Michelle Obama ‘loves’ Black Panther and so do the rest of us…

MICHELMichelle Obama has sent congratulations to the makers of Black Panther after a weekend that saw the superhero film rack up blockbuster box-office takings.

I loved this movie,” wrote the former First Lady on Monday.

“Because of you, young people will finally see superheroes that look like them on the big screen,” she said.

And it seems she’s not alone in loving the movie – with box office takings far higher than anticipated.

Revised studio estimates put its US and Canada grosses over the four-day President’s Day weekend at more than $235m (£168m).

That’s miles ahead of the $120m (£86m) the film was predicted to take over the same period as recently as last month.

Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins joined Mrs Obama in celebrating the film’s achievement.
