With more than 100 million trailer views to its name, Avengers: Infinity War is undoubtedly one of the 2018’s biggest movies. But how does it fare against the competition?
One glance at Hollywood’s release schedule will tell you that the next 12 months will herald other blockbuster heavyweights in the vein of Deadpool 2, X-Men: Dark Phoenix and Juan Antonio Bayona’s star-studded sequel, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.
But with so much riding on Infinity War‘s burly shoulders – it is the culmination of a decade-long arc – Marvel fans are already heavily invested in Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, and sure enough, IMDb has revealed Avengers: Infinity War to be the most-anticipated film of 2018. The Internet’s go-to movie database curated all of its many page views to confirm that, yes, Infinity War emerged on top, followed by Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther spinoff.
Other notable entries include Tomb Raider and The Predator, which is all the more surprising when you consider that Shane Black’s R-rated reboot has been pushed all the way back to August. Fittingly, Ocean’s Eight placed eighth, and it should be noted that this statistic is subject to change depending on Internet traffic.
