**The addition of roughly four minutes of new footage tying directly into the December release of Avengers: Doomsday, paired with strong premium large-format play on over 1,300 Infinity Vision and IMAX screens, drove robust fan turnout for the seven-year-old MCU hit.** This marketing hook and the film’s enduring cultural status produced a $26 million domestic opening weekend—third-highest ever for a re-release—easily landing in the 25-28m band that commands 98.3% trader consensus. Comparable recent re-releases and solid international results further reinforced the market’s tight clustering around that range. Upset scenarios would require a sharper-than-expected drop after opening day or major underperformance in key overseas markets, though current tracking and early actuals make those outcomes unlikely.
