Avengers: Doomsday Shatters a Major Record 100 Days Before MCU Movie's Release

Marvel’s Phase Six crossover becomes the first film to top $40 million in U.S. pre-sales 100 days before release.

  • On Tuesday, September 8, 2026, Avengers: Doomsday crossed $40 million in domestic pre-sales, a full 100 days before its December 18 theatrical release, setting an unprecedented industry record.
  • Global Box Office reports this milestone makes Doomsday the first film to achieve such volume in advance ticket sales this early; Phase Six pre-sales launched in July for PLF screens.
  • Spider-Man: Brand New Day also hit $40 million in domestic pre-sales, though it reached that mark around 40 days out with tickets available less than a week before release.
  • Directors Joe and Anthony Russo employed an 'improvisation-based' approach to production; the film unites the X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Avengers while introducing Robert Downey as Victor.
  • Despite online debates regarding production updates, excitement for the Phase Six tentpole remains high; even with Before Avengers Endgame: Encore promising additional footage, fans prioritize new stories.
