YMMV based on location, but I'd do 2 hours as a good marker
My showing is in Houston. I'll try to see what I can do about Calculus (leave early & get notes from a friend).

I was keeping my hype in check ... but fuck man this sounds ridiculous
AKA they didn't just cash in on characters and name-brand to carry the film; they actually produced a great film as well (in other words: the opposite of BvS)

Nah, that always looked bad.
I live in Houston too. Just give it to me. Fate has decided that you are not worthy.
I bet you there are people already lined right now.
brb getting in line now

It shows the release date for this is May 6th, how the fuck are people getting in to see it tonight?
Am I missing something?
How do I not miss this something?

Screenings are happening.
there are early fan screenings tomorrow in select cities, there was a code on twitter and tickets were gone in seconds
Is two hours too late?
I lol'd - good thing I work at home.
~80 minutes to reviews? Even the wait for that is bad.
More like 3 hours
I don't think reviews are for another 3 hours and 17 minutes.

If this thing scores like an 85% or higher on Rotten Tomatoes the bets are all off in terms of box office. 1 Billion will be easy

It's a stretch, but I'd love to see this movie top Jurassic World in WW/domestic gross.
cause that movie was a fucking abomination and it makes me depressed that it even cracked a billion

I am happy to hear the good impressions for Black Panther and I am happy that Chadwick Boseman is to follow up Gods of Egypt with this role. It probably has saved his career
For a movie like this? 3-4 would be a safer bet. But who knows. If they gave out more tickets than seats for the screening then yeah there will be fuckery. If not, you could still be fine with 2...but you're cutting it close.

Yeah that will be hard to do, it would have to beat Ultron domestic to do that, and I'm not sure that's even possible.

It's that damned neck thing. It wouldn't be horrible with a CA1 or WS type strappy helmet.

I don't think I'll be going to this at midnight. Probably Saturday or Sunday. I should buy tickets ahead of time anyway, though.
I like the first one a lot. Spidey is finally appropriately snarky and has more spider-like qualities in some of his fighting. Plus his chemistry with Gwen is cute and they actually started going out in real life during the movie.
I'd rather do laundry or mop floors than watch the second one again though. A lot of people shifted behind the scenes for this one, Avi Arad tightened his grasp, and it turned out so bad that James Horner declined to return. There's a reason Sony gave up and made a deal with Marvel. It was a disaster.

If any non-Avengers movie is going to beat Ultron, it's this one

Even with that shitty movie his capabilities as a actor has been shown in Get On Up.
He did a perfect James Brown.

That feel when the movie filmed in your city and you were an extra in it and still couldn't get screener tickets.
I mean, they paid me, but still, damn.

Ah he looks fine in avengers. I mean there's problems with Cap in Avengers, but the costume isn't the worst.
the avengers is one of my favourite films ever.
I just checked with the theater. They said that I should show up at around 2-3pm CST. I may have to miss class entirely & just get the notes from a friend.
they recommended 5 hours early? fuuuuck

Lol what the fuck
That theater is joshing you, that's total bullshit. The majority of people getting there are going to go after work obviously
Remember these theaters seat like 400 if they're the good ones

For a 7:30 showing??
Spider-man: Homecoming is filming in ATL this year as well

Yeah I tend to agree, but man I still am not sure if it can do that with the name Captain America and not The Avengers, but maybe I'm underestimating it.
I'm expecting around Iron Man 3 gross for this one

Marvel is filming all their movies (except Thor 3) here. Been that way for a while now.

For the record I don't think this movie will beat Ultron, but if any non-Avengers movie would it's Civil War
Hoping the positive WOM pushes it through

Alright, my friend bailed so I'm probably not making the trek from Columbus to Cincinnati for the screening tomorrow, plus I'm getting scared away by these 3-4 hour early suggestions, since I could be in line at the theater about 2.5 hours early at most.
I'm going to hang on to the ticket for now, but if I 100% decide not to go I'll offer my ticket (good for 2 people) up, just remember that they may check ID and not let you in.

Don't jeopardize your education for a movie.
You better round it to 6, just to be sure

Are they gonna film Black Panther in Africa? Then again I doubt it.
It would be pretty cool.

Yep! And they held a casting call for Guardians 2 earlier this year + will be filming Spider-Man here. Just gotta keep your eye out and respond to the casting calls. Wasn't even difficult; just had to send in a few photos for the particular scene(s) I was in.
EDIT: And, yeah, the filming days were fucking long but it was a really cool experience. Would recommend.
