Initial advance tickets for Avengers: Doomsday went on sale in July, specifically for Disney's premium "Infinity Vision" large-format screens. Wider global and standard tickets followed last month, and, not too surprisingly, pre-sales were through the roof.
According to @GlobalBoxOffice, Doomsday has already taken in $40 million in pre-sales at the domestic box office, becoming the first movie ever to reach this milestone 100 days out from its theatrical release.
This obviously bodes well for the movie's box office run, although Doomsday achieving Avengers: Endgame-level success in the current climate might be optimistic. That said, Spider-Man: Brand New Day continues to climb to the top of the list of biggest movies of all time, recently passing Avatar: The Way of Water to become the third highest-grossing film ever worldwide.
During a recent interview with AP News, co-director Anthony Russo was asked if he believed Doomsday will "restore order" to the MCU.
“It’s a great question. It’s part of the unique challenge. The thing that Joe and I have always appreciated about our collaboration with Marvel is: Our job isn’t to answer for the entirety of the MCU. We intersect it in a very specific way. It’s that intersection which is where we can make sense of things.”
We also have an international teaser for Doomsday. Like the "100 Days" countdown promo, this doesn't feature any new footage, but does spotlight reshuffled shots from both previously released trailers.
For what it's worth, MTTSH has heard from another source who claims that a recent Doomsday test screening was met with a very positive response.
Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars were hit with significant delays last year, with Doomsday now set to arrive in theaters on December 18, 2026, and Secret Wars positioned for December 17, 2027.
Both movies will be directed by the Russo brothers, who also make their MCU return after helming Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.
"Universes collide and the Multiverse Saga begins its final chapter in Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Doomsday.
