The Avengers trailer ‘Smashes’ iTunes record with 10 million+ downloads in 24 hours...

Well, if there was any doubt that Marvel Studios’ The Avengers is an extremely highly anticipated movie, they’ve officially been laid to rest now. With the trailer downloaded over 10 million times in the 24 hours after it was put online. Back in May the trailer for Transformers: Dark of The Moon was downloaded over 6 million times in its first 24 hours; The Avengers had a very big improvement on that figure. 

Thor 2 director confirmed: Monster director Patty Jenkins finally gets the job...




It’s a sign that Marvel Studios’ unprecedented strategy of introducing characters in 5 solo films, whilst developing a shared Universe for those characters (The MCU) appears to be working. More to the point the hoped for ‘X-Factor’ that would make the combination of characters from different films would produce a film that could gross significantly more than the individual character’s movies would. 

Thor 2, the Phineas & Ferb movie and Johnny Depp’s The Lone Ranger get new release dates...




Of course the film’s next couple of trailers will have to bring more to the table (which they will, as several months of post production and effects work will be completed, not just several days / weeks) but they will have to go a long way to stop this film from opening to huge numbers, based on this evidence. Of course opening huge is one thing the film will have to match those 10 million + expectations to really be a monster hit. Still get those bets on The Avengers grossing over $1b in now.

The Avengers: “If we can’t protect the Earth, You can be damn sure we’ll avenge it!” The Trailer has landed...
