00:07Black Panther may not hit theaters until next month, but the superhero movie has already broken a record for Marvel Studios.
00:13Ticket site Fandango is reporting that it is the best-selling Marvel Cinematic Universe movie ever in terms of pre-sales after the first 24 hours.
00:22The movie opened for advance ticket sales at the start of the week, and it's already overtaken previous top-seller Captain America Civil War.
00:29That movie, of course, introduced Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa, the Black Panther, to the MCU in the first place.
00:34According to Fandango editor Eric Davis, Black Panther is riding an incredible wave of momentum right now.
00:40He added,
00:48Seriously, though, viewing figures for its first trailer last summer topped numbers for trailers from Captain America Civil War,
00:54Star Wars The Force Awakens, and Rogue One A Star Wars Story.
00:58It immediately became one of the three most-watched Marvel trailers in its first 24 hours.
01:03You get to decide what kind of king you are going to be.
01:11The movie features Lupita Nyong'o and Michael B. Jordan, alongside Boseman.
01:14Earlier this week, a brand-new look at the film debuted Monday during the CFP National Championship,
01:20further helping tide fans over until the movie's February 16th release date.
01:24The TV spot showcased the king of Wakanda's fighting skills and offered new glimpses of
01:29Jordan's villainous character Killmonger.
01:31The footage and this pre-sale news comes as excitement for the film is seriously heating up.
01:35Last week, Kendrick Lamar revealed he will be producing Black Panther the album.
01:39So, will you be seeing Black Panther when it opens on February 16th?
01:43And if so, have you already bought your tickets?
01:45It sounds like if not, you better get on it.
