Marvel Cinematic Universe's latest film Avengers: Endgame is proving to be a tough competition to some of the biggest Bollywood blockbusters. The movie has grossed more than Rs 300 crore so far at the ticket window and is expected to surpass the collections of Bollywood movies like Dangal, Tiger Zinda Hai and Sanju.

Now #AvengersEndgame is decimating previous records and setting new benchmarks... The audience is thirsting for well-made entertainers, but we rely more on packaging and marketing to do the trick... No wonder, our films misfire too often.

According to Film trade analyst Taran Adarsh's tweets today, the Marvel film is decimating previous records and setting new benchmarks and is likely to cruise past Rs 400 crore by the second week.

While comparing the Hollywood flick with the earning of other mega releases in Hindi and their earnings in the first 7 days, he stated that the superhero film has shattered two myths: Screen count and release period.

#AvengersEndgame has shattered two myths: Screen count and release period... Most *Hindi* biggies release in 3500 screens, even 4000 or 4500+ at times, yet those movies don't achieve the numbers that #AvengersEndgame has amassed in just *seven days* on *2845* screens.
