The much-talked-about and heavily anticipated new film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was released two weeks ago. As an action-packed blockbuster, it had been given high expectations which it did live up to for most of its time – after all, advance ticket sales were available a month ahead of time! However, things began slowing down on the first Monday when it came out. Despite this being considered one of the worst openings in Marvel history, there are still some people who went to see it that week because they knew what to expect and just wanted to…
Yesterday morning, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 – starring Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani – opened in theaters to a positive response from both critics and audience members alike. With advanced ticket purchases making up close to 50% of the total ticket sales on opening day, it seems that audiences are just as excited about this film as they were with its predecessor after watching trailers or reading reviews. In this review of theatrical performances for the week, we examine how Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 – one released in 2022 – fared compared to films from that year. Collecting 14.11 crore rupees on…
While there are many factors that go into making up the success or failure of a movie – such as promotion and marketing, one contributing factor could be competition from another film. Case in point – the failure of Runway 34 which opened to low attendance numbers might have been due to it having difficulty competing against KGF – Chapter 2 which was doing really well at theaters around this time period. After a much hyped three-week opening, the collections for Runway 34 have been disappointing. The latest earnings report shows an additional Rs. 2.97 crores grossed in week 3…

There is only one major theatre showing this film in my city and even then it isn’t doing very well. It just opened last week on Friday but already made about $3.25 million after a slow start; though sadly, it won’t do much better than that despite being advertised relentlessly before its release. With just $12 million coming from its opening weekend, this movie won’t bring in many people – even though Ranveer Singh stars in it. As of now, I’m still going to show this movie if someone decides they want to see it; but with the numbers not…
The latest Kartik Aaryan movie, Bhoolbhulaiyaa 2 was released yesterday under the direction of the renowned Bollywood director Anees Bazmee. The film is produced by Bhushan Kumar and Murad Khetani and has been met with high anticipation and frenzied promotion from fans across India. But even before its release, advance bookings for this anticipated blockbuster were so high that it carried an unprecedented wave of hype throughout the country. After one days earnings totalling in at around 14.11 crores, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 has managed to beat out the revenue (earnings) of the actors previous work – Love Aaj Kal- earning…
The Ranveer Singh-starring Jayeshbhai Jordaar was released last week, and despite all the hype it has failed to create a connection with audiences. The film brought in only Rs 3.25 cr on its opening day, followed by business remaining low for the rest of its first weekend, earning only Rs 12 cr thus far. In this Box Office Report, we take a look at the Jayeshbhai Jordaar’s collections in its opening week. With 14.95 crores collected so far, it has become one of the ten highest grossers for 2022. It found little success with audiences who were more inclined to…
After being delayed for three weeks, the Kangana Ranaut starrer Dhaakad was finally released on September 22nd in cinemas across India. But since then it has run into a number of obstacles – its promotional plans were thwarted when an influential Indian newspaper refused to review its films due to disagreements between the director and the paper; coupled with lacklustre reviews from critics and audiences alike, Dhaakad did not do well overseas either. Despite releasing in over 300 screens abroad, there were barely any takers for the film outside India. On Day One alone, it collected just $2104 (approx Rs…
Director Anees Bazmee’s newest film, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 released today to a highly positive reception by critics and movie goers alike. In this box office report, we take a look at the success of Bhushan Kumar – Murad Khetani produced venture, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 that boasted 629 screenings on its opening day. Australia box office 60,900 USD [Rs. 47.39 lacs] from 64 screens New Zealand box office 23,697 USD [Rs. 18.44 lacs] from 25 screens
The Ranveer Singh-starred ‘Jayeshbhai Jordaar’ is only expanding its fiasco to include monumental proportions, the profits already taking a plunge by nearly 50% on day four. Estimates projected that this YRF motion picture managed to collect Rs. 1.60 -1.80 crores to take their grand total earnings up to Rs. 13.70 crores (local estimate). However, it’s not just in one region of India where profit had fallen short; every single theater within its borders declared its losses – this flick evidently being anything other than well-received by audiences within Mumbai city limits alone! It could be said then that people were…
