Avengers: Doomsday Advance Booking Races 65% Ahead of Spider-Man: Brand New Day As Marvel Eyes Another Historic Opening
BY SACNILK
Mumbai, August 19 - Marvel is looking for another historic opening with Avengers: Doomsday already showing phenomenal demand months before its theatrical release. The upcoming Marvel event film has reportedly raced 65% ahead of Spider-Man: Brand New Day in advance bookings in the domestic (North America) market, based on the first two days of general presales. The early trend is significant considering Brand New Day recorded the biggest opening in North America box office history.

Avengers: Doomsday began its advance sales around four months before its December 18 release, while Spider-Man: Brand New Day opened bookings much closer to its theatrical debut. Therefore, the current 65% lead should not necessarily be interpreted as a direct indication that Doomsday will open 65% higher, but it does underline the extraordinary level of early interest surrounding the next Avengers film. The momentum comes after Spider-Man: Brand New Day continues to deliver a sensational worldwide run. The Tom Holland-led film has already crossed the $2 billion mark globally, becoming only the eighth film in history to reach the milestone. Its massive performance has once again demonstrated the strength of Marvel's biggest theatrical properties, with Avengers: Doomsday now looking to capitalise on that renewed enthusiasm for large-scale superhero events. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Adding to the anticipation is the film's enormous ensemble cast and the return of Robert Downey Jr., who will play the villainous Doctor Doom. Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, Avengers: Doomsday brings together characters from different corners of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including the Avengers, Fantastic Four and X-Men. The combination of a major crossover storyline, the Russo Brothers and Downey Jr.'s return has made the film one of the most anticipated releases of 2026. With nearly months still remaining before its December 18 theatrical release, Avengers: Doomsday has plenty of time to build on its already impressive presales. If the current pace continues and expands as the release date approaches, Marvel could be heading toward another record-breaking opening. For now, the 65% lead over Spider-Man: Brand New Day provides an early indication that the next Avengers event could be on an entirely different level.
