Avengers: Endgame Encore poised to lead Indian box office this weekend

Variety’s latest box‑office outlook places the re‑release of Marvel’s ‘Avengers: Endgame Encore’ in the pole position for the coming Indian weekend, suggesting it could eclipse all new releases. The trade publication notes that the film’s strong brand recognition and previous domestic earnings give it a decisive edge.

Competing titles include Brad Pitt’s new drama ‘Heart of the Beast’ and Robert Pattinson’s thriller ‘Primetime’, both of which are projected to vie for the third spot behind the Marvel offering. While neither film has yet secured a top‑two position, their presence underscores a crowded market for the weekend.

If the prediction holds, the success of ‘Endgame Encore’ would reaffirm the enduring pull of the Marvel franchise in India, echoing the original run’s record‑breaking collections. Distributors are watching closely, as a strong performance could influence screen allocations for the upcoming slate of domestic and international releases.
