Strong presales exceeding $65 million domestically and $125 million worldwide by late October have anchored trader sentiment for Avengers: Doomsday’s December 18 opening weekend, pushing the two leading brackets—300-340 million and 360-400 million domestic—into a near tie at 29 percent each. The Russo brothers’ direction, Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom, and an expansive crossover ensemble have fueled sustained advance ticket momentum well ahead of Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s $360 million record, though wide forecasts reflect uncertainty around same-day competition with Dune: Part Three and the absence of early IMAX screens. Upcoming trailer updates and final tracking revisions in the next six weeks remain key swing factors for the closely contested range.
