Avengers: Infinity War
 

I am sure you are all getting hyped for Infinity War. Every time I go to the cinema they show you a trailer for it and I get excited. A new trailer has been released this afternoon:

Odeon have got the tickets up for advanced booking already and there is a midnight premiere. It is probably something to do with the fact that Black Panther is racking is $$$ and they are expecting Infinity War to do even better. There is no sign of a triple bill yet though.

It certainly looks good General.:tu:

Re: Avengers: Infinity War
 

This might be old news because I am 2 issues behind in my SFX reading but it has been officially confirmed that they are making a Black Widow movie and it will be coming out in phase 4.

Re: Avengers: Infinity War
 

Re: Avengers: Infinity War
 

Got my ticket booked for the 27th April.

Looking forward to it. Although I am also excited to see Ant-Man and the Wasp later in the year.

Re: Avengers: Infinity War
 

yeah they pushed that back, it is around 3rd August now. If you are into your Deadpool that has been brought forward from the end of May to the 16th ish.

Re: Avengers: Infinity War
 

Re: Avengers: Infinity War
 

I can't tell you how excited I am about this. It is killing me thinking that it is all going to be over in a couple of weeks.

Re: Avengers: Infinity War
 

General believe me, I would never have thought for a moment you were so excited. You could have given us some clues!

Now be a good boy and sit down and be patient.

Re: Avengers: Infinity War
 

I have decided to do my own movie marathon. I have seen the more recent films like Guardians and Dr Strange loads at the cinema when they came out but I haven't seen Iron Man 1 and 2 since they did the triple bill for Iron Man 3 and the same for Caotain America. They didn't do a triple bill for Ragnarok so the last time I saw I saw Thor 1 and 2 was when 2 came out. I have got 16 films to watch in 10 days and I am going to try and get it just right so I can go to the cinema Tuesday evening so I can see Black Panther again before Infinity War on Wednesday.

Re: Avengers: Infinity War
 

I don't normally go into the nitty gritty details of films and don't like to know everything that goes on behind the scenes but every now and again when something magical comes along I like to get to know the people behind it. I did it with the prequel trilogy for Star Wars and signed up to the exclusive fan service where you got the behind the scenes documentaries and featurettes online and watched a tonne of interviews with George Lucas, Rick Berman and John Knoll for example and I have been looking more into Marvel recently. I have been ploughing through all the films over the last week or so and I have only got Spiderman and Ragnarok left to watch tomorrow. When you watch the films you keep seeing the same producers names etc come up in the credits such as Kevin Feige and I keep asking myself "who is this guy and what kind of person is he that he has been able to plan and coordinate this massive franchise and amazing stories over the last 10 years?". I was just poking around on youtube and this three part interview popped up on my recommended list which he has done for Infinity War and reflects on the last 10 years and the evolution of the MCU.

Re: Avengers: Infinity War
 

I am going to make a prediction. I think Infinity War is going to break the record for highest opening weekend ever and first week. I don't think it is going to beat Avatar as highest grossing film of all time but I definitely think it is going to hit the $2 billion mark and take the No 4 spot from Jurassic World. This is where things currently stand atm.


Over the last 10 years or so I have been to tonnes of midnight premieres at my Odeon for various films, some standalone and some franchise, and they are normally shown in anything between 1 and 4 screens at my 9 screen Odeon. I knew The Last Jedi was going to be big last year because for the first time ever it was in 6 screens at midnight and the reason why I think Infinity War is going to be huge is because it is in 7 screens and they are pretty much sold out. The two remaining screens it isn't in are tiny so the cinema is pretty much going to be at capacity tonight which I am sure will be the first time ever. There isn't much between the $2 billion mark, TFA and Titanic so if Infinity War can get there I would love to see it take the No.2 spot behind Avatar and the icing on the cake will be if it breaks the records for the fastest film to get there. Can it do it in 4 weeks?

Re: Avengers: Infinity War
 

I think you may be pleasantly surprised General.

Re: Avengers: Infinity War
 

I knew Feige was in charge of the whole Marvel series.

My ticket is booked for Friday.

Re: Avengers: Infinity War
 

Absolutely superb film in so many ways. You can read my spoiler free thoughts here. If you don't and all you read is this, take my friendly advice and make sure you stay right till the very end of the credits for the post credit scene.

