Advance Tickets for Marvel's Next Blockbuster Top $50 Million Before a Single Trailer Drops in Theaters

Disney has reported that "Avengers: Doomsday," the next installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe from Burbank-based Marvel Studios, has already generated $50 million in pre-sale ticket purchases. The figure was reached three months ahead of the film's release date. Marvel Studios, headquartered a short drive from Beverly Hills, has built the Avengers franchise into one of the industry's most consistent box office draws. The early sales suggest strong anticipation for the studio's upcoming release well before its theatrical debut.
