Avengers: Doomsday is about to outgross Supergirl at the box office, despite still being over a month away
Avengers: Doomsday has passed $125 million in advance ticket sales and is close to matching the entire worldwide box office of Supergirl, which earned about $126.5 million. The comparison highlights the scale of early demand for Marvel’s upcoming film, although its final box office performance remains unknown.
The pre-sales figure was reported by Forbes, and tickets have been available since 14 August; the article says Doomsday had already made more than $50 million in pre-sales by September. Its US release is scheduled for 18 December and its UK cinema release for 16 December. The article also notes that IMAX availability is limited in many territories because those screens are showing Dune 3.
In short
- Doomsday has taken more than $125 million in advance sales.
- It is nearing Supergirl’s $126.5 million global total.
- The film opens in UK cinemas on 16 December.
Explained simply
Avengers: Doomsday is part of Marvel’s Avengers film series, which brings together heroes from across the studio’s films. Supergirl is a separate film about a DC Comics character, released by a rival studio.
Advance ticket sales are bookings made before a film opens; they can indicate early interest but do not show how many people will ultimately watch it or how much it will earn. Worldwide box office figures count ticket revenue across countries, so comparing a film’s early sales with another film’s full run offers only a partial measure of its prospects.
