How Much Avengers: Doomsday Will Make At The Box Office

by

2026 promises a lot of great movies, but “Avengers: Doomsday” is generating the most buzz. The Marvel Cinematic Universe was once a guaranteed blockbuster machine, but its success has been uneven since “Avengers: Endgame,” so there’s a lot riding on “Doomsday.”

Marvel’s latest movies and shows haven’t felt as connected or exciting as the earlier phases. Because of this, many fans think the next Avengers movie might be a way to start the Marvel Cinematic Universe over, introducing new stories and breathing life back into the franchise.

Although it might seem unlikely to be a huge success, most people will probably still go see the new Marvel movie, even though initial reactions have been mixed. Being the first Avengers film in seven years, and releasing at a time when both Marvel and the movie industry are facing new challenges, makes its potential box office earnings hard to predict – and definitely worth paying attention to.

Avengers: Doomsday Is Marketing Itself As An Endgame Sequel

Though Avengers: Endgame felt like a conclusive ending for many Marvel Cinematic Universe storylines, the upcoming film Doomsday appears to be a follow-up of sorts. As a continuation of the Avengers saga, a connection to Endgame was expected, but the marketing materials are really emphasizing that link.

We’ve already seen Captain America admiring his suit from Endgame and having a touching moment with his child, and Thor thinking about his past fights. Although Professor X and the X-Men’s appearance in Avengers: Doomsday isn’t directly related to Endgame, the trailers have a similar sad and reflective mood, suggesting they’re revisiting the emotional impact of the previous Avengers film’s ending.

Sources indicate Marvel Studios and the Russo brothers are planning this new project as a continuation of previous films. This is logical, as Endgame was the last movie directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, and a connected story could also boost ticket sales.

Since the 2019 movie was a massive box office success – earning over $2 billion and ranking as one of the highest-grossing films ever – presenting Avengers: Doomsday as a direct sequel is the smartest way to ensure it also does well financially. This could help stabilize the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe after some recent instability.

The MCU Is Not The Same Box Office Juggernaut It Used To Be

For a while, Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films regularly earned over $1 billion at the box office – five out of the last six movies from Phase 3 did just that. However, that’s no longer a sure thing. Since 2019’s Spider-Man: Far From Home, only two MCU movies have crossed the $1 billion mark: Spider-Man: No Way Home and Deadpool & Wolverine.

The pandemic definitely affected movie attendance, particularly because some of the first films in Phase 4 were released on streaming services at the same time as in theaters. Plus, it seems audiences aren’t rushing to see every new movie like they used to, maybe because shows on Disney+ have become a priority for many.

2025 seemed to mark a turning point for Marvel movies in theaters. Both Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts failed to perform well at the box office, even though critics and fans generally liked Thunderbolts. While Fantastic Four: First Steps made a profit, earning over $520 million globally, it didn’t reach the high financial success Marvel had enjoyed in the past.

Adding to the challenges, Superman became the year’s top-earning superhero movie, highlighting that DC is a strong competitor to Marvel. This shift in the landscape means Marvel really needs Avengers: Doomsday to be a big success and restore its reputation.

Marvel’s Team Up Movies Are Still Guaranteed Hits

I still really believe in Marvel’s team-up movies, even with everything going on lately. It just seems like when all the heroes come together, people show up to see it. The solo movies? They’re easier to skip if you’re not a huge fan, especially if it’s a new character or team because they don’t always feel connected to the bigger picture. But a big team-up event? That almost always delivers at the box office.

While The Marvels didn’t perform as well as hoped, it’s important to remember its heroes weren’t as well-known as those in films like Deadpool & Wolverine, and the story didn’t have the same high stakes as the Avengers movies. Big Marvel films aren’t just movies – they’re major events, which is why audiences keep coming back for more, and Doomsday is expected to be no different.

Although the Marvel Cinematic Universe has faced some challenges lately, the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday is likely to be a huge financial success. The return of Chris Evans as Captain America and Robert Downey Jr. as a classic Marvel villain is a powerful combination that will likely draw audiences, despite recent box office results.

How Much Will Avengers: Doomsday Make?

As a big movie fan, I’ve been keeping a close eye on how Avengers: Doomsday is doing. While the MCU hasn’t been hitting quite the same numbers lately, team-up movies still tend to do really well. Plus, the film’s connection to Endgame definitely adds to the hype. Considering all of that, and looking at the current box office trends, I’d guess Avengers: Doomsday will probably finish somewhere between $1.5 and $1.9 billion worldwide. It’s still early, but that feels like a pretty solid estimate.

Even though both Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame earned over $2 billion, reaching that level of success is incredibly uncommon and will likely be hard to achieve again. Today’s movie audiences don’t usually go to theaters as often, and with interest in the Marvel Cinematic Universe decreasing since Endgame, it’s unlikely any future film will reach that same milestone.

The performance of Avatar: Fire & Ash illustrates a current trend in movie theaters. Although the film has earned over $1 million, it’s significantly behind the box office numbers of the original Avatar after almost a month in release. Achieving huge financial success is still possible, but it’s becoming increasingly difficult in today’s market.

Considering Deadpool & Wolverine has already made over $1.3 billion this year, Avengers: Doomsday should earn at least that much. With its big budget and extensive marketing, it’s likely to reach $1.5 billion, and while exceeding $2 billion would be a stretch, anything is possible with the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
