However, one question notably inquired about the overseas-first release strategy for Marvel movies. The producer/executive revealed that the method came about as an experiment that stems back to the release of Iron Man 2 in 2010 and Thor in 2011 - each domestically released in early May of their respective years. Essentially, the approach was considered after realizing that several countries observed holidays in the end of April, making it advantageous for box-office numbers to get the films out early during those leisure-filled periods. The move didn’t seem to hurt the numbers, so the habit simply continued from that point forward.
Feige also hinted at other advantages to the overseas sneak-peeks, stating that a film’s impending release in the U.S. market can sometimes gain momentum it would not otherwise have enjoyed by touting prospectively impressive foreign numbers. Consequentially, The Avengers: Age of Ultron went into its May 1st domestic debut touting a $201 million foreign tally, already making back most of its $280 million budget and landing it at #10 overall in that category, just behind last year’s China-boosted Transformers: Age of Extinction. Thus, there is evidence that early releases serve as valuable buzz, despite the fact that it lifts the veil of mystery behind the film’s various plot secrets, due to international internet chatter.
Per Fandango, AMC theaters are giving out posters with Thursday, Nov 2nd showings.
Seen it yesterday and it was pretty damn good, i would personally place it with Ant-Man and GoTG 2, was a few nitpicky things i felt a bit eh about/jokes fell abit flat and i did have a massive headache while watching so that kinda hampered enjoyment but it was definitely steps beyond Thor 1&2.

Just got out of the film. There are 2 after-credits scenes, so be sure to stay.
As for the film itself...I truly enjoyed it. Definitely the best in the Thor franchise, and at all times well paced, but I didn't have any major "holy shiiiiiit" moments as with the other Marvel films. The humor worked well for me, and the banter was great too...there were some things that I wanna mention but I'll spoiler them, so don't click unless you've seen it.

I liked it a lot, so many laugh out loud moments.Spoiler: show
Curse you Europeans and getting things first!
Anyhow, currently at 99% on RT.
By far the best plot of any of the main MCU films I've seen. Leaned a touch too heavily into the comedy side, and some of the jokes were a little too predictable. Had a very good score. Overall 8/10.
Kevin Feige teasing that this may be made into reality in a future film.

well this was simply a treasure to experience
Yeah, movie was hype AF
What's the next step beyond "lit AF"?
Cause that's where we're at right now
crazy how much better this was than the first 2 thor movies, on a whole different level. and bah gawd the cameo near the beginning of the movie slayed me
Movie was great and the villain was amazing. There was way too much bad comedy for me though, which took some away from it.
Any poor comedy was made up for by the red ball imo
It was a hell of a lot better than GotG2, which was a big letdown imo.
Hela's intro in Asgard was absolutely fucking crazy. Actually, all the action was bonkers. So. fucking. good.
So so good. And the action scenes were dope.
Going tomorrow night. Am hype!
