Marvel Cinematic Universe’s latest offering Avengers: Endgame is breaking records left, right and center. Just a day old, the Russo brothers directorial has already smashed ticket counters wide open with its jaw-dropping 169 million dollars collection at the international box office, as reported by Deadline.
Avengers Endgame has created a new record for IMAX by earning RMB 93 million from 608 screens in China, according to the same report. It is a record that surpasses the collection of Avengers: Infinity War. The running cume estimate through Thursday in China (i.e. today, and still an early number which is not fully included in the total above), is $153M (RMB 1.03B). This reflects a $45.5M Thursday which is a roughly 42% drop from Wednesday (sans midnights). However, that’s an expected dip given the hyper-anticipation for opening day. The full weekend, which is a 5-day frame that includes just one non-workday, is looking towards the $300M+ zone.
Avengers Endgame released in India today and fans from all parts of the country has been making a beeline outside theaters to catch the latest MCU flick.
