Avengers: Doomsday overtakes Clayface in Australia with an FDI of 17.7

Primetime opened at No. 1 last weekend with Unlock tickets, but Avengers: Doomsday now controls the wider demand race.

  • Avengers: Doomsday leads Australia with an FDI of 17.7.
  • Primetime sold Unlock tickets in the last 7 days.
  • The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping has Unlock advance tickets.

Australia’s demand race has flipped in favor of Avengers: Doomsday. The Russo brothers’ science-fiction adventure overtook Clayface to take first place with an FDI of 17.7, rising 7.3 points in a week on Unlock advance tickets. The SEATmio Film Demand Index (FDI) is a film’s share, in percent, of all tickets SEATmio tracks in Australia, including the last 7 days of screenings and advance tickets for future screenings.

Avengers: Doomsday, from the directors of Avengers: Endgame and Avengers: Infinity War, is still 43 days from its December 17 release, but it is already ahead of every film in cinemas. The Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth-led action title now sits above Primetime, which has an FDI of 9.6 after climbing from eighth to second and passing Clayface, Street Fighter, Wildwood and Verity among others.

Primetime is the strongest current release in the index. Lance Oppenheim’s thriller-drama, from the director of SPERMWORLD, follows To Catch a Predator host Chris Hansen as a high-stakes operation curdles into a nightmare of performative justice, with Robert Pattinson and Merritt Wever in the cast. It sold Unlock tickets in the last 7 days and added Unlock advance tickets, with ticket figures throughout this article rounded SEATmio estimates.

Clayface, last week’s leader, fell to third place with an FDI of 6.2 after dropping 6.8 points. James Watkins’ horror-thriller, from the director of Speak No Evil and Eden Lake, stars Tom Rhys Harries as Matt Hagen, whose treatment after a disfiguring attack destabilizes his grip on reality. Wildwood also lost ground, slipping from fourth to fifth with an FDI of 5.0, while Street Fighter fell from third to tenth after dropping 4.2 points.

Last weekend, from October 30 to November 1, Primetime opened on top with Unlock tickets. Clayface was second with Unlock after falling 42% from the previous weekend, while Wildwood took third with Unlock after falling 25%. Pressure also opened in the top five, selling Unlock tickets and moving to eighth place on the current index with an FDI of 3.4.

The next wave is already pressing into the chart. The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping climbed from 16th to fourth, rising 3.5 points to an FDI of 5.0 ahead of its November 19 opening and building Unlock advance tickets. Ramayana: Rise of a Legend opens November 5 with an FDI of 3.5 and Unlock advance tickets, while You Can See Everything opens November 12 with an FDI of 3.2 and Unlock advance tickets.

Australia’s local production in the frame is THE SONGS OF JOHN FARNHAM: A LIVING LEGEND – THE CELEBRATION CONCERT. The music event, built around an extraordinary gathering of Australian and international stars honoring John Farnham, has an FDI of 0.9 after falling from seventh to 19th. It sold Unlock tickets in the last 7 days and has Unlock advance tickets still on the books.
