Trade: Will Dune 3 or Avengers: Doomsday gross more on their opening weekend?

7% YES 93% NO

Opened · Settles · 1 comments

Resolution criteria on PolyGram: Avengers: Doomsday and Dune 3 are scheduled for release on December 18, 2026. This market will resolve according to the film which grosses more domestically during their opening weekend in theaters. The "Daily Box Office Performance" figures found on the “Box Office” tab on these movies' The Numbers (https://www.the-numbers.com/) pages will be used to resolve this market once the values for the 3-day opening weekend (December 18 - December 20) are final (i.e., not studio estimates). If both movies report the same gross for the 3-day opening weekend, this market will resolve in favor of the movie whose title comes first in alphabetical order.

Market outcomes

Will Dune 3 or Avengers: Doomsday gross more on their opening weekend? 7% YES93% NO

Market context

Two major films release on the same date in December 2026: Marvel's Avengers: Doomsday and Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part Three. The market is pricing the probability that Dune 3 will exceed Doomsday's domestic opening weekend gross at just 7%, reflecting the current order book on Polymarket. This implies traders are assigning roughly 93% confidence to the Marvel tentpole outperforming the science-fiction epic across the three-day opening period (18–20 December).

Historical precedent suggests this pricing may underestimate Dune's chances. The original Dune (2021) opened to $40.1 million domestically despite pandemic conditions and simultaneous HBO Max release, whilst Dune: Part Two (2024) grossed $82.1 million in its opening weekend—outpacing most Marvel releases that year. Conversely, recent Avengers ensemble films have shown variable performance: Avengers: Endgame (2019) opened to $357.1 million, but Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) managed $191.1 million. The 7% probability reflects confidence in Marvel's franchise strength, though same-day releases create genuine uncertainty around audience split.

Key variables include marketing spend allocation, critical reception in the preceding weeks, and whether either film faces production delays before release. Dune 3's box office trajectory will depend partly on international performance signals from earlier markets, which could shift domestic expectations. Any major casting announcements, trailer releases, or scheduling changes for either film would likely move the order book materially before the settlement window closes on 20 December 2026.

How this market resolves

Resolution is handled by the UMA optimistic oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour dispute window opens, and if no one stakes a counter-claim the payout is final. Contested outcomes escalate to UMA token-holder voting. Payouts clear in USDC to the winning side.

How to trade this market step by step

The mechanics for trading "Will Dune 3 or Avengers: Doomsday gross more on their opening weekend?" are the same as any other PolyGram event contract. Each YES share resolves to $1 if the event happens, or $0 if it doesn't. The current price between 0¢ and 100¢ is the market's probability estimate, set live by the order book.

  1. Sign in on polygram.ink with your email — no full KYC under $1,500 lifetime trading volume.
  2. Deposit USDC on Polygon (lowest fees, ~$0.01 per transaction) or Ethereum. Funds credit after 12 confirmations.
  3. Pick a side. Buy YES if you believe the event will happen; buy NO if you think it won't. The current YES price reflects the market's collective probability.
  4. Size your position. If you stake 100 USDC at 7% YES, you'll receive shares that pay $1429 if YES resolves true — a 1329% gross return. If NO resolves, your shares are worth $0.
  5. Set risk controls (optional). Stop-loss, take-profit, and limit-order types all supported. Use the trade ticket's slippage box to cap your maximum entry price.
  6. Wait for resolution. When the event resolves on-chain via the UMA optimistic oracle, the winning side settles to 100¢ automatically and USDC hits your balance within seconds. Withdrawable to any wallet you control.

How active is this market?

$38K in lifetime turnover and $3K of resting liquidity puts this market in the around the median by volume for movies contracts on PolyGram. Order-book depth is thin — large orders may need to be split across the book or executed as limit orders.

The market has been open for 4 months — the price has had time to stabilise as new information arrived.

Higher-volume markets tend to have tighter spreads and faster price discovery — meaning the displayed YES/NO percentages are more likely to reflect the true crowd-implied probability rather than a single trader's directional view.

Key terms

YES / NO share
A binary outcome token that pays $1.00 if the underlying claim resolves true (YES) or false (NO), and $0 otherwise. The market price between 0¢ and 100¢ is the implied probability.
CLOB
Central limit order book. The matching engine that pairs YES buyers with NO buyers (effectively the same trade). Polymarket's CLOB on Polygon executes trades on-chain via the conditional-tokens framework.
Liquidity
USDC capital sitting in resting limit orders inside the order book. Deeper liquidity means smaller slippage on large trades and a tighter bid-ask spread.
UMA optimistic oracle
The on-chain dispute system that settles each Polymarket market. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour challenge window opens, and unchallenged proposals finalise the resolution.
Slippage
The difference between the displayed mid-price and your fill price. Affects market orders most; limit orders avoid slippage but may take time to fill.
Conditional token
ERC-1155 outcome share issued by Gnosis Conditional Tokens on Polygon. The token type that resolves to $1.00 or $0.00 at settlement.

Risk and regulatory note

Prediction-market positions can lose 100% of staked capital. Outcomes are uncertain by definition — historical accuracy of crowd-implied probabilities is high in aggregate but not for any single market. PolyGram does not provide investment advice. Trade only with capital you can afford to lose.

Regulatory status varies by jurisdiction. Germany, the United States, and most EU countries treat Polymarket-style event contracts under one of three frameworks: financial derivative, gambling product, or unregulated novel asset. Consult local counsel before trading.
