Avengers: Doomsday Pre-Sales Outpace Spider-Man: Brand New Day

Marvel Studios may have another massive box office hit on its hands, as early ticket sales for Avengers: Doomsday are reportedly running well ahead of Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

According to early sales data, Avengers: Doomsday is currently pacing approximately 65% ahead of the first two days of pre-sales for Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The numbers are particularly impressive considering Doomsday is still roughly four months away from its December release.

The comparison carries plenty of weight after the enormous performance of Brand New Day. The latest Spider-Man movie recently surpassed $2 billion worldwide, becoming Sony Pictures’ highest-grossing film ever and only the eighth movie in history to reach the $2 billion mark.

That makes the early pace for Doomsday an encouraging sign for Marvel Studios. Advance tickets initially went on sale for roughly 1,000 premium large-format theaters, giving the film a considerably more limited footprint than it will have once its full theatrical rollout approaches.

Avengers: Doomsday will bring together one of the biggest collections of Marvel characters ever assembled on screen. The film features the return of Robert Downey Jr., this time as Doctor Doom, alongside heroes from the Avengers, Fantastic Four and X-Men corners of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The Russo Brothers return to direct after previously helming Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.

The film will also arrive during one of the biggest box office weekends of the year. Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Threeis scheduled to open the same day, setting up the highly anticipated “Dunesday” showdown on December 18. Early demand appears strong for both films, with limited IMAX 70mm screenings of Dune: Part Three also drawing significant interest.

While advance ticket sales don’t guarantee how high a movie will ultimately climb at the box office, Doomsdayoutperforming the early pace of a Spider-Man movie that went on to cross $2 billion is certainly a strong start.
