Avengers: Doomsday is already generating seismic buzz ahead of its December 18 release, with early projections suggesting it could open with $360 million in China — surpassing the $330.5 million debut of Avengers: Endgame in 2019. That figure, if confirmed, would mark a record for any Hollywood film in the Chinese market and fuel speculation about a $1 billion global opening weekend, a feat only Endgame has achieved so far.
The Russo brothers’ latest Marvel entry is positioned as a franchise reset after the cancellation of the Kang storyline, now pivoting to a multiverse-spanning showdown centered on Doctor Doom, whose threat looms over all realities. The film unites heroes from Earth-616, the Avengers, Wakandans, and New Avengers. With the Fantastic Four from Earth-828 and the X-Men from Earth-10005, forcing them to cross dimensions to stop the collapse of existence itself.
According to trade sources quoted by Koimoi, the movie has already reached a major milestone in worldwide pre-sales, though its performance will also depend on how Dune 3 performs globally. China remains one of the most critical overseas markets for big-budget blockbusters, where Marvel’s superhero films have long enjoyed strong fan engagement.
