Now that Disney is releasing its films in Pakistan after successful talks with distributor Eveready Pictures, we can get excited about Avengers: Endgame without any holdups.
Avengers: Endgame release date is April 26th, just like the rest of the world. The movie will conquer box offices worldwide with an expected opening of over $300 million in North America alone. Those are some to globally historic numbers, and we just gotta wait how they pan out.
Given those projections, this is great news for the Pakistani box office as well. Since February, local cinema houses were in a bit of a pickle. While Pakistan had plenty of great movies lined up this year, February did not have any high profile release lined up.
