‘Avengers: Doomsday’ Presales Keep Climbing as Mexico and Turkey Go Wild
Marvel’s fortunes have been shakier in recent years, so every sign of fan excitement for its biggest team-up gets noticed. The film is now being measured almost daily against the record-breaking summer run of ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’. The early signs suggest fans are showing up before the lights even go down.
Tickets went on sale for ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ on July 20, and the film generated $16.5 million in advance ticket sales from about 1,000 domestic theaters. General advance sales opened roughly 4 months before release, while ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ began selling tickets only about 45 days out. That head start makes every comparison tricky, but it has not slowed the momentum.
The latest numbers come from abroad. In Mexico, a tracker reported that at 34 days out, ‘Doomsday’ has passed ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ as the biggest presale title in his sample, with all locations above 50% occupancy and most above 60%. Meanwhile, daily ticket sales in Turkey are now 82.3% higher than on November 10.

The Turkish figures come from a single major cinema chain, so they work better as a snapshot than a national total. Even so, they are striking. Daily seat-tracking data out of Turkey recorded a 42.4% single-day jump immediately after the ‘VisionQuest’ finale, which revealed that Wanda Maximoff survived the collapse of Mount Wundagore.
The tracker also claims the film’s latest daily increase is more than 1,000% higher than that of ‘Dune: Part Three’, its December box office rival. Both movies open on December 18, a showdown fans have nicknamed ‘Dunesday’. Presales suggest the Marvel film’s opening-weekend projection could be 3.2 to 4 times larger than that of ‘Dune: Part Three’.

Domestic presales crossed $50 million with more than 3 months to go, and over 70% of sales went to Infinity Vision tickets. The company also said worldwide presales crossed $100 million on October 6. A later Forbes report put the global figure at $125 million, with $65 million from domestic theaters and $60 million overseas.
That total still trails the $130 million ‘Avengers: Endgame’ sold and the $150 million that ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ holds as Marvel’s presale record. In Brazil and the United Kingdom, ‘Doomsday’ became the fastest film ever to pass $1 million in pre-release ticket sales. The film is also expected to land in more than 4,000 North American screens.
Estimated ticket counts show the same pattern, with Brazil at 1.05 million tickets, the United States at 3.21 million and Mexico at 1.21 million. Earlier this fall, Mexican sales were already running at nearly 89% of the total opening-day sales of ‘Brand New Day’.
The crazy surge continues: Avengers: Doomsday’s daily ticket sales in Turkey are now 82.3% higher than on November 10, while its latest daily increase is over 1,000% higher than Dune: Part Three’s…..

It is worth treating these milestones with caution. ‘Brand New Day’ began selling tickets only 45 days before release and went on to open with a record $360 million domestically and $927 million worldwide. It later crossed $2 billion globally after just 3 weekends.
Some have called the comparison imprecise, since ‘Doomsday’ has had a much longer sales window, and presales measure intention rather than guaranteed turnout. Presales also tend to spike when tickets go live, cool off, and surge again in the final week before release. A tracker comparison at the same number of days before release is the fairest yardstick, and on that measure the film has matched or passed its summer predecessor in several samples.
The film faces another hurdle. It will not play in IMAX in the United States for the first 3 weeks because ‘Dune: Part Three’ has exclusivity. That rival has already seen dozens of opening-weekend sellouts for select IMAX 70mm screenings, so the stakes are real on both sides.
That makes the strength of the Infinity Vision sales even more important. AMC CEO Adam Aron said its premium on-sale brought about 3 times the ticketing traffic of the ‘Brand New Day’ launch. If the momentum holds, the final weeks before release could reshape the conversation around superhero fatigue, and the ‘VisionQuest’ surge showed how much a single reveal can move the needle.
He used to be different. Avengers: Doomsday arrives in theaters everywhere December 18. Get your tickets now: https://t.co/J5PUbxvAkc https://t.co/OUutSMZneq
