More than 27,000 tickets for Avengers: Doomsday were sold at Pathé within four hours for screenings in December, according to a cinema chain spokesperson. That matched the number sold for Avengers: Endgame in its first 24 hours, which had previously held the record at Pathé. The total later rose to 50,000 tickets sold in the Netherlands within 24 hours. Disney said this set a record for the presale of a film in the Netherlands.
