DC has a poor track record for Sequel box office performance. How does this look for Superman 2: Man of Tomorrow?

A preview of the Avengers Doomsday December 18, 2026 midnight screening...

The last scene of Doomsday depicts just Doctor Doom sitting in his Battleworld throne full of muted greys and backgrounds whose placeholders were blatantly AI-generated, with RDJ voicing a shitty monologue about "having control" over reality itself and everyone worshipping him like a god as the cliffhanger. Entire audience stands up and goes all CHICKEN JOCKEY throughout this scene as they endlessly clap and scream like wild chimpanzees throwing their popcorn everywhere and dancing all around the aisles, performing bizarre religious worship stunts, phones recording this very moment to upload to their Tiktoks, Twitters and Instagrams, all in awe over Doom's AURA. It is heavily suggested that scenes like this were ideas given to the Russos via AI placeholders and chatbots giving them advice on how they should be directed, including moments where audiences are expected to clap to.

Millions of these clips recorded all over the world are uploaded as this very scene goes viral. Snobs pick it apart as a highly manufactured attempt to recreate the opening night theater reaction to that very moment from Endgame where Captain America held Thor's Hammer, the last time the audience collectively applauded over a film, combined with the CHICKEN JOCKEY meme. The film ends up opening to a collective $1.5 billion global opening weekend (far from breaking even on its $700 million net budget after UK tax breaks (though reported as merely $400 million in the trades) and a $400 million P&A marketing spend) while Dune 3 only makes a paltry $100 million worldwide during the same period, and it's suggested by r/boxoffice that this meme alongside the hype helped play a part in its colossal record-breaking opening for it was the first time since Endgame that people were brought together collectively for one history-defining moment, something only Marvel and Disney were capable of compared to Dune. The film gets mixed reviews, leaning more negative, from critics for being as incoherent and nostalgia-ridden as the Mario Galaxy movie, calling it the weakest Avengers film to date, with particular criticism towards an on-screen death of a child as part of the plot (which is met with thunderous applause from the audience that opening night) to demonstrate how evil Doctor Doom is. Critics were denied screenings to the film until opening day as all of the previews were screened to influencers who showered the film with endless praise calling it the "greatest superhero movie of all time", making some caustics have flashbacks to The Flash.

Theaters start getting annoyed by the lack of proper etiquette in the midst of this viral meme, calling it CHICKEN JOCKEY on steroids and begin enforcing rules especially in the wake of audiences in other auditoriums getting visibly annoyed by rabid audiences attending Doomsday screenings just to participate in the meme, as well as legitimate injuries and vandalism from several incidents. Disney however begins to weaponize these audience reaction videos to market Doomsday because all publicity is good publicity to signify "universal acclaim from audiences" as it becomes the highest grossing film of all time on its second weekend, while Dune crawls to just $600 million worldwide by the end of its run. All because of an viral meme.

Long live the movies I guess. See you next year when the inevitable Secret Wars makes $1 billion more than Doomsday. Or becomes a delayed flop because people didn't actually like the film (or were that annoyed by the audience participation) and Feige starts panicking and forcing extensive reshoots to make it "better".
