Marvel Studios’ “The Avengers” has already been released in London, Australia, New Zealand and Taiwan before it was domestically, and according to Deadline it’s doing very, very well.
In fact, it’s opening huge, with Australia doing particularly good business for Marvel Studios and Disney (which can use some positive news after the “John Carter” misfire and the firing of Rich Ross, the former chairman of Disney Studios).
If it’s not obvious that I really, really want to see this movie, then you haven’t been paying attention. That being said, I have noticed that there are a lot more trailers popping up, each one revealing a little bit more about the film that the one prior as it gets closer to May 4, when it will be released here.
They have the irritating tendency to reveal things that appear to be important to the film, sucking the almost child-like joy from the movie bit by bit.
This is why I don’t intend to post any more Avengers-related trailers. If you want to view them, they’re out there to be found, though when I saw the one with The Hulk catching Iron Man (which happened to be released by Marvel themselves) I knew that I didn’t want to see any more of the film outside the theater.
So, I’ll continue to link to box office-related stuff, as well as other items of interest, as long as they don’t tell anymore about the film than I already know (which is getting too much for comfort).
