The major chunk of the collections is coming from south India as we know that the southern region is the major market for Hollywood flicks especially Marvel films. The Nizam and Andhra are said to be the major contributor followed by the Tamil state, the film is also doing amazing business from Mumbai in the northern belt.
English version of the film is taking the lead followed by Hindi, Telugu, and then Tamil. Now the Monday collections will show the more clear image and the future of Benedict starrer.
Marvel’s last outing had collected Rs 218.41 Cr, as of now it can’t be said whether Strange’s sequel will surpass the lifetime India bizz of Superman or not as the film saw more footfalls than the latest one. Its increased collections are due to price hikes.
