As one of the most highly anticipated films this year, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has only been out for two weeks so far – but it’s already breaking records. It took a whopping USD 688 million [Rs. 5345.34 cr.] globally during its first full weekend and continues to break records even now with its second week showing; being one of few films that made it into the top 10 list for all time highest grossing films. With over $400 million worldwide (US$3076.68) and another $292 million domestically (US$2268.66), Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ earnings were…
After the release of KGF: Chapter 2, people were blown away by how quickly it reached its first 100 crore. This included a whopping $25 million within the first five days of release in India alone! By this point everyone knew this movie was going to break records and become an all-time blockbuster. Unsurprisingly, it didn’t take long for its achievements to come rolling in – just two weeks after release, it had already surpassed the 200 crore mark with tickets sold worldwide! With 17 days left until Christmas Day (December 25th), this sensational film will most likely break out…
The Yash starrer KGF- Chapter 2 opened up to a phenomenal response four weeks ago, breaking records and bringing back memories of Bollywood films from the early 2000s. With an estimated budget lower than most Hollywood blockbusters but some of the biggest opening numbers ever seen in India, this movie quickly managed to surpass Rs. 100 cr (USD$1.5 million) and Rs. 200 cr (USD$3 million). It crossed the Rs. 300 cri (USD$4 million) mark shortly after – then went even higher to reach Rs. 400 cri (USD $5 million) faster than any other Indian film before it – all within…
In accordance with what happened to other mid-budget films similar to it this year, Jayeshbhai Jordaar failed to take off during its opening weekend. During pre-pandemic times, these types of movies would usually last until Tuesday without the outcome being a foregone conclusion because they would usually follow Saturday’s success by continuing to grow through Monday and sometimes (though not always) Tuesday too. In this instance though, there was absolutely no growth over the course of Sunday which led directly into an $12 million loss for the debuting movie. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness also played on a…
The much-talked-about Marathi film Dharmaveer made its debut last week on Friday, drawing crowds of moviegoers and positive reviews alike. With Bollywood actor Salman Khan in attendance alongside Uddhav Thackrey and Aditya Thackrey – who acted as producers for the project – Dharmaveer had a strong start to the weekend with Rs.2.05 cr (approximately $33 million) grossing over one day in sales. The second weekend was just as successful for DharmaVeer, earning the company Rs.3.86 cr (approximately $68 million). There were slightly fewer screenings available this time around owing to other Bollywood films being released at the same time but…
Hailed as one of the most talked about films this year and receiving heavy promotion nationwide, Ranveer Singh’s latest film Jayeshbhai Jordaar did not deliver when it was released last Friday. Despite drawing in only Rs. 3.25 cr on its opening day, the movie failed to draw crowds over Saturday and Sunday even though it had enough room for improvement since competition from other films has been minimal until now and reviews have been favorable for the actor who stars in it throughout his career thus far. This article compares the opening weekend earnings for Jayeshbhai Jordaar with other recent…
The much-anticipated Ranveer Singh starring movie Jayeshbhai Jordaar was heavily advertised and promoted prior to its release last Friday. Despite this, the film didn’t take off on a good note with box office figures for opening day at 10% of what it was expected to earn. With 2,250 screens showing the movie, many were surprised when it failed to hit expectations when they found out how low those numbers really were. The recent news surrounding the artist and star has left us breathless. Let’s take a peek at how they fared in the past? With only collecting Rs. 12 crores,…
The newest Mahesh Babu-starring feature Sarkar Vaari Pata released worldwide this past week. So far domestically, it has been performing well, but internationally – particularly in the United States – audiences have loved it so far! Over its opening weekend in the US alone, Sarkar Vaari Pata was able to make an astonishing $1.97 million [ Rs. 15.41 cr.] with 500 screens while at Canada’s box office, they made USD 14,491 from just 7 screens nationwide. Coming in as the film’s third highest grossing market is the overseas territory of Australia. They brought in 363,598 Australian dollars (1.95 million Indian…
The Don movie starring Sivakarthikeyan and Priya Arulmohan was released this past week in both the domestic and international markets. And it seems that it is doing quite well worldwide! This past weekend in America, for example, Don took $282,566 (Rs. 2.2 crore) from only 200 screens- ranking 17th on the all-time list of top-grossing weekends over there. It also had success when it came to Canada– gathering $5381 (Rs. 4.19 lakh) from just two screens; 36th place on the weekly rankings there too! And as we mentioned before, it seems to be performing quite well in Europe too- namely…
It was evident that Jayeshbhai Jordaar’s growth as a business owner was discouragingly slow, as he witnessed his revenue increase only slightly between Fridays’ opening of Rs. 3.25 crores and Saturdays’ income of Rs. 4 crores. It would not have been shocking if this trend continued until the end of his weekend; after all, audiences were largely disengaged on Friday and applauded him only moderately for what he created – both critically and personally. Yet, the collection did inch up ever so slightly which can be seen as an improvement but not one worth celebrating yet by any means. Doctor…
