Marvel's re‑release posted a 15% jump on Saturday, putting the weekend on track for about ₹26 crore and eyeing the top re‑run record.
The latest Marvel re‑run of Avengers Endgame pulled in about nine crore rupees on Saturday, a solid 15 % rise from its opening day. That push brings the two‑day haul to roughly seventeen crore rupees, according to trade figures.
Industry watchers expect the opening weekend to close around the ₹26‑crore mark, a sum that would push the film past the current runner‑up for the biggest Hollywood re‑release in the country. If the trend holds, the movie could also overtake the all‑time re‑run high set by Interstellar.
The numbers exclude any 3D surcharge, a reporting habit that most Indian box‑office tallies still follow. Lately, a few studios have started to bundle those charges, and Disney is rumored to join them soon. A shift to a uniform reporting style would simplify comparisons, something insiders say has been overdue.
Re‑releases usually see a steep drop after day one, but the limited number of screens for this run meant Friday’s earnings were capped. The spill‑over onto Saturday and likely onto Monday suggests the film still has room to grow.
Analysts also note that the strong response bodes well for the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, slated for later this year. The brand’s recent dip in Indian markets appears to be reversing, with fans flocking back to the MCU’s flagship saga.
While the current figures are still trade estimates and not audited box‑office statements, the momentum is clear: Marvel’s flagship is resonating again, and the Indian market is responding with enthusiasm.
If the weekend stays on pace, the re‑run could rewrite the record books for Hollywood re‑releases, challenging the ₹29‑crore mark set by Interstellar and the ₹42‑crore benchmark of Sanam Teri Kasam for Indian films.
The next few days will reveal whether the surge is a brief flash or the start of a sustained comeback for the MCU in India.
