Re-releasing Infinity War would not serve the intended purpose of nudging Endgame [back into the "#1 grossing movie of all time" slot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_films), which is the obvious reason this is being done.
Avatar bumped it back out of the #1 slot when it was re-released for the same reason prior to Avatar 2.
And if this succeeds, expect a gratuitous re-release of Avatar before Avatar 4.

PlanetG30002025-12-06 13:59
Because Disney wanted to be able to promote Avatar 2 as the "Sequel to the highest grossing movie of all time" and they want to be able to promote Doomsday as the "Sequel to the highest grossing movie of all time" because it is good for headlines and publicity buzz.
Overall_Affect_27822025-12-05 19:57
No need, because seems to confirm the rumor Doomsday is a direct sequel to Endgame.

Endgame was the highest grossing movie of all time until Avatar got rereleased in theaters. Re releasing endgame may give it the nudge it needs to get #1.
Hufflepuffpassmethej2025-12-05 19:50
Makes zero sense, the people in charge have zero clue what they’re doing because if you were going to play ANY movie before Doomsday it 1000% needed to be either Fantastic Four or Thunderbolts, preferably both, ya know, the ONLY two projects that actually feed directly into Doomsday…
myghostflower2025-12-05 19:51
yes but money!
Training_Pirate10002025-12-05 19:53
I never understood this. You don’t think the suits have algorithms chugging along calculating what the general audience is most interested in? OR, and hear me out, Doomsday connects a lot more to Endgame than you think.

kneeco282025-12-05 19:55
Beyond everything else you're wrong about, you think there are a non-nominal number of people who haven't seen Thunderbolts and fantastic four, who are not going to watch them between now and September, and in September 2026 are going to pay to see them in theaters?
InternetDad2025-12-05 19:56
Endgame is the second highest grossing film of all time (not counting adjustment for inflation) and is the biggest-scale MCU movie to date. Why not put it back out for a limited run before people go into Doomsday?
They arent doing this to reiterate current plot points. They're giving people the opportunity to relive the experience that, by that point, will be almost 8 years ago, before seeing another groundbreaking MCU experience.
cthompson072025-12-05 19:58

Or maybe they’ve written Doomsday as a direct sequel to Endgame, where that’s the only movie that will actually be necessary viewing.
RedPanda18022025-12-05 20:02
I know it’s a hot take here but Thunderbolts was a depressing movie and not worth watching again. I’m glad there moving away from it
dweeeebus2025-12-05 20:02
Those movies were *just* in theaters. You don't need to re-release a movie in the same year it originally came out.
Alternative-Bat-24622025-12-05 19:53
I’m good…
Also maybe if I were more excited about doomsday from the movies they had built up to it on. But really it’s more a beginning than an end.
blenderider2025-12-05 20:23
See you in the opening weekend movie release thread.
Any-Transition952025-12-05 20:40
I'm still confident that the Russos will be able to balance the nostalgia factor (sequel to Endgame, RDJ, X-Men), the new stuff that's plot relevant (F4, Thunderbolts), while still paying off the setups in the past 4 years that's been waiting to be resolved (Loki, Shang Chi, etc). They've proven that they can handle ensemble casts before, I think they'll do a decent job with Doomsday.
Alternative-Bat-24622025-12-05 20:56
I’m sure doomsday will be great. I have no interest in seeing Endgame in the theater again in September.

