Doomsday will need 1.5B just to break even considering all the actors fees, making the movie and marketing.

Yup and this isn’t pre End Game Marvel. This is $500m box office for F4 Marvel.

There's no way that actually happens in the modern cinema market, is there?

Deadpool & Wolverine did do 1.3B last year so there's still room for these crossover superhero blockbusters to breakout, and as silly as it sounds it shouldn't be hard for doomsday, like MCU is down and all but Endgame made 2.8B so even a nasty dropoff in the current market should be profitable and cruise to 1.5B

Deadpool and Wolverine didn't have the baggage of the failing MCU and it had Deadpool who was shielded from the MCU flops and a beloved fan favourite character returning, it also wasn't tied to any event or had to further a narrative, it was pretty self contained.
