Pathé reports 27,000 Avengers: Doomsday ticket sales in four hours

The sale is due to begin at 12:00 on 5 October and cover cinemas and theatres across the Netherlands, according to Nieuws.nl, which attributes the announcement to Disney. The outlet says the film will be shown from 16 December. [1]

Nieuws.nl also reports that US advance-ticket sales exceeded $50 million over several months. It says $16.5 million of that was spent in the first 24 hours after tickets went on sale there on 21 July. [1]

Disney and cinema chain Vue are also planning a fan day on 16 December, Nieuws.nl reports. An Amsterdam cinema is set to be given a Doctor Doom theme, with a special message from the cast before the film. [1]

Update

Pathé sold nearly 6,000 tickets for December screenings of *Avengers: Doomsday* in the first half-hour of advance sales, a spokesperson for the cinema chain told the ANP news agency, according to Nieuws.nl. Sales opened across Dutch cinemas and theatres at noon on Monday, 5 October. The reported figure covers Pathé, not all Dutch cinemas. [2]

Nieuws.nl also reported that the website stalled several times as fans tried to buy tickets shortly after sales opened. The Pathé spokesperson said the chain expected sales to continue strongly. [2]

Update

Pathé says it sold more than 27,000 tickets for *Avengers: Doomsday* in the first four hours of Dutch advance sales on Monday, 5 October. According to Nieuws.nl, that matched the number of *Avengers: Endgame* tickets sold at Pathé during its first 24 hours of advance sales. The comparison is between sales at the cinema chain, not worldwide ticket sales. [3]
