This highly acclaimed movie has been in the works for some time and the wait is almost over.  Recently a social media troll started a false rumor stating that African-American women would boycott the movie because Michael B. Jordan on of the film’s stars is married to a white woman.  This was a ploy created to stunt the sales of the movie.

Black women are far smarter than that and would not allow something so trivial to stop the success of such an amazing movie.  So, In essence, the Trolls work backfired.

According to current sales, ‘Black Panther’ has already sold more advance tickets in its first 24 hours than any other Marvel movie in history, according to movie ticket site Fandango.
