Use quotation marks around the title of the film. Ex. " Black Panther" to ensure all words are found close together and your search results yield article about the movie.

If you do not place your movie title in quotes you are more likely to see articles with the mention of the word Black or the mention of the word Panther randomly in your search results that do pertain to the movie "Black Panther".
