Infinity War Naver ratings 

Netizen: 9.11/10.0 (1711 votes)

audience: 9.22/10.0 (356 votes)

 

OD record is likely to fall I think, a perfect storm of presales, expectations, high screen number and culture day to boot. 

Ratings gonna fall but that’s a good start. 

 

I think that’s a higher rating off the bat than Ultron or Civil War, IIRC?

Small differences, and not really indicative of whether Infinity war will perform better or worse than AoU or CW. They’re all in that “pretty darn good” bracket though which is a good sign :P

Cheers :) very much looking forward to this run

 

Must say though...I'm a little disappointed the IMAX is in 3D format only here. Is it the same in other countries too?

 

In NZ they're running one 2D IMAX showing per day, with all the others being 3D.

It's a shame..and they charge more for the 3D showing too, despite the obvious fact it's the crappier format.

 

Nothing but an eyesore most of the time.

Very nice breakdown of screens by feasby in the previous page. Of course there's always a lot of controversy in Korea when a film opens to such a huge screen count, and just to reiterate, Infinity War will open with the highest number of screens to date at a percentage of a whopping 57%. This statistic looks even worse when you consider that the showing for the other films are situated in unfavorable times (early morning/late night)

 

screen count on opening day (Data provided by Kofic)

(2018)   2563   The Avengers: Infinity War pt.1

(2017)   2026   The Battleship Island

(2016)   1864   Captain America: Civil War

(2015)   1731   The Avengers: Age of Ultron

(2017)   1703   Spider-Man: Homecoming

(2017)   1687   Kingsman: Golden Circle

(2017)   1601   Thor: Ragnarok

(2016)   1571   Train to Busan

(2017)   1538   Along with the gods

(2017)   1446   A Taxi Driver

 

There's been increasing talk about possible regulations to counterbalance this situation which is bad news for us fans of record breaking BO numbers, and theater owners would probably hate it too. But it does seem like a practical necessity to promote an atmosphere of a sustainable and diverse film industry going forward. 

 

I'm curious though, do other countries regulate screens so that a particular film can't dominate completely? The articles I read say that it's a problem relevant to South Korea more than it is in other countries.
