‘Black Panther’ Pre-Sales Topping All Previous Superhero Movies

Continued here:

Source: Getty / Getty Although it seemed like the time would never come, we are now just a few weeks away from the highly-anticipated premiere of Black Panther . With fans already planning their outfit choices and pre-game plans for the film’s premiere, the pre-sale tickets are breaking records with each passing day. #BlackPanther Fandango pre-sales outpacing all superhero movies https://t.co/EmDY0OMjTq — Variety (@Variety) January 31, 2018 Per Variety , movie tickets website Fandango is reporting that the anticipation for Black Panther has reached a relative frenzy, as pre-sales for the film are topping all previous superhero movies. In late January it was projected that Black Panther could see an opening weekend within the $100-$120 million range. Early reviews have been stellar, which is likely one reason for such record-breaking advanced sales. Via Variety: Disney-Marvel’s “Black Panther” is outpacing all superhero movies in advance ticket sales for Fandango’s online tickets service, eclipsing 2016’s “Batman v Superman.” Fandango reported Wednesday that “Black Panther” had topped daily ticket sales in the wake of its world premiere and first screenings on Monday night — even though it doesn’t open in theaters until Feb. 16. According to a Fandango survey of more than 1,000 “Black Panther” moviegoers: 97% are looking forward to a different kind of superhero movie; 95% look forward to the film’s positive messages; 93% said they couldn’t wait to see Chadwick Boseman in his own “Black Panther” movie after seeing him in “Captain America: Civil War;” 86% are excited to see the film’s all-female guards/warriors, the Dora Milaje; and 85% are intrigued by the film’s exotic setting in the mythical African kingdom of Wakanda. “The buzz on ‘Black Panther’ is electric,” Fandango managing editor Erik Davis said. “Early screening audiences say it is one of Marvel’s best movies ever, and the positive word-of-mouth is helping drive the movie’s spectacular advance ticket sales.” With a Hollywood premiere that was full of #BlackExcellence coupled with the official start of Black History Month, expect those opening weekend projections to be a little off because Black Panther will likely have a higher opening weekend profit than currently predicted. We at HB certainly can’t wait to get our tickets and see the magic for ourselves!   Check out today’s Top Stories here: Ex-NBA Player Rasual Butler And Wife, Singer Leah LaBelle, Killed In Car Crash Reclaiming Her Time!

SiriBAE Season: Kofi Siriboe Covers ESSENCE’s December Issue

For your viewing pleasure… Kofi Siriboe And Maxine Waters Cover ESSENCE It’s officially SiriBAE season. Kofi Siriboe is covering ESSENCE’s new December 2017/January 2018 double issue alongside U.S. Congresswoman Maxine Waters. In it, Kofi speaks on his heritage, “Girls Trip” where he appeared in that infamous grapefruit scene, as well as “Jump”, the debut project he wrote, directed and starred in. Kofi was interviewed by his on-screen dad and veteran actor Glynn Turman for the cover. On success after “Girls Trip” and the grapefruit scene: TURMAN:“…Your popularity soared with Girls Trip which grossed more than $125 million. After my wife and I saw it and we came home, I’m watching TV and she stood in the doorway and said, ‘Try this!’ with a grapefruit in her hand. Were you surprised by how well the film performed?” SIRIBOE: [Laughs] “I’m always surprised because you never know. I remember thinking, Ohhh, so this is the movie we’re making? Got it. We had a good time…” On his heritage: “In first grade I was asked ‘What’s your favorite food?’ I said, ‘Fufu,’ and everybody laughed. I also remember asking my teacher not to say my full name, Nana-Kofi [Nana means ‘son of kings’]. Last year I went to Kumasi, in Ghana, for the first time and met the king, whose real name is Nana.” “I didn’t always understand the roots that are woven into my name, but that realization is happening now.” In addition to covering ESSENCE, Kofi was named one of People magazine’s “Most Beautiful People.” SiriBAE season indeed.

Stacey Dash Backpedals On Calling Maxine Waters A ‘Buffoon’

Source: Amanda Edwards / Getty Stacey Dash really screwed up when she called California Rep. Maxine Waters a “buffoon.” The Clueless actress made the comments following Waters’ award acceptance speech at  Black Girls Rock.  Dash tweeted, “This is how you spin a corrupt media buffoon sucking up her late in life 15 mins.” This is how you spin a corrupt media buffoon sucking up her late in life 15 minutes: https://t.co/PY1N5GgxuQ — Stacey Dash (@REALStaceyDash) August 24, 2017 Dash got dragged across the Twitter streets and she mocked the backlash by saying if she was to take back any name calling, should would take away Maxine Water’s title of “Warrior of Truth.” Ok. I digress. I should not name call. She's NOT A WARRIOR OF TRUTH. — Stacey Dash (@REALStaceyDash) August 24, 2017 Well, now in a turn of events, Dash says it was not her that made the original tweet. Then who could it be? A hacker? The “Kremlin Klan”? Bill O’Reily back from “vacation?  No. According to Dash, it was her intern. Let me clarify that an intern wrongly used “buffoon” in a recent tweet on @RepMaxineWaters . I don't need to be disrespectful to disagree. — Stacey Dash (@REALStaceyDash) August 25, 2017 Hmm, so your intern took the time to log into your Twitter account, search for the BET.com link and craft the word “buffoon” into their tweet? Also, you have an intern? Is life that busy for Dash now that she’s no longer at Fox News? And does this intern feel so empowered that they write tweets without checking with their boss? Okay, Stacey. Maxine Waters has yet to respond to Dash’s tweets — probably because she has bigger fish to fry, like trying to save our country.

Source: Tommaso Boddi / Getty After being dragged to hell and back on Twitter for calling  Congresswoman Maxine Waters a “media buffoon,” Stacey Dash is now doing some serious backtracking. The fired FOX news talking head claims it was her intern who sent the out-of-pocket Tweet in response to Waters inspirational speech on BET’s Black Girls Rock awards . Remember, the 79-year-old told the crowd, “ I know I’m simply a strong black woman. I am you and you are me. We have power, we have influence, we can do things others have told us we can’t do. I don’t care how big you are, I don’t care how high you think you are.
