Avengers: Doomsday Is Poised to Own 2026's Biggest Domestic Opening Week

Avengers: Doomsday: likely (75%)

Spider-Man: Brand New Day's dramatic collapse today effectively hands the crown to Doomsday — but this market has crossed conviction thresholds six times, and the gap between the opening-week and opening-weekend contracts suggests residual uncertainty about the final margin.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day Will Be 2026's Top-Grossing Film

Spider-Man: Brand New Day: very likely (92%)

The Odyssey: leaning yes (60%)

The Odyssey has reclaimed its peak position while You Can See Everything retreats, concentrating the field's remaining uncertainty into a distant cluster — the money now treats this as Nolan's race to lose, not an open contest.
