Does this re-release benefit fans?
Surely hardcore M.C.U fans will be overjoyed for this upcoming re-release of Avengers: Endgame. However, with this re-release, Marvel owner Disney, is clearly trying to become the number one for the highest grossing film in cinema history. With only $40 million sitting between Endgame and Cameron’s Avatar it’s likely that Disney will be able to pull this event off. With pre-release ticket sales going on for the re-release that number is steadily growing smaller and smaller with each passing hour, says reports from comicbook.com. While this release will be fun for fans to go and relive this wonderful film and view some never-before-seen footage, it is clear that this re-release is strictly for, healthy, business competition.
With a home video and V.O.D release slated for this summer and Avengers: Endgame premiering on Disney’s new streaming service, Disney +, at the end of 2019, it seems that M.C.U fans will have plenty of opportunities to watch this film before that happens. Tickets for this re-release can be found on Fandango.
