Currently, the superhero tentpole is selling more than double the amount of tickets
on Fandango that “Black Panther” sold at the same point in the sales cycle. In fact, “Infinity
War” is currently outpacing the last seven Marvel movies combined, including massive titles like
“Thor: Ragnarok,” “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” “Guardian’s of the Galaxy Vol. 2,” and
“Captain America: Civil War.”
The upcoming “Avengers” pic, which opens on April 27, is pacing to be the Fandango’s top
preseller among April releases, as well as the the top superhero preseller in the company’s
history.
“‘Infinity War’ has built up such unprecedented anticipation that it’s pacing to break records, the
likes of which we have never seen before for a superhero movie,” Fandango managing editor
Erik Davis said. “Moviegoers are rushing to guarantee their seats in advance for what is sure to
be one of the most talked-about movies of the decade.”
The film is on track for a heroic $175 million to $200 million opening. Only seven other films in
history have topped $175 million in their debuts and only five have hit the $200 million mark.
Among the superheroes sharing the screen will be Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man, Chris
Hemsworth’s Thor, Chris Evans’ Captain America, Chadwick Boseman’s Black Panther, Chris
Pratt’s Star Lord, Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange, and Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk.

Hopefully this will change the lame trend of movies showing the entire movies in trailers,
because they haven’t released much about Infinity War.

Last Jedi killed my interest in going to the movies. It was that bad. At this point, movie
goers watch the same thing every year no matter how tedious it is.

Tip: See this in IMAX. It’s the first major motion picture to be filmed entirely using
IMAX cameras.
