In some exciting news for Marvel fans, a press release from Fandango today revealed the results of its "Most Anticipated Summer Movies Survey", in which Captain America: Civil War was voted by movie fans as the most anticipated action movie of the season. The hotly anticipated Marvel release is currently outselling all previous Marvel movies in pre-sales, including the first two Avengers films and the previous Captain America installment, Captain America: Winter Soldier.
“According to our survey, fans will be spending more time at the multiplex this summer,” says Fandango Managing Editor Erik Davis. “Last year’s record-breaking movie line-up has inspired fans to return to theaters, and this summer there is truly something for everyone. The season kicks off in May with Marvel’s best movie yet, ‘Captain America: Civil War,’ while ‘Finding Dory’ will catch the family audience in June, a fresh, female-driven ’Ghostbusters’ will attract comedy fans in July, and the ‘Suicide Squad’ is sure to generate a lot of love for the supervillains in August.”
This news is hardly surprising. Early screenings and reviews have been nothing short of positive, with many reviewers calling the film Marvel's best yet. The addition of Spider-Man's presence in the film was undoubtedly a factor as well. With news like this, it's hard to argue that audiences are growing tired of superhero films! In other movie news, Finding Dory was selected as the most anticipated family film, with The Secret Life of Pets and Alice Through the Looking Glass following closely behind. Paul Feig’s female-led Ghostbusters reboot was (somehow) voted the most anticipated summer comedy, followed by Central Intelligence and Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising.