Ducie2025-12-05 20:59
Forgotten by the public, overrated by its fans.
That movie was fine, but looked muddy AF and had zero charisma. I really liked the trauma angle but aside from that it had few memorabele moments. Felt (and looked!) like a Covid movie. It wasn't the best since Endgame (Shang Chi or NWH is) but also far from the worst. A solid 7/10.
TL;DR not really worth of an Avenger-titled movie.
cabbage162025-12-05 20:27
Yeah. Ultron was a direct sequel to the first Avengers movie, this isn't really anything new
Icy_Smoke_7332025-12-05 21:09
It is crazy how The Avengers (2012) and the entire Infinity Saga leading to Endgame (2019) took around **7 years.** The same gap between Endgame (2019) and Doomsday (2026).
heroinsteve2025-12-05 21:59
That’s truly insane to me. I blame a lack of commitment more than anything. Seems they had plans for shows and movies and things stringing together but they kept changing their plans or stretched too thin and were worried so much about super hero fatigue or underwhelming shows instead of sticking to a plan. I wonder how many of these shows movies that didn’t have proper endings are just going to be forgotten.
Basically the only major successes they have had since Endgame are just nostalgia being packaged as an entire movie and that’s not a sustainable long term strategy. Eventually you have to make new things for people to be nostalgic for.
I wonder if they could do some interesting director cuts and make some shows like Loki into a couple films. Then they wouldn’t feel hesitant to commit to those shows for future films.
geek_of_nature2025-12-06 01:37
And that's including a year off for Covid too. The official start of the Multiverse Saga was Wandavision in 2021, which Doomsday will only be six years after.
TomClancy58732025-12-05 20:09

Herogeen2025-12-05 20:42

dataresissimist2025-12-05 21:05

So the nice happy moment that ended a 20+ film saga, a character arc ending for one of the most popular characters in the franchise, and the final happy moment of the (at a time) highest grossing film ever, is going to actually being a really bad thing that causes issues and a reason for another film.

Zoombini222025-12-05 20:08
Opposing late stage capitalist big tech consolidation and anti-art practices is the complete opposite of reactionary, actually.
GamingTatertot2025-12-05 20:11
Saying “bold of them to assume we will still have cinemas in September” is reactionary doomerism considering that:
A) The deal won’t be fully complete by then and there’s still a chance it falls through anyhow
B) There are still other studios making film for cinemas too. Warner Bros is not the keystone that will collapse the whole system in 9 months.
It’s good to be against late-stage capitalism and anti-art practices, but let’s not act like what you say isn’t incorrect, over-exaggerated, and reactionary. Also being against those things and being reactionary are not mutually exclusive either.
Zoombini222025-12-05 20:14
Cinemas will shutter without meaningful exclusivity windows on the 26% of the market currently held by WB, which Netflix has already admitted is the plan. Other movie studios will get hit hard by the theatrical model and its revenue vanishing, which will open the door for Netflix to try to purchase Disney and/or Universal as well to further their monopoly power.
Zoombini222025-12-05 20:18
Also, reactionary means right-wing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactionary
PresentationDull77072025-12-05 20:10
Warner bros isn’t the only company with movies that go to cinemas
Zoombini222025-12-05 20:16
There wont be cinemas for Disney to put films in if WB doesnt continue to do exclusivity windows. The margins are already very thin.

I’m still really disappointed that we didn’t get a real resolution to Infinity War Thanos.
Since he appeared at the end of A1 I had been waiting for him to be wearing the Gauntlet while the Avengers encircled him and descended upon him.
Endgame brought us a Thanos we didn’t know and everyone basically still did the hubris mistake of soloing him (because the Russos wanted it) and at most three people teamed up on him
bigChungus12372025-12-05 21:41
Thanos is Thanos. With or without a gauntlet, he is a powerhouse and an extremely interesting character to watch. Infinity War Thanos died by the Avengers, which was always going to happen

Maybe the rerelease can help it regain the #1 spot again? lol 😂 Probably not. It’s just under $125 million behind Avatar.

That’s 100% why they’re doing it. Same reason Avatar was re-released when it lost the top spot.
Being able to market your movies as “highest grossing movie of all time” is pretty big.
Any-Transition952025-12-05 20:35

