Paving the way for the production and release of its multi-character superhero film, THE AVENGERS, Marvel Entertainment, Inc., announced today an adjusted release pipeline for its self-produced feature film properties that reflects the first time individual Super Hero characters and story arcs will be inter-woven and culminate in a multi-character motion picture. Separately, Marvel Studios confirmed today that Sony Pictures Entertainment will release
SPIDER-MAN 4 on May 6, 2011. Additionally, Marvel Studios has revised the release dates for
THOR and
CAPTAIN AMERICA as part of its release strategy for an uninterrupted road to
THE AVENGERS, now debuting
May 4, 2012.
A Marvel character-based film will now launch the summer box office season for three years in a row, from 2010 through 2012.
“This new schedule strongly sequences Marvel’s movie debut dates, big screen character introductions and momentum. It maximizes the visibility of our single character-focused films, leading to the highly anticipated release of the multi-character THE AVENGERS film in 2012,” said David Maisel, Chairman, Marvel Studios.
Sony Pictures’ and Marvel Studios’
SPIDER-MAN 4 is slated for May 6, 2011. To date, all three motion pictures in the phenomenally successful SPIDER-MAN franchise have generated nearly $2.5 billion worldwide theatrically.
Below is Marvel Studios’ 2010-2012 updated release schedule for its slate of self-produced and financed feature films:
The release date for IRON MAN 2 remains unchanged. IRON MAN 2 is the sequel to the blockbuster film, IRON MAN, which has grossed nearly $600 million worldwide.
Probably be changed again. To much to fast.
Yeah Im pretty sure all of those will be changed again.
So they're going to have Spider-Man open in May '11, Captain America in June '11 and Thor in July '11. Does anyone else think they should space these out a little? It seems like overkill to have one Marvel superhero movie per month throughout the summer of 2011.
It would be nice if one of these opened in the fall or spring. 300, V for Vendetta and Watchmen all opened in the spring and they did quite well.
