钢铁侠3演员表B: The film is being shown at a Korona World theatre in Nagoya, Japan in the 4DX format, featuring strobe lights, tilting seats, blowing wind and fog and odor effects. Regal Cinemas, AMC Theatres and Carmike Cinemas put presale tickets on hold, two weeks before the US premiere. The cinemas were in a contract dispute with Disney, who wished to receive more of the ticket sale profit than they currently did; largely based on the projected premiere-weekend intake Iron Man 3was expected to have. Carmike was the first to come to terms with Disney. It was later
reported that Cinemark Theatres had also stopped selling presale tickets, and Regal Cinemas had rem
oved all marketing material for the film from its locations. On April 25, 2013, Regal, AMC and Disney ended their dispute, which allowed Regal and AMC to proceed with selling presale tickets again.
