The teaser trailer for Avengers: Doomsday has shattered viewing records, amassing an astounding 503 million views within just 24 hours of its release.
Walt Disney Company Korea announced this milestone on Monday, simultaneously unveiling a captivating new poster for the highly anticipated film.
The buzz surrounding the teaser, which dropped on July 20, reached fever pitch as fans caught their first glimpse of Doctor Doom, portrayed by the incomparable Robert Downey Jr. The global response was nothing short of explosive, with Variety reporting that the trailer’s viewership skyrocketed to 503 million in its first day. This jaw-dropping figure not only sets a new Disney record for most-viewed trailer on opening day but also leaves the Deadpool and Wolverine trailer’s 365 million views in the dust.
The four trailers for Avengers: Doomsday that were released earlier have also surpassed 1 billion cumulative views.
If that weren’t enough to showcase the film’s drawing power, Avengers: Doomsday raked in a staggering 16.5 million USD in pre-sale tickets on its first day alone. This figure more than doubles the opening day pre-sales of Deadpool and Wolverine, which went on to gross 211 million USD in its North American debut.
Avengers: Doomsday marks the return of Robert Downey Jr. to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), this time trading in his Iron Man suit for the mantle of Doctor Doom. With the Russo brothers at the helm, who steered the original Avengers to box office glory, the star-studded cast includes Chris Hemsworth, Vanessa Kirby, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Letitia Wright, Paul Rudd, and Wyatt Russell. Mark your calendars – this cinematic event is set to dominate theaters this December.
