Tickets to "The Avengers" go on sale

It's not often that you buy movie tickets close to two months in advance, but not every movie is the kickoff to the summer movie season: "The Avengers."

Tickets for "The Avengers" go on sale online at midnight tonight (Thursday), and they are likely to sell quite well for the May 4 team-up of Marvel Comics characters including Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, the Incredible Hulk and more.

AMC Southroads 20 confirmed that they will have tickets on sale online at midnight. That will be important to some because "The Avengers" will open in its giant-screen IMAX auditorium as well as several other digital theaters. "The Avengers" is also in 3-D.

AMC will have tickets on sale tonight for the midnight screenings to be held late on the night of May 3 as well as for other showtimes within the first week.

Cinemark Tulsa, which houses Tulsa's original IMAX theater, will also go online with "Avengers" ticket sales at midnight tonight (or 12:01 a.m. Friday, if you want to be technical).

That seems late to stay up tonight buying online tickets, but maybe that's OK this one time; most of the kids I know have tomorrow off from school for an early start to spring break week.

I See Movies for Free

“I was born a poor, black child” … not me, actually, but Steve Martin’s character in the “The Jerk.” That absurd opening line is just one of the absurd number of film facts, quotes and minutiae contained in movie critic Michael Smith’s brain, at his disposal to toss out on a moment’s notice. It’s a key requirement as Tulsa World film critic to know these things. Michael learned a few other life facts along the way (seven years as a Crystal’s Pizza & Spaghetti manager) before attempting journalism and joining the Tulsa World in 1996, where he’s covered everything from a school shooting in Fort Gibson to a tornado in Stroud to witnessing an execution. A little community theater coverage was sprinkled in there, too. Movies engender many of his happiest memories, from standing in line for “Star Wars” and “Grease” at the Southroads Cinema to the James Bond and Pink Panther movies that always premiered at the enormous Continental Theater.
