Marvel’s juggernaut Avengers: Endgame has already pulled in about Rs 8 crore in advance bookings across India, with roughly two‑hundred thousand seats snapped up.
The bulk of that cash came from the opening day, which alone contributed close to Rs 3 crore, while Saturday and Sunday added the rest.
The film is still playing on a trimmed schedule – only a handful of theatres are showing it at the moment – but the full slate of shows is slated to go live later this evening.
Industry watchers expect that once the remaining screens open, the advance tally will jump sharply, possibly nudging the opening‑day net to the Rs 10 crore mark.
If that happens, Endgame would rewrite the record books for a re‑release, eclipsing the opening‑day haul of Baahubali: The Epic when it returned to cinemas.
The original 2019 run of Endgame was the top‑grossing Hollywood title in India until Avatar: The Way of Water and, more recently, Spider‑Man: Brand New Day pushed it down the ladder.
Analysts say the current surge could even outpace Avatar’s re‑run numbers, though Spider‑Man’s fresh earnings remain out of reach for the Marvel sequel.
Beyond the numbers, the buzz around the re‑run is being read as a litmus test for Marvel’s staying power in the sub‑continent, a market that has felt a dip lately.
A strong showing now would give the studio confidence ahead of Avengers: Doomsday, the next chapter slated for later this year, and could shape its marketing push.
Fans have already taken to social media, sharing screenshots of sold‑out slots and debating whether the nostalgia factor or the promise of a bigger sequel is driving the rush.
Ticket‑selling platforms report that the top‑tier chains have seen a spike in bookings, with some locations reporting a sell‑through of over 70 % for the first showtimes.
The momentum also highlights how quickly a limited‑release strategy can turn into a full‑blown box‑office event when demand spikes.
For now, the industry will be watching the evening’s inventory release like a hawk. The next set of figures will confirm whether Endgame can truly break the Rs 10 crore barrier.
If it does, the re‑release could become the benchmark for future Hollywood revivals in India, setting a new bar for what a nostalgic blockbuster can achieve.

Advance bookings show Nani’s The Paradise edging close to a ₹50 crore pre‑release total, while Tamil hit Mandaadi aims for the ₹100 crore milestone and Resident Evil’s Indian run steadies around ₹15 crore.
Nani’s upcoming film ‘The Paradise’ has amassed $1.11 million from North American pre‑sales, breaking his own records and positioning the movie to enter Tollywood’s elite list of top‑grossing premieres abroad.
‘Vibe’, starring Kunal Kemmu and Preity Zinta, posted a modest rise on its fifth day, reaching a net of 9.5 crore in India, yet its hefty 35‑40 crore budget keeps it in the red.
Avengers: Endgame Encore has finished its five‑day pre‑sale window in China, pulling in $2.2 million. Analysts say a front‑loaded opening could push it past Avatar’s re‑release record, though slowed booking may curb ambitions.
