Ngamer64 04/26/18 8:56:35 PM #1:	Wow, what a season it's going to be at the theater- not one but THREE Marvel superhero blockbusters, a new Star Wars, the most anticipated Pixar release ever, and a sequel to the third-largest box office draw the world's ever seen! That's worthy of a Summer Movie Preview IMO... and if someone keeps this thread alive we could use it to discuss the latest Hollywood excitement all season long, how nice would that be? --- 2018 Summer Movies * everything behind a $ below is in millions of dollars and is based on the domestic gross, not the combined worldwide number April 27th *Avengers: Infinity War* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwievZ1Tx-8" data-time=" Ten years later... it all comes down to this. After spending the last decade hunting down stones across the galaxy Thanos finally arrives on Earth, and all factions of the Marvel universe (the Avengers, the Guardians, Strange's sorcerers, the armies of Wakanda, Spiderman's quiz team) must unite to stop him. Well, what more is there to say about this franchise? This is the 19th film in the shared universe and audiences certainly don't seem to be growing fatigued, considering Movie #18 just blew past Titanic to become the third biggest hit in the history of US cinema. The only question is if it can threaten The Force Awakens for biggest opening weekend, and how many Star Wars films it'll be able to knock off while climbing the lifetime charts all Summer long. All I can say for sure is that I'll be a dead ringer for our grizzled new Captain America when I hit the theater in full costume on opening night.

Writer Diablo Cody (of Juno fame) reunites with Charlize Theron to tell the story of an exhausted mother of three whose life is turned around by the night nanny her husband hires named Tully (played by Mackenzie Davis, aka the girl you fell in love with in Black Mirror's San Junipero). Seems like a pretty typical slice-of-life indie drama/comedy, but as someone who loved Juno and Young Adult I still think it could be worth seeing. If the reviews are positive I'll be sure to give this a chance.

Alright so yes, Old School did this 15 years ago (continuing the trend of gender swapped reboots- more on that later) and this new version of the same idea doesn't look especially original or gut-busting. But this movie's not for us, and honestly McCarthy is perhaps the most reliably bankable star in Hollywood right now. I won't be lining up to see this one but everything she stars in finds a big audience with older female viewers and I doubt this will be an exception.
