Avengers: Infinity War Box Office: It has recorded one of the best advance booking of all time in India, and the approximate pre-release sales is expected to close around the Rs 20 crore mark. The film has taken the second biggest advance of all time after Baahubali 2 despite limited showcasing on merely 2100 screens in India.

The advance ticket sales is better than films like Sultan, Tiger Zinda Hai and Dangal to name a few, however the opening day collections might fall a bit shot of the above mentioned films starring superstars like Salman Khan and Aamir Khan.

The film has taken the best advance in Mumbai, where it has created history. Most of the theatres in the city have pre-sold almost 50% of the tickets in advance and the film is set to record one of the biggest single day collection of all time in Mumbai.
