‘Black Panther’ Returning to AMC Theaters For a Week of Free Showings

So now you have no excuse not to load up the mini-van with as many kids as you can safely carry. You can't fit twice as many if you are not one of those seat belt Nazis. Just saying. A quick stop at the dollar store and five dollars for each kid will allow them to fill up on candy which is one of the best reasons for going to the movies in the first place.

I hope the theatres are full every night not because it's free (it's free online too) but because it's a GOOD superhero movie that I myself watched ten times in the first week I had my screener. That is almost a Zootopia level of love (which I watched 13 times). I was keeping count. And there are maybe ten movies from the entire history of movies that I will ever watch more than two times.



Tickets are free for everyone, and there will be two showings per day at each participating theater. Disney will also give a $1.5 million grant to support the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) in furthering its mission to help minority students access and move to and through college.

Disney made the announcement Monday on the heels of “Black Panther” winning the SAG Award for cast in a motion picture. “Black Panther” grossed $700 million in North American box office and another $647 million internationally.

“‘Black Panther’ is groundbreaking for many reasons, including the rich diversity of voices behind its success,” said Bob Iger, chairman and chief executive officer. “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.”
