In January of 2020, Varun Dhawan’s last movie to have a theatrical release, Street Dancer 3D, earned a total of Rs. 75 crores. Unfortunately, due to the events of 2020, his Coolie No. 1 was released directly to OTT, with no further new releases that year. However, with the premiere of JugJugg Jeeyo in 2021, the movie has successfully surpassed the total of Street Dancer 3D, achieving this in only 16 days. Presently, JugJugg Jeeyo stands at a total box office collection of Rs. 76.43 crores. To reach the next milestone, it needs to surpass the collections of Humpty Sharma…
Exhibitors and theatre owners across the country had plenty to celebrate when the Hollywood release Thor: Love and Thunder raked in additional audiences on its second day. The Marvel film, which had made a resounding Rs. 18.60 crore on its opening day, saw Rs. 12 crore more on the second day, showing no significant drop. Even more impressive was that these figures are almost on par with the total lifetime earnings of numerous films with renowned stars released this year, providing a glimmer of hope amidst the current difficult circumstances. The movie has earned a whopping Rs. 30.60 crores* till…
Thor: Love & Thunder achieved a fantastic debut at the box office with an impressive Rs. 18.60 crore collection on Thursday. However, initial estimates reveal a decline on the second day, with our tracking suggesting that Thor: Love & Thunder’s second day earnings should fall between Rs. 12.25 and Rs. 14.25 crores. On Friday, it was anticipated that Thor would experience a decrease of approximately 20%. This downturn was mainly observed in the North Indian market, whereas areas such as Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Kerala remained stable. As a result, Thor’s two-day earnings are likely to be in…
Last Thursday, Marvel’s long-awaited latest release Thor: Love and Thunder hit theaters, and it didn’t disappoint! As the fourth movie in the Thor series and the 29th film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it has been greatly anticipated and built up plenty of hype. Starring Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Chris Pratt, Russel Crow, and Christian Bale, the Takia Waititi-directed film made Rs. 18.20 crore on its opening day – exactly as expected!

The third weekend of JugJugg Jeeyo’s release proved to be a major success, with a gross collection of over Rs. 5 crores. This success is all the more impressive, considering that over the past few weeks, very few newly-released Hindi films have been able to reach this number, even in their opening weekend. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 has achieved box-office dominance since its release, while JugJugg Jeeyo has been the only other movie to make an impression with its steady stream of patrons, when almost all other movies have failed to find their audiences. This is especially evident by the extraordinary…

True to these expectations, the film received an incredible Rs. 18.20 crore on its opening day, cementing its place as one of the most successful Marvel movies of all time. In this box office analysis, we…
Generally speaking, Bollywood had a poor day with barely more than Rs. 2 crores coming in. This is quite disheartening for the industry, which relies heavily on the success of large blockbuster movies to drive revenue for its exhibition and distribution sector. The last big hit was Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 which released two months ago, but it seems the wait for the next will be longer than expected. Both HIT – The First Case and Shabaash Mithu had underwhelming debuts at the box office, although the former is meeting expectations given its estimated opening of Rs. 1.35 crores. Surprisingly, this…
A notable trend is being observed with the release of Bollywood films. Big ticket movies featuring a well-known superstar used to have a sure shot opening of more than Rs. 20 crores, but currently the opening figure has drastically reduced to a double digit score. On the other hand, the majority of mid-budget movies with a notable star cast that previously earned between Rs. 10-15 crores in its opening day, now starts at a much lower Rs. 3-5 crores. Finally, the niche themed movies which back then used to garner an opening of Rs. 3-5 crores at urban multiplexes, now…
As was anticipated, Thor: Love and Thunder’s box office performance on Monday was less than expected and did not hit double digits. This result had become more and more probable as the huge opening day numbers dropped on Friday. Nevertheless, Saturday and Sunday provided an improvement and eventually made up for it with collections over the weekend reaching Rs. 64.80 crores*. Although the collections on Monday added up to a more moderate Rs. 6 crores*, it was still enough to bring the total collections to Rs. 70.80 crores*, which shows that the extended weekend paid off. The Khuda Haafiz: Chapter…
On Saturday, there were hardly any new Hindi releases and the movie collections were only marginally better than before. Although HIT – The First Case performed better than Shabaash Mithu, the comparison is only on a relative scale. Let us start our conversation by discussing HIT – The First Case. The film contains a great deal of quality content which has received more positive reviews than negative ones. However, due to it’s OTT release and its namesake from the South garnering a positive reception in 2020, the film’s overall audience response has been lukewarm, a fact further evidenced by the…