SeekerVash2025-12-06 02:40
I think Avatar's safe.
Given the box office trends for the MCU since 2023, it won't approach the more than $100 million it needs. It'll pull in the MCU Superfans the first weekend and drop off a cliff afterwards, probably a \~25-30 million weekend and then out.
TheUmbrellaMan12025-12-06 03:25
People here are underestimating just how well Cameron's re-releases do. Just take the Avatar 2 re-release earlier this year. It was a one-week limited release. It earned $21.8 million at the box office, beating Dwayne Johnson's The Smashing Machine.
As you're saying, $25-30 million take for Endgame seems far more reasonable and realistic. Unlike Avatar movies and Titanic, Marvel movies - by design - weren't sold to the audiences as "you gotta see this in the best format possible and if you don't see the movie in theatre, you'll regret it". I'll risk downvotes but everybody gotta remember that Endgame was primarily marketed as end of the saga and "see it early and avoid spoilers!" Endgame's re-release doesn't come with novelty.
SeekerVash2025-12-06 06:11
Agreed.
Plus, Avatar has the 3D factor in play too. It's a facet that cannot be recreated at home and is staggeringly impressive.
Endgame doesn't have that same hook to really pull in the general audience. It has to rely on investment, and the last several movies have demonstrated that's not there right now. Especially with how available it is to stream, I just don't see a driver here for the general audience.

It probably will be. All of the Avengers movies are possible to watch without any of the other movies for context (bar Civil War, which is basically Avengers lite.) Of course you will have a worse experience and miss many references but everything important is explained within the movies
You can easily go:
Avengers
Age of Ulton
Civil War
Infinity War
Endgame

Phuzz152025-12-05 20:32
Just once? No Infinity War? Hear me out -
Both films released in April - could've done something like a month's worth of action in May or June, right before summer, slam Infinity War the first week and Endgame the second weekend, and repeat that for the last two weekends. Kick off the summer and build hype before Doomsday. Maybe even re-do the event again through next Thanksgiving or something before December 2026 drops Doomsday (assuming no delays).
Maybe even off a double-feature one-sitting promo at some places with an old school intermission between the films. Theatres would be booming. I know I'd so be down to take a few edibles and slam Infinity War and Endgame back to back again on a big screen

Let's dethrone Avatar....again

Remember about a year ago when there was a rumor that the Russos would try to ignore a lot of things from Phases 4 and 5 in Doomsday to make the film feel more like a direct Endgame sequel? It looks like that's true.

One possibility: Dr. Doom comes from the universe that lost their Thanos to the time portal and Stark's wish was only to erase their enemies without creating a paradox. So in a sense, the Loki's multiverse is also part of Stark's wish.

A good excuse to get back the title from Avatar.

I already saw this movie 6 times in theaters, and I'll probably be seeing it again.

"Hey everyone, remember that time we constructed a story over ten years that culiminated in one movie to deliver a lot of narrative and emotional payoff? Can you please pretend that Doomsday has that same kind of build up and pay off in spite of our disconnected storytelling in the last 5 years? Thank you."

I don't think audiences will have the attention span for another Thanos type build up. They tried with kang but it fell flat. The Thanos buildup was epic in its execution.
remerdy12025-12-05 23:02
The Thanos build up wasn't as crazy as people think. Truth be told most Marvel movies up to that point were self contained, with maybe an easter egg or two that they'd throw in later & make sense of. Post end-game though expectations were high but instead of taking a few years to plan things out they decided to continue throwing shit at the wall seeing what stuck, but with 3-5 projects a year

Be prepared to see a rerelease of Avatar around that time.

Get it Disney!
CalliesBricks2025-12-05 20:58
My excitement cannot be contained!!!!!! Please release Infinity War as well.

hope UK theatres are included in this!

“Hey guys let’s all rerelease part 2 but not rerelease part 1”

Why not have a double feature with IW included
warblade72025-12-05 22:32
I think this speaks more to the weak reception of phase 4,5,6 than any connection to Endgame. This has marketing written all over it and now they need to hang membaberries in front of us to come back.
Having said that though, if they have a solid story and great action I do have hope for Doomsday but this approach is making me more skeptical then not.
Infinite_Response1132025-12-05 23:46
Can someone explain the significance of Doomsday reportedly being a "direct" sequel to Endgame?
Like does that mean there won't be any post-Endgame characters like Yelena or even TV show Loki?
If they're still going to be in it, then I don't see why this being a direct sequel matters--they'd still be building off phases 4 and 5.
eagc72025-12-06 02:45
Post-Endgame characters are in the movie
It just means is that the plot of Endgame is significant for Doomsday and Doomsday picks up on the story of Endgame, but it does not mean that everything released after it is ignored or discarded (Rumors are that Steve Rogers choosing to live in an alternate timeline is what will cause the incursions thus that is what will kick off the plot for Doomsday, so if that is true you can see how Endgame leads straight to Doomsday).
Think like with IW and Endgame, Endgame is a direct follow up to IW, but it does not ignore Ant-Man 2 and Captain Marvel.

