Avengers: Endgame tips Baahubali off its throne in India collecting ₹1.5 billion over the weekend

• Avengers: Endgame is topping the charts in India, making ₹1.57 billion over the opening weekend.
• It was a gradual climb from the opening day where Avengers: Endgame was able to garner ₹530 million, while still lagging behind Baahubali and 2.0.
• Even so, Avengers: Endgame earnings don’t make a big dent in the movie’s $1.2 billion global collection over the weekend.

Avengers: Endgame has officially topped the charts for the biggest weekend box office collections in India, raking in ₹1.57 billion ($22 million). It’s the fastest movie to reach the $1 billion mark, despite it being leaked on torrents before its release in India.

On the first day, however, it had garnered ₹530 million ($7.59 million) and was unable to top the charts, coming in third after Bahubali: The Conclusion and, Tamil film, Robot 2.0. By the second day, collections from the Avengers finale reached ₹ 1.04 billion ($15 billion).

By the end of the weekend Avengers: Endgame was able to push through to ₹1.57 billion and lead the Box Office India charts.

But, in the grand scope of things where Avengers: Endgame was able to collect $1.2 billion globally — $300 million from China — collections from India barely made a dent.

Nonetheless, the film has collected 67% more than its predecessor Avengers: Infinity War that collected ₹940 million in its first three days.

The film has collected 67% more than the previous Avengers film Infinity War which did 94 crore nett in its first three days. That was also a record for a Hollywood film which has been surpassed by leaps and bounds.

Round the clock shows have probably help boost the collection rates even in movie halls where prices reached ₹2,400.

Piggybacking on the success of the movie a lot of brands used the opportunity to elevate their visibility on social networks and on other online platforms.
