Saudi Arabia's 35-year cinema ban ends today with Black Panther screening
"Event will be followed by a rush to build up to 40 AMC cinemas across the country"
Today's screening is an invitation-only affair, but it isn't being held at an embassy. This is important because movies contain depictions of humans, which some people in the Middle East say is a sin... including, until recently, the rulers of Saudi Arabia.
Also according to that article, it looks like women will be allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia later this year.
