The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been around for a decade now and with every film, the box office numbers of this franchise have seen a big jump. With Black Panther releasing, here's looking at how the past five Marvel films performed at the Indian box office. (All figures from Bollywood Hungama)
Thor: Ragnarok - Rs 58.73 cr Thor's latest installment was way more impressive than its predecessors and the same reflected on the box office numbers as well. The humourous film was loved by audience and critics alike.
Spider-Man: Homecoming - Rs 59.96 cr This was MCU's first Spider-Man film. Starring Tom Holland, who was first introduced in Captain America: Civil War, this Spider-Man film was quite successful at the Indian box office.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 - Rs 13.8 cr The second leg of the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise starring Chris Pratt performed fairly reasonably at the Indian box office. It wasn't as loved as its predecessor but still managed to earn Rs 13.8 cr.
Doctor Strange - Rs 25.2 cr This origin story starring Benedict Cumberbatch caught the fancy of many with its sleek visual effects and an impressive star cast. Doctor Strange was introduced with this film and we'll now get to see more of him in the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War.
Captain America: Civil War - Rs 59.50 cr This one had a huge ensemble cast where the audience got to watch Captain America at loggerheads with Iron Man. This was also the film where we first saw Black Panther. It is after the events of this film that the story of Black Panther starts.
