Avengers: Doomsday Pre-Sale Tickets Are Outpacing Spider-Man: Brand New Day

The pre-sale tickets for Avengers: Doomsday are selling significantly faster than those for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, according to a report by The Wrap. Doomsday is already 65% ahead in pre-sales, despite its release being four months away. Spider-Man: Brand New Day's tickets were available for purchase around 45 days before its release date, indicating a higher level of pre-order interest.

Doomsday's pre-sale tickets went on sale last month for approved Infinity Vision screens, but were made available to all theaters last week. While these sales represent a certain level of demand, it's likely that the majority of buyers are die-hard fans. It remains to be seen how the demand will change as the release date approaches and more showtimes are added.

Despite brand-new Spider-Man: Brand New Day having made $2 billion and shattered numerous box office records, it's difficult to predict if Doomsday's early momentum will match or exceed it. The MCU has faced criticism for superhero fatigue, but a new Avengers film featuring Doctor Doom and a host of iconic heroes is hard to resist.

Doomsday also faces an obstacle with its release date coinciding with Dune: Part 3, which may slightly dampen opening weekend numbers. However, like Spider-Man, Doomsday could benefit from a delayed IMAX release, encouraging repeat viewings in early 2027. It's expected that Doomsday will generate substantial revenue, regardless of these factors. Cade Onder, a freelancer for IGN's news team, covers all things entertainment.
