Infinity War Advance Ticket Sales Breaks Record

Infinity War Advance Ticket Sales Breaks First Day Record

The advance ticket sales for Avengers: Infinity War officially began this morning with the launch of the new trailer for the film, and the words “highly anticipated” probably don’t even begin to describe the film. Deadline reports that the movie, after just six hours on sale, became the new record holder for first day advance ticket sales for a superhero movie on Fandango.

The film has beaten out previous record holder, and previous Marvel Studios release, Black Panther, as well as the previous record holder for superhero movies, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Black Panther opened to $202 million at the domestic box office while Batman v Superman managed $166 million at its opening. With over a month still left before the movie arrives, the hype for Infinity War has just begun.

An unprecedented cinematic journey ten years in the making and spanning the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Infinity War brings to the screen the ultimate, deadliest showdown of all time. As the Avengers and their allies have continued to protect the world from threats too large for any one hero to handle, a new danger has emerged from the cosmic shadows: Thanos. A despot of intergalactic infamy, his goal is to collect all six Infinity Stones, artifacts of unimaginable power, and use them to inflict his twisted will on all of reality. Everything the Avengers have fought for has led up to this moment – the fate of Earth and existence itself has never been more uncertain.

Confirmed cast members for Avengers: Infinity War so far include Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Anthony Mackie, Paul Bettany, Elizabeth Olson, Jeremy Renner, Chadwick Boseman, Sebastian Stan, Don Cheadle, Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista, Zoe Saldana, Pom Klementieff, Benedict Cumberbatch, Benedict Wong, Sean Gunn, Tom Holland, Paul Rudd, and Josh Brolin.

Anthony and Joe Russo direct the film, which is produced by Kevin Feige. Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Michael Grillo and Stan Lee are the executive producers. Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely wrote the screenplay.

Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War is opening in theaters on April 27. Then, the Avengers assemble again for the still-untitled fourth film, set for May 3, 2019.
