Marvel Superhero 'Black Panther' will be seen in the first movie.

In Saudi Arabia, the ban on the three-and-a-half-decade ban will start on April 18. The first movie will be screened for the song concert in King Abdullah Financial District of the capital Riyadh.

A source told news agency Reuters, the first movie would be Marvel's Superhero 'Black Panther'.

Saudi Arabia's State Media SPA said on Wednesday that the country's largest financial fund, the Public Investment Fund (PIF) signed an agreement to showcase the film with an organization called AMC Entertainment Holdings.

The two sides hope to build 40 theaters in 15 cities in Saudi Arabia for the next five years. And in the next seven years 50 to 100 theaters in Saudi cities will be set up.

Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Information Center for International Communication said in a statement that movies will be shown on April 18 in Riyadh.

Adam Aron, chief executive officer of AMC Entertainment Holdings, said in an interview that the first movie will be screened when King Abdullah is made for the song concert in the Financial District. There are 500 skin seats in the main theater. There will be orchestras, hanging porch, marble bathroom More than three screens will be added in mid-summer. This will be the world's most glamorous movie theater.

Saudi Arabia's culture and information minister said in a statement that the launch of the movie will help to enrich the local economy. Expenditure on entertainment will increase in the entertainment sector. Employment will be created.

Movies in Saudi Arabia were displayed in the 1970s. But the country's powerful hardliners stopped it.

In 2017, the country's authorities said they would ban the ban on cinema.

The country is taking this step as part of Saudi Arabia's most discussed economic and social reform program.

However, when the film world opens in Saudi Arabia, Egyptian film critic and event organizer Joseph Fahim does not think the era of freedom of expression will start. In his language, there have been several films and television shows in Saudi. And there are laws in the country that Saudi filmmakers can not name anything related to King's family.
