THE AVENGERS Bests THE DARK KNIGHT RISES As Fandango's Most Anticipated Summer Movie

The Avengers has emerged victorious in Fandango's survey of most anticipated summers movies, and while The Dark Knight Rises isn't too far behind, The Amazing Spider-Man is absent from both the male and female lists.

The Hollywood Reporter point out a survey over at Fandango which puts Marvel's The Avengers at the top of the list for most anticipated movie of the summer. As you can see from the results below, Joss Whedon's superhero ensemble has a mighty 31% of votes from men and an admirable 16% from women. This puts it ahead of both The Dark Knight Rises in both categories, although Snow White and the Huntsman came out as the most anticipated for women (The Amazing Spider-Man oddly appears in neither list). Fandango Editor-in Chief Chuck Walton had this to say. "It’s clear from the Fandango survey that there’s something for both men and women at the movies this summer. After an incredible first quarter, Hollywood is delivering even more spectacular choices for moviegoers in what’s shaping up to be one of the biggest summers in years."

Men’s Picks for Most Anticipated Summer Movie:

1. The Avengers - 31%
2. The Dark Knight Rises - 23%
3. The Bourne Legacy - 14%
4. Men in Black 3 - 8%
5. Prometheus - 7%

Women’s Picks for Most Anticipated Summer Movie:

1. Snow White and the Huntsman - 22%
2. The Avengers - 16%
3. Men in Black 3 - 13%
4. The Dark Knight Rises - 10%
5. Dark Shadows - 8%

How can Prometheus be so low!? I'm looking forward to that more than most movies, except Avengers! (and maybe Dark Knight Rises).

well to be fair, TDKR is still three months away and the promotion has barely started. Meanwhile the Avengers is everywhere! I wish WB would try harder to promote the film instead of relying on word o mouth and fans of the first two.

These polls do have some validity. They did a poll in December 2011, before most of the publicity for any 2012 movie had really rolled out, and "The Hunger Games" was #2 on the list for most anticipated for women. I was surprised it ranked so high, but then it exploded at the box office.

And I'm afraid that ASM probably will make decent box office, but it's looking kind of like a dud for the general public.

good see the avengers is number one on the men's list & number two on the women's list.

it seems to be the ladies like chris hemsworth as he does appear in the number one & two movies on their list.

prometheus should be higher & the amazing spider-man looks good from the trailer so that should be at least on the list.

Craziest thing is that Jeremy Renner is in the top 3 men's picks. It's gonna be a big summer for him.

oghalfrican232 - 4/17/2012, 3:39 AM
Eh, not sure about this.
1st. The Avengers
2nd. The Amazing Spider-Man
3rd. The Dark Knight Rises

Now of course, this just prediction. I feel like the tables could turn and TASM could get 1st place. Hopefully.

Of course Avengers is high up and has a positive buzz on the internet. It officially releases next week and what we've heard so far is great, add marketing to that and there you go.

I cant wait for the 26th, but I guarantee you when it's Bat breaking time I'm gonna go crazy.

In all reality, this is just one survey/poll. Others have shown TDKR to be the most anticipated in 2012, others have shown the Hobbit and others have shown Hunger Games. It all depends on who you are polling and as anything, it's all a matter of opinion. It really means nothing other than getting people all worked up over it.

Cant work out what Im looking forward to most avengers or tdkr, not suprised TASM isn't on the list as it looks total dogshit.
Comix
Comix - 4/17/2012, 4:35 AM
Yeah I really think Spidey is going to end up like x-men first class/batman begins. When both those movies were coming out they werent really anticipated but they were all really good. I dont expect Spidey to make a billion though, hell no. Alot of people still aint convinced of this reboot.

As for Spider-Man, I agree with Comix. I think we're all going to be pleasantly surprised.

That might not be such a good idea. If marvel gets the rights back, they said they probably wont do anything w/ him for a long time :( im sure TASM will be amazing! The best film of 2012!

dmadtroll - 4/17/2012, 4:45 AM
hehe. now we will hear yet again from nolanites how it is pointless to have these f'n votes from future audiences here, that it makes no sense and that tdkr will still top the avengers. lol

sweetalchemies - 4/17/2012, 4:46 AM
TDKR second? I'll take it, especially considering its marketing is only just beginning.



Can I renounce my gender as well? Snow White and the Huntsman? I mean, yeah it looks decent, and Charlize Theron is gorgeous, but come on. Kristen Stewart? Most girls are probably going to see this mainly because they recognize her from Twilight.

It's a shame people aren't anticipating Prometheus and Spidey more than they should.
TheMyth
TheMyth - 4/17/2012, 4:49 AM
Nolanites making excuses of course. And what was the excuse a few months ago when this was still the case, that Avengers anticipation was skunking TDKR? Just can't take the fact that Marvel has potentially (and now with all the buzz going around from screenings confirming it) made the BEST superhero film ever. The new Bat-flics are good, but they don't even scrape the barrel in terms of being a superhero film. Suck it you extremists, Avengers is blowing your shit out of the water.
