At the end of Avengers: Infinity War, Thanos wiped half of the population of the universe with a snap of his fingers. And now, with the release of Avengers: Endgame, the earth's mightiest superheroes avenged it by not only bringing the population back but also by smashing the box office.
This weekend, with the culmination of Marvel’s decade-long cinematic universe, Avengers: Endgame broke nearly all box records imaginable. Film trade analysts did predict it to be a massive success, but earning USD 1 billion over the weekend was definitely unfathomable.
Here are the box office records Avengers: Endgame broke in India and in rest of the world:
