Avengers Doomsday Presales Are Beating Deadpool's Run

Avengers Doomsday presales are doing something Marvel has not managed in years: making the rest of Hollywood nervous. A tracker's fresh Mexico figures, published October eleventh, say the film is already ahead of the full ticket-selling run of Deadpool and Wolverine, and the movie does not open for more than two months.

The Mexico numbers that turned heads

According to Comic Basics, a tracker known as Carlangonz shared new data on presales in Mexico after about a week of regular sales and nearly two weeks of Infinity Vision sales. In that sample, the film has passed the entire sales cycle of Deadpool and Wolverine and sits roughly seven percent above it.

It is also running at nearly eighty-nine percent of the total opening-day sales of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which is the current record holder for a superhero launch. Against older titles the gap is wild: the tracker puts Doomsday at about three and a half times the full presale run of The Fantastic Four: First Steps and three point two times that of Superman.

Occupancy across the sample stands at fifty-five percent of the seats available for opening day. The tracker is pausing updates for a few weeks, so the next question is whether the film grabs the top spot ever for advance sales.

Why trust it, and why not

Here is the catch. These are one tracker's sample figures, not official studio data, and Comic Basics says as much, calling them a strong signal rather than a final tally. The same goes for the headline worldwide figure: according to Popcorn Realm, box office tracker Global Box Office reported on October sixth that worldwide presales had crossed one hundred million dollars, but Disney has not confirmed that number.

The last figure Disney gave directly came from its chief financial officer, Hugh Johnston, who said at a Goldman Sachs conference on September ninth that domestic presales had passed fifty million dollars. Read the bigger totals as a very good sign, not as a receipt.

Infinity Vision is doing the heavy lifting

Part of the story is how the tickets are being sold. Infinity Vision is Disney's new premium large-format label, created after Warner Bros. locked IMAX screens for Dune: Part Three over the holiday season. It launched in the United States on about one thousand non-IMAX premium screens, and reports say more than seventy percent of early sales have gone to those auditoriums.

The first day of premium-format sales reportedly brought in sixteen and a half million dollars, roughly double the first-day figure for Deadpool and Wolverine, according to Variety as relayed by Comic Basics. The film later became the first ever to pass forty million dollars in domestic presales. Showtimes for December seventeenth and eighteenth are already described as largely sold out.

Overseas, the film became the fastest ever to reach one million dollars in pre-release sales in both the United Kingdom and Brazil. In Mexico it opens on December seventeenth, a day before the United States, and early on some cinema apps struggled with errors during the first hours of the sale. That alone tells you how many people were hammering refresh.

What Marvel needs it to be

The bar is huge. Spider-Man: Brand New Day opened to about three hundred sixty million dollars domestically and has grossed roughly two point four five billion worldwide, making it the second-highest-grossing superhero film ever. Tracking for Doomsday points to a domestic opening between two hundred sixty and three hundred million dollars, though some insiders whisper about bigger.

The movie reunites a giant ensemble, with Robert Downey Jr. stepping in as Doctor Doom and Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Pedro Pascal, Paul Rudd, Anthony Mackie and Florence Pugh in the cast. Joe and Anthony Russo direct, and the runtime is set at one hundred sixty-five minutes. It lands December eighteenth, in direct competition with Dune: Part Three, which is eyeing a franchise-record opening of more than one hundred million dollars.

The takeaway for fans

Avengers Doomsday presales measure hype, not quality, which matters because many loud openers have faded fast. The story will keep moving as December gets closer, and every new tracker update will be read as a verdict on whether Marvel can regain its old swagger. Fans who care about the theater experience should also note that premium screens are selling first, so the best seats are going early.

Presales measure hype, not quality, and plenty of loud openers have faded fast. Still, a film that outsells the entire campaign of a billion-dollar hit before the final trailer cycle is hard to wave off. If you want a seat in a premium screen on opening weekend, history says to book early.
