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:
And..........
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
