With help from data lifted from Box Office Mojo, the movie platform ‘Shadow & Act’ has revealed the official ‘Top 20 Grossing Black Movies of 2016.’

The official definition of a black movie?

One that tells a story about a black person (or black people), regardless of who tells it. It is primarily through his/her/their eyes and experiences that the story unfolds.