Re: Avengers: Infinity War
 

Seeing it at 1pm Vue IMAX 3D - really looking forward to it.

Re: Avengers: Infinity War
 

nice, should look awesome, SFX said it is the first film to ever be filmed entirely on some super duper new IMAX camera.

Re: Avengers: Infinity War
 

I'm booked for 10pm on Sunday.

Re: Avengers: Infinity War
 

ouch, have a sleep after tea because it is 3 hours including ads and trailers so you are looking at a 1am finish

Re: Avengers: Infinity War
 

So SPOILERS!!

Re: Avengers: Infinity War
 

Putting the story aside and spoilers, you can also put future movies into the equation. We know we are going to get another Guardians, Black Panther, Doctor Strange and Spderman movie so i assume all those characters are safe. There arent going to be anymore Iron Man, Thor or Captain America movies so those characters are potentially expendable. That being said (not giving any spoilers away), i am wondering whether the first major character to be popped off will make a come back in Part 2 and you know why i am thinking it.

Re: Avengers: Infinity War
 

Nice, it will be fantastic if it can get to $1bn by the end of the week. It is a shame they couldnt get it released in China at the same time because it probably would have come close to $1bn this weekend.

Re: Avengers: Infinity War
 

I couldn't get a ticket this weekend, I feel like I have to see it in IMAX, but was that desperate I started searching 2D showings and even those were booked. Got 5 days off after tomorrow so gonna get in on a morning viewing sometime during the week.

Re: Avengers: Infinity War
 

Watch it in 3d and go for premiere seats so you are center screen. I have just had a look at the Metrocenter in Gateshead for you and there are loads of seats free for the 3d imax performance at 13:30 on Tuesday. Don't forget your popcorn.

Re: Avengers: Infinity War
 

Ugh, I hate 3D.

Interesting end, one that obviously cannot remain as is - given the sequals already in the pipeline.

I'm guessing the 1 in 14 million outcomes where they (ultimately) win is a little more complex that first thought.

I stayed for the post credits scene, but didnt really understand it as that symbol on the pager thing meant nothing to me (yes, Ive since looked it up).

Re: Avengers: Infinity War
 

Oddly though that Character logo, the movie for them is actually set in the 90s so will be clearly done to introduce her for whatever is next.

Re: Avengers: Infinity War
 

I love stuff like this and I think it is great that they have got the cast in on it to really tease us and wind us up

Re: Avengers: Infinity War
 

I thought this was an Infinity Wars thread?

Re: Avengers: Infinity War
 

It is. The Infinity War cast need your help and want to know where Ant-man is. Things might have gone differently if he was there.

Re: Avengers: Infinity War
 

loved the movie thought it had some brilliant bits like Rocket and Winter Soldier, such a shame that MCU already announced which characters would get another movie as would have liked it if they kept us in suspense on that.

Hopefully the Chinese will add another $500 million to it.

Re: Avengers: Infinity War
 

Yeah that's the bit that confused me too. Then again, it seems to be sticking quite well to the source material minus the licencing issues (Sony/Fox/Disney) So anyone that's read the source probably has a good idea what happens next.

Re: Avengers: Infinity War
 

I thought it was ok, however even though the film was 2 1/2 hours I felt it didn't do justice to some of the characters given their ability in their own films to save the world and beat the bad guys and didn't give them enough credit or explore what they can do as a hero themselves. I felt it a bit rushed but I guess you are time limited when you have a mass of super heroes.

Looking forward to the next one though

Re: Avengers: Infinity War
 

It has just hit the $2bn mark and took the No 4 spot for highest grossing movie of all time. Another $67 million and it will take the No 3 spot from The Force Awakens.

Re: Avengers: Infinity War
 

Disney right now:

Re: Avengers: Infinity War
 

True, and there will be even more of it when Incredibles 2 comes out. I think it is going to clear $1bn no problem.

Re: Avengers: Infinity War
 

I went to see if for the very last time today. Technically today was the last showing but I am sure it will come back at the end of July for the school summer hols, it would be silly not to because I don't think there is anything else on apart from Incredibles 2 and Ant-man and the Wasp. At the moment it is $35 million behind Star Wars Ep7 for the No 3 spot of highest grossing film of all time.
