Superhero Costume Demand on the Rise as ‘The Wolverine’ Releases says Mega Fancy Dress
(PRWEB UK) 31 July 2013 -- On July 25th, X-Men movie ‘The Wolverine’ slashed into UK cinemas. Star Australian actor Hugh Jackman reprised his role as the titular mutant Wolverine for the sixth time. Despite positive critic reception and topping the box office in North America on its opening day, the movie has the lowest opening gross for the X-Men movie franchise. But that didn’t stop people from buying more Wolverine fancy dress costumes from Mega Fancy Dress.
‘The Wolverine’ is the third big superhero movie of 2013 – alongside Superman movie ‘Man of Steel’ and ‘Iron Man 3’. ‘The Wolverine’ so far is behind its competitors in terms of box-office performance, but it sits comfortably in the middle of the three when it comes to critical reception – currently with a 67% ‘certified fresh’ rating on aggregate review website Rotten Tomatoes. It will be interesting to see how the last big 2013 superhero movies ‘Thor: The Dark World’ does when it hits cinemas in November.
Superhero fancy dress costumes are a popular choice all year round, being favourites for events like children birthday parties and stag nights. Mega Fancy Dress has a big range of competitively-priced superhero costumes to accommodate all shapes, sizes and budgets. Sales Director, Natasha Amin, states “Wolverine fancy dress costumes have become more popular since the release of the film. Our other officially-licensed superhero costumes have also received a large increase in demand thanks to the onslaught of big superhero movies recently; we have even started stocking wacky superhero costumes like ‘Zombie Batman’ which should be a big seller this Halloween! We expect this trend to continue with big 2014 superhero movies such as ‘Captain America: Winter Soldier’ and ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2’.”
A seventh X-Men movie ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’ has been in production alongside ‘The Wolverine’ and is due for release in May 2014. The ambitious movie will star multiple actors as Magneto and Charles Xavier from different time periods. The film bearing the ‘X-Men’ brand name in the title is expected to be more of a financial success than this year’s ‘The Wolverine’.
