black Panther Screenings
BLACK PANTHER TO ENTER THEATERS?
Beginning this end of the week, Black Panther will enter theatres with the expectation of free screens for seven days, thanks to another association between The Walt Disney Company and AMC Theaters. As per an official statement disseminated today, more than 250 venues in the chain will take an interest for the primary week of February.
Here is a fan made trailer of Black Panther 2:
Disney supervisor Robert Iger said they would like to inspire future ages by giving free screenings of the widely praised hit.
WHAT BOB IGER SAYS:
“‘Black Panther’ is groundbreaking for many reasons, including the rich diversity of voices behind its success,” Iger said in a statement. “The story also showcases the power of knowledge to change the world for the better, and the importance of ensuring everyone has access to it. We’re proud to provide thousands of free screenings of ‘Black Panther’ in hopes it will continue to inspire audiences, and to support UNCF with a $1.5 million grant to make the dream of higher education a reality for more students.”
More than giving free tickets — which are accessible here — Disney is giving $1.5 million to the United Negro College Fund (UNCF), the biggest minority association in the nation.
UNITED NEGRO COLLEGE FUND Acknowledges:
“We know that providing aspiring young minority talent with scholarships and professional development opportunities is vital to making their dreams a reality,” UNCF President and CEO Dr. Michael Lomax said. “UNCF is grateful for The Walt Disney Company’s enduring commitment to expanding these types of opportunities, and we’re excited to continue to do so through our Walt Disney Company/UNCF Corporate Scholars Program.
I recall the excitement we all had when ‘Black Panther’ was first released and it’s fantastic that Disney is bringing the record-breaking movie back to the big screen so that we can relive that excitement. Wakanda Forever!”
Ticket availability is accessible through WeTicketIt.com, so you’ll need to guide your browser to the site to check whether a theater close you is taking an interest.
In the wake of winning the best cast award at last night’s SAG Awards, the cast and team of Black Panther plan to prepare for the 91st Academy Awards later next month. With everything taken into account, the film is named for seven awards, including leaving a mark on the world as the first-ever superhero film nominated for Best Picture.
