Oscar-nominated Black Panther returns to the big screen next month and screenings at 250 AMC theaters will be free for a week in honor of Black History Month. Details on how to get tickets between Feb. 1 and Feb. 7 are available here. The movie is up for a Best Picture statuette at the Academy Awards on Feb. 24. “Black Panther is groundbreaking for many reasons, including the rich diversity of voices behind its success,” Disney CEO Bob Iger said in a statement announcing the freebies and a $1.5 million donation to the United Negro College Fund. “The story also showcases the power of knowledge to change the world for the better, and the importance of ensuring everyone has access to it.” Or, in other words, Wakanda forever.
