Deadline reveal that AMC Theatres have sold out of advance tickets for "The Ultimate Marvel Marathon"; a May 3rd event which will feature all six Marvel Studios movies before the midnight release of The Avengers in RealD 3D.

Beginning at 11.30am with Iron Man, it will then be followed by The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger and finally Marvel’s The Avengers. Are you going? Sound off with your thoughts in the usual place.

STARRING:

Wow. This is a very good news. For those of you who are going, I hate you. Haha, joking. Have fun. :)

I should be seeing The Avengers (Avengers Assemble?!) next Friday. However, as cool as this is, I'm really not sure I could watch all of these in one sitting!

My friends and I are doing this at a friends house. Giant TV. Surround Sound. Blu Ray's.

I have them all on Blu-ray. I'll just watch them over the course of a week before the movie comes out.

Well damn that's a good start. There seems to be a huge demand to match that hype which is good.

There is not a single franchise that would make me want to sit in a movie theater for the better part of the day. Still the craziest one was when they showed all the Harry Potter movies in a row, before the release of the last one.

That bodes very well for the movie. I suspect it's going to break a few records over the weekend. The box office has been on fire in general throught the first three months, and this being the first big movie of the summer, I just think it will set a record for Midnight gross and for weekend gross, IMO.

I would've so bought a ticket, but I have no AMC, that's not apart of a small mall. I'll have to stick with my friends get-together then see the movie at midnight IMAX 3D!

I would go, but the AMC theater near me sucks, and I'll be stuck in class prepping for AP exams.

If I could smoke (whatever the hell I wanted) and there were an AMC nearby (like within a couple hundred miles) I would go for that. Good to hear they have sold out, I have already seen all 5 movies a bazillion times (and the Spider-Man trilogy in case he makes a cameo - jk) so I won't cry to much about missing the marathon.

@JoshWilding You're watching The Avengers next friday (April 13th)? I'm guessing you live outside of America where the release date is May 4th. I live in the UK where the release date is April 26th...or was when i last checked...did i miss something?

TopCat49 - 4/5/2012, 3:55 PM
@JoshWilding You lucky ******* lol. You should do a review on here afterwards, if not already planning to.
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 4/5/2012, 3:59 PM
Heh, cheers guys. The reviews are embargoed until the 20th (or basically the 19th at midnight) so my review will be up then. I will be allowed to Tweet my reaction though so keep an eye out for that!

This movie is doing numbers. If something like this sells out, you know the box office numbers will be crazy. Make sure you all get your tickets early.

I can't even watch all three extended edition LOTR films. I would go crazy sitting in there. I'll watch the films at home, day by day up until the release.
