>Avengers: Infinity War is destroying every advanced ticket sales record in its wake, including a unique one for AMC Theaters. Directed by Captain America directing duo Anthony and Joe Russo, and based on a script from longtime Marvel scribes Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, Avengers 3 marks the beginning of the end of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s first core saga, which has grown exponentially since Robert Downey Jr. took his first flight as Iron Man a decade ago.
>AMC Theaters reveals that Avengers: Infinity War has surpassed every other superhero movie by amassing the most advanced tickets sold within its first 72 hours of release (this past weekend for Infinity War, since tickets went on sale on Friday). While AMC didn’t provide exact numbers, they did say that Infinity War‘s advanced tickets sold within its first 72 hours were 257.6 percent higher than Black Panther, 715.5 percent higher than Captain America: Civil War, and 1106.5 percent higher than Avengers: Age of Ultron – all of which were determined by their first 72 hours of release as well.
>Even though tickets only just went on sale, Avengers 3 already broke Fandango’s pre-sale tickets record for superhero movies within its first six hours, a record that was previously held by Black Panther. And considering just how successful Black Panther was over its opening weekend, the sky’s the limit for Avengers: Infinity War. So far, it’s expected to have the MCU’s best opening weekend with over $215 million – but that might be the low-end of the spectrum.
>So it isn't Superhero movies dying, just garbage DCEU ones. Good to know. >So don't let and DChump retards tell you otherwise when Teen Titans Go and Aquaman become the two biggest bombs of the year What about the Non-Big 2 movies?
That's why Superman Returns was such a massive success
Landon Young
Sad thing is WB could be making serious cash if they're weren't so incompetent with DC material. Now no one will care that Darkseid, Brainiac, or Anti Monitor might happen
Xavier Adams
How will Snyderfags ever recover?
All this proves is that the Superhero genre hasn't peaked, it's just getting started, unless its DC in which case you're beyond salvation.
Carson Morgan
Superman Returns was the proto-Snyder Superman. An autistic deadbeat Dad who mopes through the entire fucking movie.
It's incredible to me that the failure of Superman Returns wasn't a clear warning to the studio to CUT THAT SHIT OUT.
Marvel got the message when they made Hulk a howling edge-monster and audiences gave no fucks.
they should give it 15 years to reboot but you know they'll give it less than 5
Oliver Fisher
I'm a bit frustrated that Disney is going to earn a billion dollars featuring a Darkseid ripoff, while WB hands us a New Gods movie already off to a bad start
Evan Ward
>Ladderbro talks to himself
Christopher Reed
Returns' problem was that it had a major identity crisis trying to be the Donner films. Also it was just boring outside of a few scenes
Anthony Cox

