The Russo Brothers recently made it clear that Marvel will ward off spoiler leakage for Avengers: Infinity War by not screening the movie in its entirety during their worldwide press tour. However, the studio was willing to risk showing the opening 30 minutes at a London press event, and reaction immediately began to surface online.
Digital Spy put up a highly positive tweet that described the movie as very ambitious, with tonal differences to fit the various teams that appear in it. They also referred to the movie’s humor, which has become an integral part of nearly all Marvel Cinematic Universe installments.
The website managed to avoid any major spoilers for the April 27 release, although they may have spoiled one specific character. Skip the tweet quoted below if you don’t want to know!
We've just seen 30 mins of #AvengersInfinityWar. Can't say too much, but it's way ambitious, it'll switch tones between different groups (the Guardians sequence had a very different, look, feel,and soundtrack to the New York scenes), and it's going to be funny. Still no Hawkeye! pic.twitter.com/FehX5anmB9

Three weeks ahead of the film’s release date, the first reliable projection for its opening weekend at the box office unsurprisingly points toward big bucks and shattered records. According to Deadline, the movie currently looks good enough to command a $200 million-plus North American debut.
There’s no doubt that the numbers will climb as the release date nears. To date, Furious 7’s $147.2 million opening weekend currently holds the record for the best April debut, but it’s really a no-brainer to think that Infinity War poses a very real threat.
And finally, here’s the movie’s IMAX poster!
