Avengers Infinity War box office collection hits Rs 94.30 cr mark, mats Tiger Shroff's Baaghi 2

Avengers Infinity War box office collection has reached the Rs 94.30 cr mark in its opening weekend and thereby beaten Tiger Shroff's Baaghi 2 flat to become the 2nd highest opening weekend grosser of 2018. The Bollywood movie had collected a massive Rs 73.10 cr, but in front of this Hollywood Juggernaut, his muscle-bound theatrics met their match. Not just Baaghi 2, the foreign film also pulverised Ajay Devgn starrer Raid, which had collected Rs 41.01 cr, Akshay Kumar starrer Pad Man, which had taken in Rs 40.05 cr, Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, whcih had collected Rs 26.57 cr, and Varun Dhawan starrer October, which earned Rs 20.25 cr in the first three days since their release. Surely, Bollywood must have heaved a sigh of relief when Avengers Infinity War stopped well short of the movie of the year in the form of deepika Padukone starrer Padmaavat, which had bagged a whopping Rs 114 cr. It remains the No. 1 movie of 2018 so far.

Notably, Avengers Infinity War box office collection is soaring despite releasing in just 2000+ screens in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. However, these screens are in areas that generate the most revenues and ticket prices are high. Avengers Infinity War box office collection will keep on soaring in the week as it faces no competition at all in the cinemas. All the movies are old releases now and they are not putting up any kind of fight. Also, the Hollywood movie is receiving quite a good word of mouth boost and it is fattening up their money bags. The lure of this spectacular movie is proving irresistible for the youth.
