It's on track to compete with Star Wars if Sunday numbers are included.

I went with friends last night, and worked a re-up last minute into some date-night plans tonight. Half the group I went with last night mentioned trying to see it again before the weekend was over.

The commercial viability of this film is such an important statement. We're speaking very loudly with our dollars here re: the diversity of faces and stories and depth and dignity we're craving when it comes to black people in (mainstream) cinema.
