So am I crazy to think that Avemgers Doomsday is gonna be one of the biggest movie ever if not the biggest.EVERYONE WILL BE IN IT.What are your thoughts on this, will it beat Endgame?
No. Sure Doomsday will be big but people keep forgetting that the reason Endgame made so much money was because of the goodwill the MCU had going into that finale. It does not have that anymore
BanditYT122026-01-21 21:46
Yeah you right about that it was like more leading into that finale but I dont know I have high hopes lol
Connobar2026-01-21 21:43
Unless they make the screens larger, it’s just going to be the same size as the other movies.
BanditYT122026-01-21 21:46
😂😂😂
Morgoth18142026-01-21 21:43
No way would it beat IW and Endgame in terms of attention, excitement and impact. Not even sure it will be considered as big as the first Avengers movie.
BanditYT122026-01-21 21:48
Hmm maybe but like evryone will be back
UnpredictiveList2026-01-21 21:59
You forget, casual audiences don’t care and they’re the ones that get £1b box offices, not the direct fanbase.
I’d love to see the numbers, but I would be tempted to say that only 50% of people that saw endgame have seen an MCU film since. Though - Spiderman could fuck up my logic.
Nonadventures2026-01-21 21:44
I feel like Doomsday is gonna be pivotal. If it does not do unfathomably well (and that's much harder than it was 7 years ago), people will consider the Big Tent Superhero Crossover Era over.
TheNiceWasher2026-01-21 21:45
Will it even beat last year's Jurassic Park...
FerrusManlyManus2026-01-21 21:46
No way dude. Won’t beat Endgame. Won’t beat many other top grossing movies either, especially when adjusting for inflation.
Did you see 2025? Superhero movies all underperformed. Superman made a small profit. Fantastic 4 probably broke even barely. Thunderbolts and Cap 4 lost money.
In some international markets interest in superhero movies have cratered. Big movies in general, on average aren’t having as high grosses before when you adjust for inflation.
1.8 worldwide is in the cards I think, if it is received well.
BanditYT122026-01-21 21:51
Idk maybe u are right but Doomsday is like bigger and more hyped than like these you mentioned
Big_Life_9472026-01-21 22:05
The only way I can see MCU bouncing back at the box office is if Doomsday has an ending as crazy as Infinity War which causes enough hype to set up the sequel “Avengers Secret Wars” to be a mega hit
BaconHammer90002026-01-21 21:47
it’s going to make house party look like house party 2
ItsMeBenedickArnold2026-01-21 21:47
I think Secret Wars will be the big blow up after Doomsdays success.
m1nkbaby2026-01-21 21:49
agreed!
FlyingSquirrel562026-01-21 21:47
No, even if it is a better movie than Endgame it could never have the same impact as that movie had
Soltronus2026-01-21 21:54
We'll be lucky (and I'll be satisfied) if it's not utter garbage.
Like a lot of people have said, the MCU was built upon a framework of good will and patient build-up.
Sure, there were a handful of stinkers, but they were usually the exception.
They've become the rule now.
We also haven't seen most of these returning mainstays in close to a decade, and there's going to be a lot of new faces, too.
That's a lot to balance, and difficult to pull off for a studio at the top of their game, which I don't need to tell you, is not the MCU anymore.
That being said, if Doomsday is at least passable, then anything is possible.
Wezza172026-01-21 21:55
No 😅
Eric_T_Meraki2026-01-21 21:55
Post pandemic audiences are more willing to wait a few months to see a movie on streaming these days. Also Marvel track record post Endgame hasn't been great to get the general fans excited like back then. It'll be big but not nearly as big as IW and EG.
Type_1002026-01-21 21:56
Doomsday, I have my doubts.
Secret Wars, potentially if they play their cards right.
I'm honestly more excited for the comic accurate X-Men compared to Doom since his only interaction with the Fantastic 4 is with baby Franklin in a PCS.
MutinyIPO2026-01-21 21:57
The problem is that roughly 50-75% of the “everyone” in this movie is someone from a movie that disappointed. Hell, people probably still love Thor, but even he had a disappointment.
