AMC Theaters in Thousand Oaks, Torrance, Universal City, Woodland Hills, Redondo Beach, Burbank and Arcadia will all screen the film.

The film premiered in Los Angeles on January 29, 2018 and quickly turned into a worldwide phenomenon. Black Panther has gone on to become one of the highest grossing film of all time and the first comic book movie to be nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards.
