The Marvel re-release recorded a modest but positive increase in India on its second day.

After collecting Rs 7.25 crore net on Friday, Avengers: Endgame: Encore added Rs 7.65 crore net on Saturday. The 5.5 per cent increase pushed its total India net collection to Rs 14.90 crore.

The English-language version remained the biggest contributor to the Indian total, earning Rs 5.60 crore on Day 2.

The Hindi version contributed Rs 1.35 crore, while the Tamil and Telugu versions each earned Rs 35 lakh.

The multi-language release has allowed the film to reach audiences across several major Indian markets during its limited theatrical return.

North America opening reaches $11.2 million

Avengers: Endgame: Encore has also made a notable start in North America.

The re-release earned $11.2 million on Friday, including preview collections.

The film is expected to collect around $26 million during its opening weekend in the region, although the final weekend figure will depend on its performance over the remaining days.

The film is playing across 3,060 screens in North America.

One of the major attractions of the re-release is an exclusive preview of Avengers: Doomsday, the upcoming Marvel film scheduled to arrive in theatres on December 18.

The additional footage provides a fresh incentive for Marvel fans who have already watched the original Avengers: Endgame multiple times.

Why Avengers: Endgame is returning to theatres

The 2026 theatrical return gives audiences another opportunity to watch one of Marvel Studios’ biggest films on the big screen.

The re-release also arrives ahead of the next major chapter in the Avengers franchise, with Avengers: Doomsday set for release later this year.

The inclusion of an exclusive preview makes the theatrical return more than a straightforward repeat screening, particularly for fans following the upcoming Marvel storyline.

The film’s existing popularity and the anticipation surrounding the next Avengers movie have helped generate renewed interest in the re-release.

Original Avengers: Endgame box office

The original Avengers: Endgame had an enormous theatrical run following its release in 2019.

The film eventually grossed around $2.799 billion worldwide during its initial theatrical run, placing it among the highest-grossing films in global box-office history.

Its original success was driven by the culmination of the storylines involving several Marvel superheroes and the conclusion of a major phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The film’s return to theatres therefore comes with an established global fan base and strong familiarity among audiences.

Story and star cast

Directed by Anthony Russo and Joe Russo, Avengers: Endgame follows the surviving Avengers as they attempt to reverse the devastating consequences of Thanos’ actions.

The story centres on the superheroes’ final mission to undo the destruction caused by Thanos and bring back those who were lost.

The film features Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Brie Larson and Paul Rudd, among several other members of the ensemble cast.

The story is based on Marvel Comics characters created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.

Avengers: Endgame: Encore release in India

The re-release returned to Indian theatres on September 25, 2026.

It is being screened in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.

The film’s first two days have produced a combined India net collection of Rs 14.90 crore, with the English version accounting for the largest share of Day 2 earnings.

The second-day increase, although relatively modest, indicates that the film has maintained its opening-day audience interest.

Its performance over the remainder of the weekend will provide a clearer indication of the overall response to the theatrical encore.

Exclusive Avengers: Doomsday preview adds interest

The preview of Avengers: Doomsday remains one of the key attractions of the re-release.

With Doomsday scheduled to reach theatres on December 18, the preview gives audiences an early glimpse of the next Avengers chapter.

For Marvel fans, the opportunity to see the preview exclusively in cinemas could encourage repeat visits and support the re-release’s theatrical run.

Meanwhile, Avengers: Endgame: Encore will continue its run in India after its Rs 14.90 crore net opening across two days.
