Avengers EndGame Box Office: 7 Records We Expect the Marvel Superhero Film to Break in India
Avengers: EndGame, which has its premiere on April 23, had received largely positive reviews from the critics.
Who thought that a Hollywood movie would raise the stakes so high in India that every Bollywood trade pundits are placing their bets on the film to break box office records? Avengers: EndGame, already the biggest movie of 2019, is expected to break not only box office records globally but also in India - a territory where local movies (rightly) get preference. It was its predecessor Avengers: Infinity War, that came out in 2018, which showed that Hollywood movies can do raging business as a Salman Khan or an Akshay Kumar film. And its sequel is expected to break more records. Remember, not a single Bollywood film is willing to take it at the box office.

Ajay Devgn's De De Pyaar De was to release on April 26, but got postponed when EndGame came on this date. Karan Johar's Kalank, that released last week, came on a Wednesday instead of Friday to make enough money before EndGame arrives (though that move did little good for the movie).
