'Black Panther' is Coming Back to Theaters FOR FREE | No Film School

Black Panther has made $1,346,913,161 at the box office since it opened. And that's enough for Disney. This week they announced that they're taking the movie back to theaters. And the price of admission is FREE.

As you know, we're big fans of Black Panther. I think there's a lot to glean from reading the script, checking out the costumes, and even watching the Behind The Scenes elements.

So we suggest that you get in line from February 1st - 7th for the Academy Award nominee and SAG winner to celebrate Black History Month. 250 participating AMC Theatres locations will screen the film twice daily. While you don't have to pay for tickets, you do have to register for them. So you can't just pop up to see the movie any time.

Disney has also decided to give a $1.5 million grant to support UNCF (United Negro College Fund) in furthering its mission to ensure access to college for minority students.

Disney CEO Bob Iger shared these thoughts:

“Black Panther is groundbreaking for many reasons, including the rich diversity of voices behind its success...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."

This move continues the cast and crew's mission for community action. Ryan Coogler visited the Ghetto Film School in Los Angeles to help inspire kids to get into filmmaking and give a broader perspective to Hollywood.

And last year, Disney donated $1 million to help develop STEM programs in the U.S. Disney gave the grant to Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA), a nonprofit organization that offers young people support and essential skills to help them reach their full potential.

Shuri would be very proud.

What's the Hype With 'Interstellar' Revisiting Cinemas After a Decade in 70mm IMAX?

Here's Why You Need to Revisit 'Interstellar' in 70mm IMAX

Celebrate the love and hope at the center of Nolan's space epic in the format it was meant to be seen.

If we know anything about Christopher Nolan, he likes to go big. Nolan started with smaller-scale stories (as many of us do) with early noir adjacent works like Following, Memento, and Insomnia, then started going and staying big with his illusionist drama The Prestige. Since then, the scale has been various degrees of massive, with the biggest scope in his time-and-space sprawling epic, Interstellar.

While Interstellarmight not be everyone's favorite Nolan outing, there's no denying it's an impressive feat of filmmaking and his most emotional—if watching Matthew McConaughey's Cooper desperately try to reach his family through quantum space-time doesn't make you cry at least a little bit, what's going on, dude?

With Interstellar'sIMAX release, it's a great time to shed some tears in a public setting in one of the most prestigious film formats around. As we mentioned in our film gauge piece, Nolan loves shooting on film and utilizes 65mm intentionally to provoke a tone of massive scale. In that regard, Interstellar was made for 70mm IMAX. That goes without saying, dawg. That being said, other factors make Interstellar a perfect movie to revisit in theaters while you can.

Let's break down the release further below.
