Spring has just begun to make its presence felt in Boston, but that doesn’t affect today’s Hollywood summer blockbuster season kick-off: the debut of Marvel Studio’s Avengers: Infinity War. In the latest chapter of the Avengers saga, Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America (to name a few) join forces with the Guardians of the Galaxy to keep the evil Thanos from wreaking havoc on the universe.
To mark the movie’s opening weekend, we announced a trivia contest this morning. When it ended at 1 pm, the names of those who answered all of the questions correctly were entered in a drawing for two free tickets for a screening tonight, Friday, April 27, at AMC Loews Boston Common at 9 pm.
The winner is Ryan Sullivan, College of Arts & Sciences Graduate Division of Religious Studies program coordinator.
