Marvel Studios' Avengers: Endgame Encore has sold 7,300 tickets within 24 hours of advance booking opening in India. The re-release is aiming for the biggest opening for a re-released film in the Indian market.
The ticket sales were recorded across major cinema chains and online booking platforms. The 2019 film returns to Indian theatres with a new encore presentation.
Avengers: Endgame originally released in India on April 26, 2019. It became the highest-grossing Hollywood film in the country at the time.
Ticket Sales
The 7,300 tickets were sold in the first 24 hours after bookings opened. Trade analysts say the number shows strong demand for the superhero film.
The encore release will be available in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. It will play in 2D, 3D, and IMAX formats.
Advance bookings are open on platforms such as BookMyShow and at cinema chains including PVR INOX. Additional shows are expected to be added as demand grows.
Re-Release Market
India has seen a growing market for re-releases in recent years. Films such as Titanic, Avatar, and Interstellar have returned to theatres with notable success.
The biggest re-release opening in India is currently held by a major Hollywood title. Avengers: Endgame Encore is looking to surpass that record.
The original Avengers: Endgame earned over 400 crore rupees in India. It remains one of the highest-grossing films in the country.
Release Plans
Marvel has not announced any additional footage for the encore version. The studio is positioning the release as a theatrical event.
The film is scheduled to open in Indian cinemas later this month. Fans are expected to turn out in large numbers for the return of the Avengers.
Advance bookings are ongoing. The final opening numbers will be known when the film hits theatres.
