The postponement of “Avengers: Doomsday” might just propel the Marvel Cinematic Universe film beyond the prestigious $2 billion mark at the global box office. Earlier, it appeared as though every MCU movie was on track to surpass the $1 billion threshold at the worldwide box office, or come very close to this remarkable achievement. It seems that the conclusion of the Infinity Saga had led us to believe that the franchise would consistently reign supreme at the box office.
Despite the fact that the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Multiverse Saga was designed to be eternal, it appears that its run may not last forever. While the MCU has faced challenges such as the impact of the pandemic causing certain films to underperform, even in recent years, some Marvel productions have struggled at the box office. I am optimistic that Avengers: Doomsday, a story that brings together Fox’s original X-Men, Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom, and numerous MCU heroes, has great potential for success at the box office. Following an unexpected move by Marvel, I believe the chances of Avengers: Doomsday grossing $2 billion have significantly increased.
Marvel Studios Has Delayed Avengers: Doomsday & Secret Wars
The MCU’s Movie Slate Shifts In A Major Way
One common criticism leveled against the Multiverse Saga is that it seems directionless, which I believe stems largely from the fact that there haven’t been any official Avengers movies – aside from Thunderbolts* – in Phases 4 and 5. However, this will change with Avengers: Doomsday, although we may have to wait a bit longer as Marvel Studios has postponed both Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.
| Every MCU Avengers Movie | |
|---|---|
| Movie | Release Date |
| The Avengers | 2012 |
| Avengers: Age of Ultron | 2015 |
| Avengers: Infinity War | 2018 |
| Avengers: Endgame | 2019 |
| Avengers: Doomsday | 2026 |
| Avengers: Secret Wars | 2027 |
Initially planned for release on May 1, 2026, and May 7, 2027, the two upcoming Avengers movies are now set to hit theaters on December 18, 2026 (for Avengers: Doomsday) and a year later on December 17, 2027 (for Avengers: Secret Wars). This departure from the usual late April/early May release schedule may take some getting used to for Marvel Cinematic Universe fans. Nevertheless, I believe this change could boost ticket sales for Avengers: Doomsday, maintaining the franchise’s successful trajectory at the box office.
The MCU’s Avengers Movies Have Been The Only Ones To Pass The $2 Billion Mark
The Avengers Franchise Has Helped Marvel Studios Cement The MCU’s Grip On The Box Office
It’s indisputable that the Avengers series holds the crown as the most successful franchise within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The release of 2012’s “The Avengers” revolutionized not only live-action superhero films but cinema in general. This groundbreaking movie served as proof that the MCU’s vision for a connected universe could thrive and yield substantial profits. According to Box Office Mojo, the global box office earnings of “The Avengers” amounted to an astounding 1.52 billion dollars. Although “Avengers: Age of Ultron” fell slightly short with a $1.4 billion box office, it was still a massive success compared to most films.
Despite wrapping up the Infinity Saga impressively within the Avengers series, the Marvel Cinematic Universe achieved a significant milestone with the release of 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame”. This film surpassed all predictions to earn an astounding $2.8 billion at the box office, making it the highest-grossing movie globally until James Cameron’s “Avatar” was re-released. The previous high-earner among MCU films, “Avengers: Infinity War”, had managed to rake in a massive $2 billion in 2018, just enough to surpass the impressive mark it aimed for. While no other MCU movies have yet crossed the $2 billion threshold, “Avengers: Doomsday” came close.
Spider-Man: No Way Home’s Success Is Encouraging For The Avengers Movies’ Box Office Hopes
The Spider-Man Trilogy Finale And The Upcoming Avengers Movies Share An Important Connection
As a passionate film enthusiast, I’ve got to say that Tom Holland’s “Spider-Man: No Way Home” was simply breathtaking, nearly matching the box office success of “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Endgame” by grossing an astounding $1.92 billion. Despite being released during the ongoing recovery from the pandemic, it managed to almost hit the coveted $2 billion mark without even being shown in China – a market that’s known for its massive influence on box office earnings. The return of Andrew Garfield’s and Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Men, along with iconic villains from their films, certainly didn’t hurt the movie’s popularity!
If Spider-Man: No Way Home had been released in China, it likely would have surpassed the $2 billion mark and exceeded the total gross of Avengers: Infinity War. Notably, Spider-Man: No Way Home premiered on December 17, 2021. Considering the success of the Spider-Man series and the impressive box office performance of the Avengers films within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), I speculate that Avengers: Doomsday could effortlessly surpass $2 billion, while even Avengers: Secret Wars might come close to matching Avengers: Endgame’s earnings.
