Avengers Endgame Encore has wrapped its first week at the Indian box office with a commanding 31.4 crore net, surpassing Baahubali – The Epic’s previous record of 30.75 crore to become the highest-grossing re-release in the country’s history. The film, which arrived in theaters on September 25, 2026, as a special theatrical edition featuring additional footage and an exclusive post-credits scene teasing Avengers: Doomsday, maintained steady momentum throughout its run. On day 7 — its opening Thursday, it collected exactly 2.05 crore, matching the earnings from day 6. Gross collections stand at 37.06 crore. While some had expected higher numbers given the pre-release buzz, the performance is still considered impressive for a re-release, especially one that’s not a new release but a curated revival of a 2019 Marvel blockbuster. The film’s success shows a continued appetite for Hollywood content in India, particularly within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Trade sources suggest this strong showing is being viewed as a warm-up for the anticipated global rollout of Avengers: Doomsday. However, the window for Encore’s run is closing fast. Starting October 2, it will be pulled from most screens due to the arrival of Drishyam 3, which opens nationwide on that date. With limited showings now, future collections are expected to decline sharply. Still, the milestone is undeniable: a re-release has outperformed even the biggest homegrown blockbusters in their initial runs. The numbers aren’t just about nostalgia. They reflect a market where legacy films still command attention, even when competing with fresh entries. And while the story of Endgame Encore may be ending soon, its impact on the current box office landscape is already clear.
