Marvel Entertainment's "Black Panther" shattering box office records. The movie generated the biggest Monday for ticket sales ever. Essence Digital Content Director Yolanda Sangweni explains the impact this film's success is having on Hollywood.
"I think it shows how the future is multi-cultural. I think this film really shattered any ideas that we had about what a super hero has to look like," says Sangweni. "More people of color are going to the movies, and we want to see ourselves on screen."
A new Ava Duvernay directed film "A Wrinkle in Time" premieres March 9th. "I think we are all going to show up for A Wrinkle in Time the same way we did for Black Panther," says Sangweni.
Stocks dipped Friday morning after the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury crossed 5% for the first time in 16 years and also following Fed Chair Jerome Powell's remarks on Thursday.
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said Thursday that inflation remains too high and that bringing it down to the Fed's target level will likely require a slower-growing economy and job market.
