Black Panther will end the ban on movie distribution in Saudi Arabia
"Black Panther" will be the first movie to be shown on big screens in Saudi Arabia after the 35-year ban on public screening of movies has been lifted. This is reported by the Variety edition. The grandiose gala premiere will take place on April 18, 2018 in the capital of the kingdom. The first 600 spectators will be able to enjoy the Marvel comic adaptation in a luxurious room with marble balconies and leather chairs. The world's largest theater network AMC Entertainment plans to open 40 cinemas in Saudi Arabia in the next five years and bring their number to 100 by 2030. Experts are confident that in the coming years Saudi Arabia will become one of the most fast-growing and promising movie markets, as 70 percent of the kingdom's population is under 30. In total, the country is home to more than 32 million people. Recall that the ban on showing movies was introduced in 1980 after the approval of the Saudi Arabian authorities of ultra-conservative religious standards. The reigning monarch's readiness to lift this ban was announced in December 2017. The Black Panther movie has become one of the highest-grossing movie projects in the history of American and world box office.
