Exhibitor Rajesh Thadani says, &ldquo;The second quarter of this year has been saved by Hollywood films.&rdquo;
The first three days' collection of this Avengers film is six times more than that of 'The Avengers' (2012). Trade analyst Taran Adarsh says, &ldquo;If you offer good content, people will throng cinema halls and that is obvious from the Age of Ultron's collections.&rdquo;
Another trade expert, Amod Mehra, agrees. &ldquo;The success of Hollywood films in India has jolted the Hindi film industry. 'Avengers: Age Of Ultron'&nbsp;was released only on 2D format, but has managed to do extraordinary business,&rdquo; he adds.
Comparing two of the biggest Hollywood films to have released recently, trade pundits says 'Avengers: Age Of Ultron'&nbsp;was released on 1500 screens and did a business of Rs 35.75 crore while 'Furious 7' opened on 2200 screens and raked in Rs 48 crore over a four-day weekend. A trade source says, &ldquo;Among Hollywood films, Age of Ultron got the highest non-holiday opening, considering the screen average.&rdquo;

Rs 35.75 crore 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' (opening weekend)
Rs 2 crore 'Mr. X' (second weekend; Overall &mdash; Rs 19.50 crore)
