Avengers: Doomsday has reportedly crossed $65 million in domestic advance ticket sales, giving Marvel’s next major crossover a substantial early haul roughly seven weeks before its December 18 release.

The estimate suggests considerable interest in the next Avengers installment, but it comes with qualifications. The latest figure is unofficial, tickets have been available for months, and premium screenings accounted for a large share of previously confirmed sales. Together, those factors warrant caution when comparing the film with earlier Marvel blockbusters.
Doomsday’s Reported Pre-Sales Put It Among Marvel’s Biggest Releases
The $65 million figure comes from box office tracking account Global Box Office, which placed the film behind Spider-Man: Brand New Day ($150 million), Avengers: Endgame ($130 million), and Spider-Man: No Way Home ($78 million) on its list of the biggest domestic pre-sales totals. Both the latest estimate and those comparisons remain the tracker’s reported figures rather than an independently verified industry ranking.
AVENGERS: DOOMDAYS has now crossed $65M in domestic pre-sales, 50 days before its launch.
America’s biggest pre-release sales ever:
1️⃣ SPIDER-MAN: BND — $150M (2026; SONY)
2️⃣ AVENGERS: ENDGAME — $130M (2019; Disney)
3️⃣ SPIDER-MAN: NWH — $78M (2021; SONY) https://t.co/Dx785cA1Bl— Global Box Office (@GlobalBoxOffice) October 27, 2026
The report follows an earlier, studio-backed milestone. Variety reported in September that Avengers: Doomsday had reached $50 million in advance ticket sales, a figure announced by Disney CFO Hugh Johnston during the Goldman Sachs Communacopia + Technology Conference.
That earlier announcement gives the latest estimate some context, although it does not independently confirm the additional $15 million now being reported.
The timing of ticket availability also complicates comparisons. Doomsday has had months to accumulate advance sales, making its running total difficult to compare directly with films that sold tickets over shorter periods. The early haul demonstrates committed interest, but its opening weekend will also depend on how much additional business arrives closer to release.
How audiences are buying those tickets is another part of the picture.
Infinity Vision Drives Premium Sales as Dune Takes IMAX
Disney said approximately 70% of the previously announced advance sales were for premium screenings carrying its Infinity Vision designation. That percentage reflects the earlier $50 million milestone, rather than a confirmed breakdown of the newly reported $65 million total.
Demand for premium screenings is particularly relevant given the film’s theatrical competition. As That Park Place previously covered, Dune: Part Three secured the exclusive domestic IMAX opening, leaving Doomsday without access to those screens for its debut. Both films are scheduled to arrive December 18.

Infinity Vision gives Disney a way to direct audiences toward other premium options while Dune occupies domestic IMAX screens. The designation certifies auditoriums that meet the studio’s technical standards; it does not necessarily require theaters to install new specialty equipment if their existing systems qualify.
The certification alone, however, does not establish that participating theaters can consistently command the same ticket prices as IMAX. Its value will depend on whether audiences consider those screenings worth the additional cost.
The substantial premium share of earlier sales suggests an audience willing to pay for an upgraded experience. It also makes the revenue total a less straightforward measure of how many people have purchased tickets.
Strong Revenue Leaves Questions About Audience Size and Costs
The Avengers: Endgame encore release illustrated how a heavy concentration of premium screenings can lift grosses without a proportionate increase in admissions. With approximately 70% of Doomsday’s earlier advance sales tied to Infinity Vision formats, the dollar total alone cannot establish whether Marvel is reaching a broader audience or collecting more from its most committed fans.

That distinction matters given the film’s potentially enormous costs. Budget rumors suggest approximately $400 million in production spending and slightly more than $300 million for marketing. Those figures remain unconfirmed, leaving the film’s actual costs—and the revenue needed to cover them—uncertain.
A substantial advance haul is encouraging, particularly for a release of this scale. But domestic pre-sales represent only part of the financial picture, and exhibitors retain a share of ticket revenue. Worldwide performance and sustained business after opening weekend will ultimately carry far more weight.
The reported $65 million gives Marvel a strong early revenue milestone. Declaring a wider franchise resurgence, however, will require more evidence. Attendance, repeat business, and demand beyond the initial fan rush will provide a clearer test of the next Avengers film’s drawing power.