Julian Morales

Benjamin Sullivan
Returns tried to be a Richard Lester continuation, not a Donner revival. That's where it went astray.
Nathaniel Jones
All I'm saying is ever since that Batman story time thread it's felt like a forced annoying boogeyman
Wyatt Ramirez
I only name-fagged as Ladderbro for a couple of months, YEARS ago, and yet I managed to do permanent damage to this guy's butthole.
Brody Lopez
It is, I've never lurked in Batman storytime threads. Anyone who dislikes a DC product is his bogeyman.
Dylan Nguyen
>that Batman story time thread Dude. What would Ladderbro do in a comic book thread? See >Ladderbro feels proud of his achievements in life Yep, seem. >name-fagged as Ladderbro for YEARS FTFY
Austin Green
Nah, I namefagged in Comic shelf threads for a little while when all my books were on ladder-style shelving. This REEEEEEEing imbecile (who I like to call Stillwell) has been fagging for Snyder since Man of Steel opened (has it been 4 years?), and he's been given PTSD by the ensuing company wars.
Which ended up being more of a Crush video than actual war footage.
Carson Gray
>Ladderbro became the biggest Marlel shill ever >blames others for the consequences of his decision Oh well. >Stillwell Did he appear in any Marvel movie? I remember him from the 1980s Avengers runs.
Tyler Allen
Who is this Ladderbro?
Eli Rodriguez
He only gets me right about 1 in 10 times, or when I make it easy and re-use some images.
Anyways, I'm off, gotta drop off my Blu Ray of JUSTice League at my old folk's house.
>Mfw I have 15 pre-ordered tickets to Infinity War for my various pals, 5 in Imax.
>implying some faggot is hopping Denny's just to spite you the absolute state of DCUfags
Hunter Evans
>sells a Blu-Ray for the price of 15 tickets >to his parents Man, that's so ethically reprehensible.
>still pretending to read comics Whose is that shelf this time?
Chase White
Factually I wish I were the Evansposter, that guy was always pretty damn amusing. You really DO think everyone who dislikes Snyder is the same guy, that's sad and adorable.
>Alfred pics I guess you couldn't leave without leaving some, my good Ladderbro.
Nicholas Morgan
>sells a Blu-Ray for the price of 15 tickets >to his parents Are you still rational? And we went through this before, I timestamped my large shelf and you went fetal. Good times.
>collecting movies only because they're based in comics Fucking casuals.
I love bookshops too. Just a yellow note et voila! Bitches think I'm a comic book connoisseur.
Jace Bennett
See you in the next anti-DC thread!
Brayden Barnes
>love bookshops too. Just a yellow note et voila! Bitches think I'm a comic book connoisseur. Most bookstores would have duplicates though.
Grayson Rivera
They keep them in storage.
Jack Harris
Implying Aquaman won't kick it's ass at the box office. SAD!
David King
Already back, Ladderbro?
Angel Torres
No, just stating the obvious that fatigue is real but people WILL give a chance to risky projects like Aquaman.
Jordan Barnes
>fatigue is real THAT'S A EVANSPOSTIN' if it wasn't a bannable offense
Benjamin Roberts

Ian Carter

Kayden Ortiz
What about compared to Avatar ??????????
Parker Bell
dc == chinese knock-off though, if you disagree you are a loser, user
Nathan Jackson
Returns had issue but it had heart and the idea of superman right. I feel act 1 and 3 were good just terribly stitched together
Christopher Butler
Hello again, Ladderbro!
Good comparison. IW is the new Avatar; makes zillions and is promptly forgotten later.
Michael Long
>only 10 years later people have surely forgotten about superheroes, AMIRITE?
Parker Williams
Do you see any of that people following Marvel superheroes? No you don't.
Isaac Rogers
Marvel's characters=new hotness DC's big characters=old and busted overpowered dinosaurs from a bygone era that should be put out to pasture
No wonder DC has to resort to such gimmicks to get people to care about their comics.
Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superman are cultural icons in North America up there with Santa, Jesus and Dracula. People might not know much about them, but they'll know who they are. Their movies and comics will generally make some money, but that doesn't mean they have a good chance of being universally praised or even well liked.
Dracula is a great example comparison, movies with him don't make lots of money just because people know who the character is. There's a difference between saying everybody knows who it is, and everybody cares, and people who defend Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman seem to often confuse the two.
The big DC characters almost all come from a time when people didn't care about making good characters just beings with powers, origins, and costumes that seemed neato. Stan Lee came along with Marvel comics and was able to learn from their past mistakes and scientifically construct better characters that can be better adapted for tv and movies and be able to more easily create good stories, comics, movies, and tv shows.
DC characters are only better known in the West due to having a head start. Marvel characters have been fundamentally constructed to be more amenable to being a part of great storytelling.
Luckily, many DC characters will enter the public domain in the coming couple decades so Marvel can adapt the characters and make some good comics and movies.
>people who defend Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman seem to often confuse the two. It's mostly superman fans really, not to mention Batman still is popular as fuck but it's the only DC character that has survived.
Grayson Cook
Lucky that Ladderbro has been researching on them for years. We'd be in the dark otherwise.
