The French opening is programed on May, the 2nd and it will hit the charts on Friday night, and Saturday, this same week.

As I can never more go to the theatre, I will wait for the combo (BR + digit) pack to be available soon!!!! (my BR reader is an "all zone" one... :) )

I'll be VERY shocked if this movie doesn't give the Dark Knight and Avatar a run for it's money. I plan on seeing it this Friday. So far everything I've heard about it has been awesome. Looking forward to seeing for myself!

This makes me happy. The movie was awesome. I'm cautiously optimistic, though, since a lot of Marvel's comic book films have reached that kind of record overseas, but I don't think they're not this fast to break 100M.

I can't wait for our US-based, comic-reading brothers and sisters to watch this. I'll be watching it the second time with you guys come May 4th!
