<p>The superhero tentpole, which cost between $300 million and $400 million, opened worldwide with $630 million, making it the highest global opening weekend of all time, even without China debuting this weekend.</p>

Avengers: Infinity War boasts of being the biggest superhero movies of all times

With excitement building up for Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War that released today on March 27, our own Mumbai Police amped up their Twitter game with a quirky Avengers-themed meme for the day. They tweeted an edited image of Mumbai police personnel on the Avengers new movie cover alongside an Avenger, Vision aka Paul Bettany. The image read: “Some visions may or may not die, But our vision for your safety shall live till infinity.” As soon as the tweet was posted, it went viral with many users requesting the Mumbai police’s social team to not give out spoilers. This is the tweet: A vision that will live forever! #InfiniteSafety for Mumbai pic.twitter.com/ujDjjWiDbR — Mumbai Police (@MumbaiPolice) April 26, 2018 × Avengers: Infinity War movie is touted to be the biggest of the lot with almost all superheroes that Marvel has ever launched to come together to save the world from one evil force, Thanos. While this is great news for superhero movie lovers, the film also promotes insecurity in the minds of movie buffs as it is reported that at least some of our favourite heroes will not last till the end. Now, who would those be, we have no idea! Mumbai Police’s latest tweet fans that sentiment. These are some users requesting Mumbai Police to not give out spoilers without alerts: Please spoiler maat dijiye.
