Avengers: Doomsday reportedly already outgrossed Supergirl in presales 6 weeks before release

Advance sales climb sharply

Comic Basics reported that Doomsday’s worldwide advance ticket sales had exceeded $125 million, putting the film close to Supergirl’s full global box office total. The comparison comes with an important distinction: advance sales are being measured against revenue from a completed theatrical run.

Premium-format tickets, excluding IMAX, went on sale in July. The film reportedly made $16.5 million in its first 24 hours, while tracking indicated worldwide presales passed $100 million on October 6 and continued to grow through the month.

Supergirl’s theatrical run

Supergirl, starring Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, finished its theatrical run with $126.4 million worldwide. Doomsday’s reported advance sales have therefore approached that total before the Marvel film’s release.

The article describes the milestone as striking but cautions that the two figures are not directly comparable. The sales estimates are based on third-party tracking.

A large Marvel ensemble

The cast includes Chris Evans as Steve Rogers, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson, Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, Paul Rudd as Scott Lang, Letitia Wright as Shuri, Tom Hiddleston as Loki and Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards. Returning X-Men actors include the late Sir Patrick Stewart as Professor Charles Xavier, Sir Ian McKellen as Magneto, James Marsden as Cyclops and Alan Cumming as Nightcrawler. Anthony Russo and Joe Russo are directing.

Release date and reporting caveat

Avengers: Doomsday is set to arrive exclusively in theaters on December 18, 2026. The reported advance-sales total is a snapshot ahead of that opening date, not a final box office result.

The story also describes the film as having about six weeks until release, while giving its release date as December 18, 2026. It does not provide a date for when the $125 million figure was reached.
