Huh? Why would anyone say your comments are racist? Sensitive much? People are making estimates based on presales and normal opening box office figured for similar genre films. We'll all see in a couple of weeks.

In any escapist fantasy, there have to be conditions and characters that one wishes to experience, vicariously. Are they present in B.P.?

And what conditions and characters or kinds of conditions and characters are those, jetgraphics?

Taking a look at jetgraphics other posts, I doubt he'll engage in any constructive way.

Definitely encouraging.

Pre hype is off the charts, great reviews, huge box office predicted.

Definitely want to see it now.

Proof that movie reviews can make a huge difference, and why some studios refuse to screen movies before official release.

Sometimes I love the way that 10 year olds slip through City Data's eligibility and are able to get on the boards and post.

I'd be very interested in how Africans view the movie. I'm wary that it may be an American's (white or black) view of what an advanced African empire should be rather than an African's view of what an advanced African empire should be.

It's safe to say part of the script drew from Christopher Priest's Black Panther (Vol. 3) run in the late '90s. Killmonger and Everett Ross were among the cast.

Yeah, but in general, the world that we live in is westernized, therefore, there doesn't look there's any other standard to compare advancement, modernness, and technology:

Top 10 Most Technologically Advanced Countries in Africa

Top 5 Most Advanced Cities in Africa

That doesn't mean there aren't Africans with imagination.
