Avengers - Infinity War has put up an extraordinary weekend of 94 crore nett plus which is easily the highest of 2018 beating the 75 crore nett of Padmaavat and 72.50 crore nett of Baaghi 2. The film is short of the 100 crore nett mark but that was never really on due to capacity issues even after a 31 crore nett plus day one.
There are only six outright Hindi films (Tiger Zinda Hai, Sultan, Dangal. Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo and Dhoom 3) which have had higher opening weekends but all are festive releases. Despite there being limited growth over the weekend the trend of the film is still extraordinary as collections have gone up at many places when there was not really much scope to go up.
The first weekend collections of Avengers - Infinity War are as follows

Friday - 31,33,00,000
Saturday - 30,25,00,000
Sunday - 32,75,00,000
TOTAL - 94,33,00,000
The trend suggests a strong hold on Monday though the English version would normally show a noticeable drop on Monday which is the case for most Hollywood releases but here ticket pricing is being held at weekend rates which will soften this drop.
Then there are minor holidays in the weekdays to further boost the film and on top its a weak period in terms of releases which could mean Avengers - Infinity War dominating the box office over the next 4-5 weeks. The lifetime business of the film can go anywhere.
