With 47 days still to go before its December 18, 2026 release, Marvel's *Avengers: Doomsday* has reportedly sold about $127 million in advance tickets worldwide, according to box office tracker Global Box Office. That figure, which circulated widely in reports published November 1, puts the film's presales within touching distance of the entire worldwide theatrical gross of DC Studios' *Supergirl*, which finished its run at $126.4 million.

The comparison needs a qualification before anything else. The $127 million is a tracker estimate, not a figure Disney has publicly confirmed. The only domestic presale total Disney has confirmed is the more than $50 million announced in September by chief financial officer Hugh Johnston. The worldwide figure should therefore be read as reported, not official. It is also a different kind of number from a final box office gross: presales are tickets sold in advance, and they will count toward the film's opening weekend when it opens, rather than sitting on top of it. The point of the comparison is scale, not a final result. A film that has not yet opened has already sold roughly as many tickets, in dollar terms, as another major superhero film sold in its entire run.

*Supergirl*, directed by Craig Gillespie and starring Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, was released in the United States on June 26, 2026\. It grossed $72.4 million in the United States and Canada and $54 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $126.4 million, against a reported production budget of $170 million to $186 million. It opened to about $38 million domestically and then fell 76 percent in its second weekend, to $9.6 million domestically. By the standards applied to a film of that cost, it was a box office disappointment, and trade reporting has since put its estimated loss in a wide range, depending on how marketing and later revenue are counted.

The presale story began in July, when premium-format tickets went on sale alongside the film's first trailer. According to figures reported by Variety, *Doomsday* generated $16.5 million in its first 24 hours of premium-format bookings, across roughly 1,000 domestic theaters... about double the first-day figure reported for *Deadpool & Wolverine*.

In September, at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia + Technology Conference, Johnston confirmed that domestic advance sales had passed $50 million, with more than 70 percent of that total tied to the studio's new Infinity Vision premium format. That detail shapes what the headline number does and does not prove. A large share of early sales coming from premium screens means higher ticket prices are doing part of the work, and the earliest buyers are, by definition, the most committed fans. A strong presale total shows intensity of demand; it does not by itself show how wide that demand will be once general audiences decide whether to go in the film's second and third weekends.

The tracker figures then kept climbing. Global Box Office reported on October 6 that worldwide presales had passed $100 million, more than two months before release. By October 27, the same tracker put domestic presales above $65 million, roughly 50 days before release, and worldwide presales at about $127 million. Only the $50 million domestic figure has been confirmed by Disney, and some observers have questioned this particular tracker's estimates in the past. The direction of travel, however, is consistent across the confirmed and the reported numbers.

For comparison, the tracker places the largest domestic presale totals on record at $150 million for *Spider-Man: Brand New Day* (2026) and $130 million for *Avengers: Endgame* (2019), followed by $78 million for *Spider-Man: No Way Home*. At more than $65 million domestically with about seven weeks to go, *Doomsday* was, on those tracker figures, closing in on the third-place mark held by *No Way Home*.

Opening-weekend projections for *Doomsday* vary widely, which is itself worth stating plainly. Global Box Office has projected a domestic debut of $260 million to $300 million. Other trade projections cited in recent reporting put the range higher, at $300 million to $400 million. At least one more aggressive tracker forecast has gone as high as $425 million to $450 million, though that remains speculation rather than a consensus estimate.

The benchmarks those projections are measured against are formidable. *Avengers: Endgame* opened to $357.1 million domestically in 2019, and *Spider-Man: Brand New Day* opened to $360 million domestically in 2026, according to tracker figures cited in recent reporting. A $260 million to $300 million opening would rank among the largest domestic debuts ever without breaking the record. None of these figures is a result yet, and presales, however large, do not guarantee an opening at the top of the range. Reviews, word of mouth, and competition all still have room to move the number in either direction.
