Marvel Moves Avengers: Infinity War to April 27th

We're talking about the Blu-ray release, not digital.
ManaByte used the 90 day window as reasoning for IW releasing on Blu-ray in August.
Ehh, I feel like I've seen this sort of thinking before with Civil War and Spider-Man. I'm more inclined to think that the BP expanded audience, and more casual superhero filmgoers in general, will see it as just "another Avengers movie" and/or will be intimidated by the (probably mostly accurate) impression that IW requires you to have seen every previous Marvel Studios film.
It should still easily clear a billion, probably over $1.3 billion, but I don't expect it to outgross the first Avengers at this point.
True, true. Guess we'll see. This obviously wasn't a recent decision to move the date up so maybe they announced it today to build hype for a trailer/ticket presales tomorrow.
Well, yeah. I guess you don't get the blu-ray.
But nowadays a digital release is every bit a "home video" release for all intents and purposes.
... yes, but we were talking about the Blu-ray. Like, specifically. :P
its coming out ~2 months after one of the biggest movie phenomenons in recent history and its characters and the settings play a huge role. Black Panther is gonna give it a huge boost
Not gonna lie, half of my excitement for this film has always been due to BP and Wakanda's involvement.
I'm not looking forward to reloading all day for tickets like with TFA and TLJ.
Though I did luck out with those and got dead center back row seats for IMAX. Here's hoping.
They have to at least reveal their 2020 slate this year, right?
Man. The ALL CAPITALS on the word FANTASTIC and the cropped out Avengers logo to make it look like a 4 really made me freak out for a few seconds.
I was so sure that was a hint hint nudge nude kinda deal.
I was so sure that was a hint hint nudge nude kinda deal.
I would assume that GotG3 would get the May 1, 2020 date.
Yeah. I think the general assumption is GOTG3 and Strange 2 for 2020 yeah?
Captain Marvel and The Wasp are both in Avengers 4, but not Infinity War.
So...they announced 6 new Black Panther or Black Panther-related films :P
This basically confirms that "3 movies a year" is now the ongoing plan. This makes it so that there will be three Marvel Studios films every year from 2017 to 2022, at the very least.
I'm praying for another blowout like back in 2014. Actually, that would be where they reveal the A4 title if not at the end of IW
They're going to need some better trailers for this to not feel like just another one of the team up flicks. That first trailer didn't move the needle for me at all.
Actually, I'm going to readjust my thoughts given recent events.
Black Panther 2 - May
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 - July
Doctor Strange 2 - November
I would actually place bets with real money on that.
They don't need to do that as you're kind of... incredibly alone in that opinion. :P
That's way too fast of a turnaround on BP. Only Iron Man and Iron Man 2 had that fast of a turnaround time.
The X-Men movie part of that isn't happening. X-Men films will be part of the "3 a year" from Marvel Studios soon.
Well soon those X-Men movies and Marvel movies will be under the same banner so you'll see fewer of them.
Fast-tracking the BP sequel would be a good idea but I dunno. My dream scenario is the Fox deal gets completed by the end of the year or early 2019. Black Widow in 2020, BP2 Summer 2021.
But I'm not gonna try to predict any unannounced stuff now, so much could shift around once the Fox deal goes through.
With those new dates through 2022 showing 3 movies per year, I suspect there will be a 4th slot added starting in 2021/2022 for F4 and X-Men and other Fox-related characters. There will be less general Marvel movies each year, with one more Marvel Studios film to fit in the newcomers.
Fantastic Four in late 2021 - 60th Anniversary makes it almost too perfect.
... Never mind, I would not place bets. I was thinking it was 2017 for some reason.
I'm tired.
I guess, I just don't know how hyped regular moviegoers are going to get over another big battle movie starting some enormous purple jellybean that popped up a few times not doin' much.
I really see BP beating this domestically.
I feel like May 2021.
Black Panther is now an official "summer movie season opener" series now, which is crazy.