IMO its ceiling is Infinity War, and that’s *very, very* optimistic.
chaoticbadgood2026-01-21 21:58
I asked google and it said gone with the wind was the biggest movie of all time adjusted for inflation and its from the 1930s. That will be hard to beat
blueblurz942026-01-21 22:00
Sure it’ll easily do 1-1.5 billion, but even with today’s sky high ticket prices I don’t see its worldwide box office gross cracking 2 billion without seriously good marketing and great reviews.
BA_BA_YA_GA2026-01-21 22:00
About doomsday, i think its dumb AF to bring back RDJ. Why, so he can be from another timeline/universe? They should of just went with Mads.
HappycatAF2026-01-21 22:02
The biggest factor on whether the film will break box office records is…
whether it gets released in China.
All other major territories are shrinking in box office attendance, but China is growing fast and is now the largest film market.
All it takes is for US-China relations to deteriorate or for a high profile actor on the cast to say something negative and it can swipe $800million+ off that projected box office causing it to be a net loss after production costs. We have 11 months, it’s going to be interesting.
Big_Life_9472026-01-21 22:02
The reason Endgame did so well is because of the way Infinity War ended and set it up. The hype from just Infinity War’s post-credit tease was enough to make people go see Captain Marvel and it made a billion dollars at the box office.
Doomsday doesn’t have that same hype, however if it’s really good it might set up Avengers Secret Wars to be a mega hit.
RihoSucks2026-01-21 22:26
The theater business has changed post pandemic. People don't go to movies as much, several foreign markets arent gonna be invested in the release and the mcu has lost some of its mainstream fandom. I just genuinely cant see it being bigger than the last 2 avengers even if it ends up being a better movie.
lya18642026-01-21 22:39
Kevin Feige is super focused on Doomsday and Secret Wars, plus the Russo brothers said that Doomsday will be the biggest movie they've ever made. After hearing that, I have no more doubts that this movie will be incredible.
justduett2026-01-21 23:00
Definitely won't beat Endgame. Secret Wars may have a super slim chance to compete with Endgame ***IF and ONLY IF*** Doomsday lands the plane perfectly, leaves everyone's excitement at a 13 and leads into a movie that is far and away the best MCU film ever produced.
Endgame was the culmination of a phenomenon that was rolling faster than any train could ever hope to travel. Marvel could do no wrong in those last couple to few years leading up to Endgame and the MCU was ALL building in one direction, from multiple different angles.
Then Disney+ happened, and Covid happened, and MCU oversaturation/fatigue happened. Then Majors. Then Disney leadership shake-ups. Then multiple Marvel pivots, re-evaluations of programming, blah blah blah. Not being a negative Nancy, but Marvel has quite a hole to dig out of with Doomsday, so it's going to take a miracle to do that and then to rebuild all the favor they had leading into Endgame.
TDStarchild2026-01-22 01:03
Doomsday’s floor is like $1.5B worldwide. Might get close to Infinity War’s $2B if it’s great, but I doubt it touches Endgame
Now if Brand New Day and Doomsday are both very well received, like previous Spider-Man and Avengers films, then Secret Wars will have a shot to be well over $2B if it’s just as great
SenSei_Buzzkill2026-01-22 01:25
I have a hard time even remembering the MCU is still going
season-of-loss2026-01-22 01:37
Sadly i don't think so.
I was there since 2008 when i was in college all through the hype peak of endgame.
And even though i'm still a huge mcu fan today, we're far from what it was.
Defiant-Band45732026-01-22 04:19
Not everyone will be in it. As a matter of fact if you are not in it and you are on the movie side, then you can assume Marvel doesn't want them back. Elizabeth Olsen says she is not in it. Natalie Portman has never been asked to do one of these films. I really wonder why they brought her back. She has been treated like trash by Marvel and I wonder why they brought her back. Was it really just to kill her off? I don't think it will even do Infinity War business.
