#2I would assume it’s because the Mulan live action remake is also releasing that weekend. Black panther was extremely popular and they don’t wanna compete with themselves on the critical opening weekend.

My assumption was that they wanted to cash in on the renewed interest with Disney+.

It's not a first run theater. They don't typically block that segment based on the first run segment.

Mulan is straight to streaming though, so it does compete in terms of eyeballs. If folks are preoccupied with a BP screening they may not have time or want to also watch Mulan in the same weekend.

When you own everything and everyone, like Disney, you don't have to read the room.

#8Disney didn't "stop" theaters from screening Black Panther this past/upcoming weekend. Like most Disney films, it's not available for second-run showings.
It's long-standing Disney policy, and has effected films from the Fox film archives as well. (https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/20...)

#9I was hoping that they were reneging from their racist decision to have an almost entirely black cast and crew, but this makes more sense.
(edit: I'm probably wrong here, see gamblor956's comment. Leaving it here so others can learn from it)

Maybe so, but they could have made an exception.
