Avengers: Doomsday locked at a $200–260M domestic 3-day opening weekend (Dec 18–20 2026), finishing #1. Long-lead tracking projects ~$241.6M — inside the band. Confidence 60%; Dune: Messiah same-day release and no-IMAX constraint are the key risk factors.
Long-lead tracking midpoint ~$241.6M (inside band). Release date Dec 18 2026 confirmed. Dune: Messiah opens same day; no IMAX allocation for Doomsday. #1 finish is the secondary claim.
We lock two linked claims: (a) Avengers: Doomsday domestic 3-day opening weekend (Dec 18–20 2026) falls in [$200M, $260M]; and (b) it finishes #1 on the Comscore domestic weekend chart. Long-lead tracking projects ~$241.6M — bracketed by our band. Confidence 60% on the joint claim.
Long-lead tracking (Deadline/Comscore, as of Jun 2026) projects ~$241.6M for the Dec 18–20 weekend — inside our $200–260M band with room on both sides. Avengers brand + Disney marketing infrastructure anchors the floor. The risk factors: Dune: Messiah opens same day (Nov 19 originally, shifted to Dec 18), and Doomsday reportedly carries no IMAX screens, suppressing the premium-format ceiling. The $260M cap reflects those two constraints. Resolves against Box Office Mojo (Comscore) domestic 3-day estimate published by Dec 21 2026.
RAOSCAFF locks P-26 on 2026-06-21, before the December 18 release. Both legs (band + #1) must resolve YES for a full score.
If the release date shifts from Dec 18, the resolution window shifts to the actual opening weekend.
