‘Avengers: Doomsday’ Presales Are Crushing Records Ahead Of Holiday Box Office Battle

Disney's four-month early ticket drop is already pacing 65% ahead of the record-breaking 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' opening.

Hollywood is gearing up for a staggering box office showdown this holiday season as Marvel Studios and Warner Bros. prep for what insiders are calling "Dunesday." With "Avengers: Doomsday" and "Dune: Part Three" positioned as the ultimate cinematic events of the year, moviegoers are already rushing to secure their seats months ahead of time. Disney officially kicked off advance ticket sales for "Avengers: Doomsday" four full months before its theatrical debut. The strategy coincided with the wide release of a sneak peek teaser previously shown exclusively at San Diego Comic-Con and D23. Disney had already teased high demand back in July by launching premium format presales across 1,000 screens worldwide. ## avengers doomsday presale numbers compared to spiderman Early figures suggest the unprecedented early rollout is paying off in massive numbers. According to industry reports, initial ticket sales for "Avengers: Doomsday" are running roughly 65 percent ahead of the two-day presale pacing set by "Spider-Man: Brand New Day." That comparison is a major sign for theater operators. When ticket sales for "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" opened 45 days prior to its premiere, the web-slinger went on to score a record-breaking $360 million domestic debut and a $927 million global launch. To date, that opening stands as the second-largest box office debut in cinematic history behind "Avengers: Endgame." The insane presale momentum proves that multiplex audiences still have an insatiable appetite for huge superhero crossovers and giant-format IMAX spectacles. Recent box office traffic has already been bolstered by fans flocking to "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" and "The Odyssey," setting the stage for an explosive winter season. ## dune 3 vs avengers doomsday box office battle Meanwhile, Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. are readying "Dune: Part Three" to capture the premium screen audience alongside Marvel's behemoth. With both tentpole films competing for IMAX format screens and holiday moviegoers, the end of the year is shaping up to deliver historic theatrical receipts. If the early presale tracking holds true, "Avengers: Doomsday" could be on track to challenge major box office records before the first public showings even begin. Popcorn season is far from over, and "Dunesday" is poised to rewrite the history books.
