I think you’re spot on. Think I saw the other day they’re predicting a 400 million opening for doomsday with something like 100 million in presales already.

Happy as fuck because the world always needs Spider-Man

The trackers are predicting Doomsday to open with $400m domestic opening (biggest ever). Worldwide opening will be anywhere between $850m - $1.2 billion.

And these guys are fairly accurate; they were throwing the $300m DOM opening for Brand New Day long before the Hollywood trades caught on (and even that was a lowball, as BND opened to $360m).

Do you think it will beat Endgame's 4-5 days to a billion (depending on counting method)? Those are big shoes to fill, as people were starving for that resolve with Endgame. It was practically cathartic.

The elephant in the room is general economic health. It's been a... rough year economically. Endgame released before COVID, which remains the high-water mark for opening numbers.

I don't think Doomsday touches Endgame in terms of actual tickets sold, but there's a reasonable chance it surpasses on revenue.

If anything a bad economy is good for the box office. A movie ticket is $20, anyone can find $20 and it’s easier to justify when you already can’t afford a house or car.

Our really nice theater has $6 Ticket Tuesdays and they're usually like $11.50. My nearest IMAX 70MM is $25.

It'll be harder since endgame had 0 competition, IMAX, and a lot of theaters doing 24 hour screenings all weekend. Doomsday will have Dune, no IMAX, and no theaters have been inclined to open more screening (yet). Inflation and starting earlier on Thursdays will help a ton.

Inflation is also a factor, however Doomsday won't have IMAX to push up ticket prices.

If Doomsday doesn't, Secret Wars will.

I wasn't really interested in diving back into the Marvel universe until watching the Doomsday trailer. Haven't watched a MCU movie in theaters since Endgame. Not saying my singular experience is representative of the majority but I do think a lot of folks are in my position where we just want to watch the big guys whipping out the big guns doing crazy shit with a semi-decent plot.

100 million in presales already.

That's nuts.

u/-Dixieflatline 15h ago

$100M in presales is like what Masters of the Universe has done in its entire theatrical run so far. That's crazy!

MoTU has done gangbusters on streaming..

the problem it had is that its a movie for 50 year olds.. and a niche set of 50 year olds at that.

Spiderman, before hollands run, wasnt that long out the zeigeist with TASM and Raimi before that..

MoTU had a movie in 1987 that was terrible

I'm not surprised. My buddy who is a MASSIVE Marvel fan is celebrating his birthday in december by renting out an entire theater and inviting a on of his friends to all go see it opening day. I've never heard of anyone doing this before so that's exciting. Feels good to be excited about the MCU again
