‘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.”

Now Sarah Palin is a superhero I can get behind.

I’ll stick with John Steed and Emma Peel for real Avengers.

Not as many people have seen Split, and Bruce Willis’ character only has maybe 10 seconds of screen time in the movie, but he is there.

The Avengers comic book was before the TV show, I think.

But I will give a thumbs up for Emma Peel.

My wife and I went to the movies last week. As I was walking out I was showing her the posters for coming attractions and how they were ALL reboots or sequels.

It’s kind of Sad.

And the Chinese influence is now apparent in just about every action movie. Lots of sword play and dragons.

That’s about right - but they are fairly entertaining which is the only reason to ever go to the theater....plus, the wife lets me count it as a dinner date if we stop someplace for a bite before or after the movie....

This “12-year-old kid” has a genius IQ, is broadly literate, writes poetry, performs Vivaldi and Mozart, and has served in ministry.

Be assured that I will go on enjoying what I like, regardless of opinions like yours. (By the bye, it is: ... to each his own,...)

That is good. You should do what you want to do regardless of the opinion of others. It's one of the differences between being a child and an adult.

I do not think you understand what cognitive dissonance functionally is. Regardless, you certainly have not made a legitimate case.

Do you really think that Lewis and Tolkien, both of whom relished Nordic Myth while being professing Christians, were subject to cognitive dissonance?
