Some theaters have already begun adding showtimes for Avengers: Doomsday's Infinity Vision screenings, even though Doomsday Tickets are not supposed to go live until Monday, July 20, 2026. The early listings have put fans on alert before the sale window even opens.
That matters because the movie has become a magnet for panic buying before a single ticket is available. @SavetheKND said he had put $200 in Regal and was worried his theater might not be chosen for Infinity Vision, while others warned that ticketing sites could buckle as soon as sales begin. One fan put it bluntly: trying to get Avengers Doomsday tickets when they first go live will be hell.
Joe Russo and Anthony Russo are directing the film, which is led by Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth. Avengers: Doomsday is set to hit theaters on December 18, 2026, giving fans a long runway to argue over which screens will carry the premium format and which will not. The early showtime additions suggest theaters are already testing demand ahead of the official sale date.
The friction is familiar. Avengers: Endgame overwhelmed ticketing demand in 2019 and caused sites such as Fandango and AMC Theaters to crash, and that memory is now driving the chatter around this release. Fans are not just waiting for tickets; they are waiting to see which theaters will actually get Infinity Vision and whether the systems can survive the rush when Monday arrives.
The answer is still only partly known: the sale is scheduled for July 20, but some theaters have already moved first, and that makes the next round of updates the key one. If more listings appear before then, the scramble will only grow louder.
