Avengers - Endgame Clocks Phenomenal First Day



Avengers - Endgame collected a phenomenal 52 crore nett apprx across India on day one even though it released on just 1700 theatres. The collections are the third highest ever in terms of NETT collection after Bahubali - The Conclusion and 2.0 and in terms of GROSS it could be fourth as the Thugs Of Hindostan number with all languages could be a little higher. But basically taking out the holiday factor the top three opening days across India are non Hindi films.

The film has not set any circuit records though Mumbai and Delhi / UP have come very close and the latter could make it when the final collections come. the film has put up phenomenal numbers wherever released. some numbers may look a little lower compared to other films in some circuits but that is because of the release. The South has also clocked huge numbers with with all Tamil Nadu, Andhra and Mysore all going over with the Mysore number coming from just 70 theatres.

The Hindi belt is also huge with all mass circuits recording huge occupancy and challenging the biggest Hindi films despite a release which is on less than half the cinemas. The film just breaks the myth that it is about screens, collections are not about adding screens to your release its about having an audience. Only when you have an audience then screens can help. This film proves that a 40 crore nett number can be done on 2000 screens when hardly any film is doing it releasing on 4000 screens.

The film is a huge advance going forward over the weekend and may hit a weekend number in the range of 160-165 crore nett which is mind boggling and far ahead of any Hindi film till date.
