Former FLASHPOINT Director Throws Shade At JUSTICE LEAGUE As BLACK PANTHER Crushes It At The Box Office
In a matter of days, Black Panther has already made more at the North American box office than Justice League did during its entire run. Now, former Flashpoint helmer Rick Famuyiwa has poked fun at that!
Over the course of 91 days, Justice League made a total of $228 million at the North American box office. Black Panther, meanwhile, has already doubled the DC Comics adaptation's opening and has surpassed the figure above after a little over four days. That's obviously an embarrassment to Warner Bros. but one person who appears to be enjoying that is former Flashpoint director Rick Famuyiwa.
He parted ways with the studio quite some time ago over "creative differences" and Flashpoint should have been released next month had that situation not played out the way it did. Clearly, the filmmaker isn't happy about that or he's just excited that such a diverse movie has done so well this weekend.
If you don't think he is throwing shade at Justice League here, though, pay attention to the emojis he's used because those are clearly a reference to the meme of Kermit the Frog driving tea (that's used in a lot of different ways so we'll leave it up to you to try and interpret its meaning here). Were you glad to see Black Panther find more success than Justice League? Weigh in with your thoughts down below.
