Fandango Fanticipation Chart - April 22, 2016
Los Angeles ( April 21, 2016 ) -

Disney’s live-action “The Jungle Book” is still king of Fandango’s Fanticipation movie buzz indicator with a royal score of 90 out of 100 points, and leads Fandango’s weekend ticket sales. 

“Film fans are heading back to the movies for a second helping of Disney magic with Jon Favreau’s ‘The Jungle Book,’” says Fandango Managing Editor Erik Davis. “It’s the current top choice for moviegoers, and could dominate the box office until Marvel’s ‘Captain America: Civil War’ arrives in theaters on May 6.” 

“Captain America: Civil War,” which is currently outpacing all previous Marvel movies at the same point in the Fandango sales cycle, was picked by more than a thousand Fandango fans as the most anticipated action film of the summer.
