‘Avengers: Endgame’ Presales Blast Off: Set First Hour Records, Ticket Sites Crash
Deadline ^ | April 2, 2019 | Anthony D'Alessandro

Posted on 04/02/2019 8:28:12 AM PDT by EdnaMode

Avengers: Endgame tickets went on sale today with Atom Tickets reporting that in the first hour, the Marvel movie has set a record for the mobile ticket retailer. To date, Avengers: Endgame has sold three times more tickets on Atom in the first hour of pre-sales than Avengers: Infinity War did last year. The first hour of Avengers: Endgame presales also outstrips Atom’s first hour sales for Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

Fandango is also reporting strong sales for the Russo Brothers-directed sequel.

In addition, the frenzy for Avengers: Endgame tickets is so huge, it’s crashing sites. Ticket buyers are getting a 503 error code on AMC, and some users on Atom and Fandango are having difficulty too. But that’s a sign that business is strong, and it’s par for the course for any ticket retailer’s sites whenever there is a rush for a hot act. You just get boxed out. Keep trying.

Disney’s Avengers: Endgame opens on April 26.

Never understood this phenomenon. If you wait just a week you can walk right in on a Sunday afternoon.

I saw the last one on Netflix. The end was so mindbogglingly disappointing that I resolved to never watch another Avenger movie.

I am not surprised.

Personally, I think this is the most anticipated film ever in the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe, for the uninitiated). Fact is, I’d say this is one of the most anticipated movie of the decade.

It was disappointing...and sad. And THAT, FRiend, is why this movie is so anticipated. Most of the people seeing it were so sad from the ending of ‘Infinity war’ that they’re wondering how in the hell Marvel’s gonna fix the “universe”.

I think you're right..that was a totally unexpected ending.

Here’s my take on the plot for Endgame:

The Avengers gain control over the “time Stone” and reverse all the effects from Thanos destroying half of the universe.

there is the risk of hearing secrets all over social media and the real world

A lot are curious if they will let “Captain SJW’ (in Spanish, “El Bitcho Nontropo”) will ruin it. Rumor has it they shot 2 different versions, one featuring her and another with her in the background.

If they feature her it will kill the franchise like Last Jedi did Star Wars and Discovery did Star Trek.

Oh yeah...some people have no concept of the idea that there are those of us who DO NOT WANT TO HEAR OR SEE SPOILERS. I think they get some kind of perverse pleasure from doing so.

Went to see unplanned yesterday afternoon. I’d walk over glass barefoot to see it again. Yes it’s that good.

” how in the hell Marvel’s gonna fix the “universe””

Time vortex in the Quantum Realm will enable them to go back in time. That’s why they’re wearing those uniforms in the trailers.

as well as making up a lie . claiming that it is a rumor … and see how far it goes.

Like ‘unnamed sources in the white house say”

Basically, he’s now God. I’m sure they will come up with some sort of far fetched and incredible solution, but I’ve lost interest, and they lost me with that lame, over the top ending.

Reminds me of those cliffhangers from the 40’s and 50’s. When you see the good guy die for sure one episode, then at the beginning of the next one you see what is, for all intents and purposes, a different ending of the last episode, making escape easy. Lame.

I’m finding myself naturally migrating in that direction. I saw that the Antman and wasp movie was free on Netflix so I thought I’d give it a try. It just didn’t hold me. I didn’t care about the characters. I shut it off after 15 minutes. I came back a week later and got another ten minutes into it and was done.

I find I see a lot of these movies like I see old Yogi Bear cartoons. I’ve just moved on.
