Guardians of the Galaxy Movie Crew

Thank you, Empire's fans! You really made a showing at last night's movie! Wow. And from the looks of the video we made you really loved it. Here's a photo from the night as a souvenir. Can't wait for Guardians 2, but there are so many great movies ahead for us before that.

Guardians of the Galaxy on July 31, 2014. Thanks for a great time.

If you are reading this and didn't make it last night, we hope you'll seriously consider joining us next time.

p.s. If you're in this picture, stop by to pick up the Rolly Buttons you earned!

Let's go see Guardians of the Galaxy on July 31

There's no doubt that this movie is going to be amazing! Empire's Movie Crew is going to see it on Thursday, July 31, 2014 at 7:00 pm and we think you should join us.

Just buy your ticket and show up. It's that easy.

Here are all the details you need to know:

Here's a schedule of the fun below.

Good Times with Empire's Comics Vault Movie Crew

Join The Movie Crew, Get Freebies

The first Movie Crew we put together went to see Captain America. We gave out a whole bunch of Captain America comic books that night! We also had a Cap sale that week.

The Amazing Spider-Man Tees

We've seen The Avengers, The Amazing Spider-Man, and now we're off to see The Dark Knight Rises. And yes, there were either freebies (like Spider-Man t-shirts and posters) or movie-related store sales, sometimes a party, but always something!

We Speak Geek

Best of all, we take the time to talk about these movies, to explore what was right, what went wrong, what thrilled us, and what disappointed. Lots of time these topics are fodder for Empire's Open Podcast! We hope you'll join the Movie Crew for our next movie. Watch our blog (right here!), Facebook page, and Twitter for details.

You're going to go see these movies anyway, why not get free comic booky stuff to boot!

Movie Crew's Next Movie Is The Dark Knight Rises

We're so excited to see the new Batman movie that we're going to a midnight showing -- and better yet, we're giving a free Batman related New 52 title to everyone who goes with us! Just hit us up at the theatre and pick a comic book from the titles we have with us.
