In another post, he wrote the figures were really marvelous because the Hollywood film was just released in 2,000 screens, whereas Tiger's Baaghi 2 were screened in over more than 3,000 cinema halls.

Avengers: Infinity War is one of the most expensive and elaborate projects in the history of Hollywood, assembling over 22 main heroes from MCU and maybe more in its second part. The film sees Thanos, the Infinity Stones-lusting alien, entering Earth to complete his Infinity Gauntlet and facing the collective force of all the MCU superheroes seen on the big screen so far.
