‘Avengers: Doomsday’ Has Reportedly Already Outgrossed ‘Supergirl’ 6 Weeks Before Release
Avengers: Doomsday has reportedly earned more than $125 million in worldwide advance ticket sales, around six weeks before its scheduled release on 18 December. That figure is close to the $126.4 million Supergirl took in across its entire cinema run, highlighting the very different levels of reported audience demand for the two superhero films.
The figures come from third-party tracking cited by the article and have not been independently confirmed in the text. Advance ticket sales and a film’s final theatrical gross are not directly comparable, and Doomsday’s eventual box office remains unknown. The article links the reported interest to the Marvel film’s ensemble and Robert Downey Jr.’s return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
In short
- Doomsday reportedly passed $125 million in advance sales.
- Supergirl finished its cinema run at $126.4 million worldwide.
- The figures come from third-party tracking and are not directly comparable.
Explained simply
Avengers: Doomsday and Supergirl are superhero films based on characters published by Marvel and DC, two rival comic-book companies whose stories have also become major cinema franchises. Doomsday is part of Marvel’s connected film universe, while Supergirl belongs to the separate DC universe.
The films have different casts and release schedules, and their cinema earnings depend on factors including audience interest, reviews and how widely they are shown. Advance ticket sales indicate early bookings, whereas a film’s total gross is counted over its full cinema run, so the figures do not measure the same period.
