More people have tweeted about 'Black Panther' than any other movie, ever
Wakanda forever (and ever and ever).
In addition to blowing away audiences around the world and logging broken record after broken record at the box office, Black Panther is also a pretty big deal on social media. In fact, it's the most tweeted-about movie in Twitter's history.
The stat comes straight from the social media company itself, which notes that Marvel's Wakanda adventure has clocked 35 million tweets and counting. Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Avengers: Infinity War were #2 and #3, respectively, among the top-tweeted movies of 2018.
But let's keep the focus on the king: Black Panther is the most tweeted-about movie ever.
Chadwick Boseman's Black Panther character got the most attention in tweets, followed by Michael B. Jordan's Erik Killmonger, then Letitia Wright's (future queen) Shuri. On the emoji front, Twitter's "fire" emoji is the one most closely associated with the movie, followed by the black heart emoji, then the crown emoji.
Then there's the big stat you're probably still wondering about: Which of those 35 million (and counting) tweets were the biggest? Twitter has an answer for that, too.
The third-most popular tweet (yes, we're doing it like this) came from former FLOTUS Michelle Obama. Surely you remember. It was everywhere. So were the next two, obviously.

The second-most popular tweet wasn't a celebrity moment; it was just a magically viral video clip that captivated the internet for an entire weekend and then some. The Perfect Tweet served as an incredible illustration of the lengths people were willing to go to for this tremendous movie.
