‘Avengers: Endgame’ notches up highest Hollywood opening weekend in India
Live MintMarvel’s latest superhero flick Avengers: Endgame has taken the Indian box office by storm, minting Rs. 157 crore within three days of release, easily raking in the highest opening weekend for a Hollywood film in the country so far. The record for the highest opening weekend for a Hollywood film in India was held by Avengers: Infinity War, the previous installment to Endgame. Trade website Box Office India said the film released in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu is only trending a little behind Baahubali 2 as far as the three-day figures go. Released in just 1,700 theatres, the opening day collections of Avengers were the third highest ever in India after Baahubali 2: The Conclusion and Rajinikanth’s science fiction flick 2.0, beating big-ticket Bollywood offerings like Thugs of Hindostan, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo and Sultan.
