'Black Panther': Fans Around the Country Dress for Opening Night

Fans noted in social media posts it was important for them to dress in a way that befitted a film heralded as a cultural movement.

Excitement and anticipation for the Ryan Coogler picture are at a boiling point: The film is projected to open to $165 million-plus and could become the biggest launch ever for a Marvel Cinematic Universe hero's first stand-alone movie.

Check out some of the outfits below:
