No surprise, but The Avengers: Endgame is the most anticipated movie to be released in 2019 topping Atom Tickets’ ranking of the most anticipated 2019 film releases by a wide margin.
Atom Tickets, which is a social movie ticketing app backed by Disney, Fox and Lionsgate, also listed Captain Marvel coming in at #2, with Toy Story at #3.
The Avengers: Endgame and Captain Marvel also topped a most anticipated list released by Fandango.
Star Wars: Episode IX falls to #6 on the Atom Tickets list, while it is #3 on Fandango’s.
“Although we expect to see some movement in preferences as release dates near and studios ramp up marketing efforts, there were clear winners in each category. The battles for box office dominance between Dwayne Johnson, Lupita Nyong’o, The Avengers, and Star Wars will be epic, and the 2019 slate looks great overall,” said Matthew Bakal, Chairman and Co-Founder of Atom Tickets.
“Despite all the headlines about streaming formats dominating the industry, our survey found that consumers are still very enthusiastic about seeing movies in the theater,” Bakal added. “In fact, an overwhelming 86% of survey respondents said they are likely to see movies in theaters in 2019. Interestingly, a large majority of consumers — 76% — plan to watch the movies they loved and saw in the theater again at home.”
