Marvel‘s Avengers: Infinity War has finally hit the screens and looks like the most awaited superhero film of the decade has taken a phenomenal start. After record breaking advance bookings, we always knew that the film would take a flying start, but the mass hysteria for the film has surprised one and all. Avengers: Infinity War registered a 90-100 per cent occupancy in the morning shows on a working Friday (day 1). Quite clearly day one has been tremendous and the third installment of the Avengers franchise will continue raking in the moolah. But how will it perform over the first weekend? And can it beat The Jungle Book‘s record and become the highest first weekend grosser for a Hollywood film in India?
Currently, The Jungle Book is the highest Hollywood opening weekend grosser in India, with a 3 day collection of Rs 40.47 crore. This is followed by Avengers: Age Of Ultron‘s weekend collection of Rs 36.10 crore and Fast & Furious 7‘s collection of Rs 36 crore. Though these numbers are tough to beat, looking at the current trends, Avengers: Infinity War will beat it quite easily. In fact, trade analyst and industry tracker – Ramesh Bala predicted, “Rs 30 crore nett – Day 1 and Rs 100 crore nett – 1st Weekend box offixe collection expected for #AvengersInfinityWar in #India.” [sic] So clearly, Avengers is going to kill it at the Indian market.