You could not live with your own failure. Where did that bring you? Back to me.

Avatar bumped it back out of the #1 slot when it was re-released for the same reason prior to Avatar 2.
And if this succeeds, expect a gratuitous re-release of Avatar before Avatar 4.
For a re-release of a few weeks its not doable
But at least Will get more than 2,8B
Which Will though? Why does he get so much?
Just that there is a thoroughline from Endgame to all the movies / shows the characters appearing in Doomsday starred in to Doomsday / Secret Wars.
They arent doing this to reiterate current plot points. They're giving people the opportunity to relive the experience that, by that point, will be almost 8 years ago, before seeing another groundbreaking MCU experience.
Oh god, you're right... there's my dose of "well, don't I feel old now" for the day.
Also maybe if I were more excited about doomsday from the movies they had built up to it on. But really it’s more a beginning than an end.
That movie was fine, but looked muddy AF and had zero charisma. I really liked the trauma angle but aside from that it had few memorabele moments. Felt (and looked!) like a Covid movie. It wasn't the best since Endgame (Shang Chi or NWH is) but also far from the worst. A solid 7/10.
TL;DR not really worth of an Avenger-titled movie.
Basically the only major successes they have had since Endgame are just nostalgia being packaged as an entire movie and that’s not a sustainable long term strategy. Eventually you have to make new things for people to be nostalgic for.
I wonder if they could do some interesting director cuts and make some shows like Loki into a couple films. Then they wouldn’t feel hesitant to commit to those shows for future films.
Great.
A) The deal won’t be fully complete by then and there’s still a chance it falls through anyhow
B) There are still other studios making film for cinemas too. Warner Bros is not the keystone that will collapse the whole system in 9 months.
It’s good to be against late-stage capitalism and anti-art practices, but let’s not act like what you say isn’t incorrect, over-exaggerated, and reactionary. Also being against those things and being reactionary are not mutually exclusive either.
Since he appeared at the end of A1 I had been waiting for him to be wearing the Gauntlet while the Avengers encircled him and descended upon him.
Endgame brought us a Thanos we didn’t know and everyone basically still did the hubris mistake of soloing him (because the Russos wanted it) and at most three people teamed up on him
Being able to market your movies as “highest grossing movie of all time” is pretty big.
I feel like I see a lot of comments that aren't saying this \^\^ and instead are complaining about something else. Cmon fans lets go support!
ftfy
Given the box office trends for the MCU since 2023, it won't approach the more than $100 million it needs. It'll pull in the MCU Superfans the first weekend and drop off a cliff afterwards, probably a \~25-30 million weekend and then out.
As you're saying, $25-30 million take for Endgame seems far more reasonable and realistic. Unlike Avatar movies and Titanic, Marvel movies - by design - weren't sold to the audiences as "you gotta see this in the best format possible and if you don't see the movie in theatre, you'll regret it". I'll risk downvotes but everybody gotta remember that Endgame was primarily marketed as end of the saga and "see it early and avoid spoilers!" Endgame's re-release doesn't come with novelty.
Plus, Avatar has the 3D factor in play too. It's a facet that cannot be recreated at home and is staggeringly impressive.
Endgame doesn't have that same hook to really pull in the general audience. It has to rely on investment, and the last several movies have demonstrated that's not there right now. Especially with how available it is to stream, I just don't see a driver here for the general audience.
You can easily go:
Avengers
Age of Ulton
Civil War
Infinity War
Endgame
