‘Avengers: Endgame,’ ‘Captain Marvel’ Rated By Atom Tickets As Most Anticipated 2019 Film Releases
Deadline ^ | December 31, 2018 | Dade Hayes

Posted on 12/31/2018 10:25:14 AM PST by EdnaMode

Avengers: Endgame came out on top in Atom Tickets’ ranking of the most anticipated 2019 film releases.

The survey by the social movie ticketing app, whose backers include Lionsgate, Disney and Fox, placed Captain Marvel and Toy Story 4 second and third, respectively. Endgame, though, finished on top of several lists (for most anticipated overall movie, ensemble cast and superhero movie) by “wide margins,” the company said.

The preview list follows a forecast last week from Fandango, which also had Avengers leading the pack.

“Although we expect to see some movement in preferences as release dates near and studios ramp up marketing efforts, there were clear winners in each category. The battles for box office dominance between Dwayne Johnson, Lupita Nyong’o, The Avengers, and Star Wars will be epic, and the 2019 slate looks great overall,” said Matthew Bakal, Chairman and Co-Founder of Atom Tickets.

“Despite all the headlines about streaming formats dominating the industry, our survey found that consumers are still very enthusiastic about seeing movies in the theater,” he added. “In fact, an overwhelming 86% of survey respondents said they are likely to see movies in theaters in 2019. Interestingly, a large majority of consumers — 76% — plan to watch the movies they loved and saw in the theater again at home.”

I saw Avengers I. It was a disappointment. I’m not to excited about seeing Avengers II.

Actually, I think this new one is Avengers IV.

Superhero movies are for 12-year-old kids.

Sorry if that offended. But to each their own, I guess.

Cranky old FReeps can stay home and yell at the Asian neighbor kid. These movies are fun and are the best thing playing lately.

I liked Guardians of the Galaxy I and II. I liked Deadpool 2. I thought the last Avengers was a disappointment.

I expected Infinity War to be a mess with so many characters, but I thought they did a fine job with it. It’s my favorite of all the Avengers movies.

Some of them seem to be struck with cognitive dissonance when someone says they enjoyed both “Wonder Woman” and “Vertigo”.

any movies for people over 12?

For the past two decades, the box office has become increasingly dominated by science fiction, fantasy, animated, action/adventure, and (especially) superhero films. In 2018, every one of the top 10 films was one of these genres, with 6 of them being superhero films.

I expect this to continue indefinitely.

Glass is technically the third installment of a superhero franchise.

Plenty of them.

They will be preachy and dull with holes in the plot you could drive a truck through.

If they are in a historical setting they will shred both history and reality.

There will be a few comedies that are not funny and horror movies that will be blood soaked gorefests that lack any sort of plot.

There will also be a several movies about unpleasant people who bed hop like bunnies.

Enjoy!

Ah, thanks for the clarification. So not one original movie on the list then.

There are only a small handful of movies every year that are good.

Most of those are based on books.

I would say they are suffering from a lack of writers.
