Avengers: Doomsday leads Canada demand with an FDI of 23.6

Ramayana: Rise of a Legend climbed from 25th to seventh one day before its November 5 opening.

  • Avengers: Doomsday leads Canada with an FDI of 23.6.
  • You Can See Everything sold Unlock tickets last weekend.
  • Ramayana: Rise of a Legend rose 4.4 points in a week.

Avengers: Doomsday is the film Canada most wants to see, leading the market with an FDI of 23.6 while its closest pursuer, Dune: Part Three, stands at 11.8. The SEATmio Film Demand Index (FDI) is a film's percentage share of all tickets SEATmio tracks in Canada, combining tickets for the last 7 days of screenings with advance tickets for upcoming screenings. That puts the December 18 superhero title in front of both films already playing and the next wave of openers.

The lead is built on advance demand. Avengers: Doomsday, from Joe Russo and Anthony Russo, whose earlier work includes Avengers: Endgame and Avengers: Infinity War, has Unlock advance tickets in rounded SEATmio estimates. The science-fiction action adventure stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Pedro Pascal and Paul Rudd in a collision of heroes facing an existential threat.

Dune: Part Three is the main long-range rival, also opening December 18, with Unlock advance tickets and an FDI of 11.8. Denis Villeneuve's science-fiction adventure, following his earlier work Dune: Part Two and Dune, brings back Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Jason Momoa, Florence Pugh and Rebecca Ferguson for the conclusion of Paul Atreides' story. It is well clear of the films now in cinemas, but not close to Avengers: Doomsday on current demand.

Among current releases, You Can See Everything remains the strongest, even after falling from first to third and losing 10.3 points in a week. Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim's documentary about Elizabeth Holmes sold Unlock tickets in the last 7 days and still has Unlock advance tickets. Clayface slipped from second to fourth after falling 8.4 points, while Wildwood moved from third to fifth after falling 4.3 points.

The sharpest move belongs to Ramayana: Rise of a Legend, which climbed from 25th to seventh as it heads into its November 5 opening. Nitesh Tiwari's fantasy action adventure, from the director of Dangal and Chhichhore, rose 4.4 points and passed films including Street Fighter, Wicker, Other Mommy and Verity. Godzilla Minus Zero also advanced, moving from 18th to ninth with an FDI of 2.6 before its November 6 release.

Last weekend, from October 30 to November 1, You Can See Everything sold the most tickets, with Unlock, though it fell 36% from the previous weekend. Clayface followed with Unlock after falling 44%, while Wildwood took Unlock after a 29% decline. Wicker and Street Fighter completed the top five, with Street Fighter down 62% from the previous weekend.

Canada's local production to watch remains Haunted, Rafaël Ouellet's comedy fantasy family film about a teenager who befriends a 19th-century ghost. It has an FDI of 0.5 after falling 0.3 points, sold Unlock tickets in the last 7 days and sits 23rd after being 16th a week earlier. Pauline, Anaïs Barbeau-Lavalette's drama about Pauline Julien, has an FDI of 0.2 as a local title outside the top tier.
