The upcoming Kartik Aaryan starrer Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 has been making waves in the news recently. With big stars releasing below average films in recent weeks, people have sky-high expectations for this film as well – which is due to release next Friday. However, will it satisfy audiences? Or will it also tank at the box office like other films from last couple of weeks? Reports suggest that advance bookings for this movie look quite good so far – even though there was a slow start when tickets went online yesterday morning. Going by some media reports, advance ticket sales…
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which was released just last week, opened to a surprisingly receptive reception from the public. Advance tickets for it had been sold nearly a month beforehand and predictions for its opening day sales are expecting them to reach new heights for films. But with mixed reviews and poor word-of-mouth resulting from some unpleasing aspects found within the film itself; Doctor Strange 2 has seen enormous drop-offs on its first Monday. Despite this, though, when all has been said and done – including worldwide earnings – Doctor Strange 2 will still surpass $100 million…
Ranveer Singh’s debut outing, Jayeshbhai Jordaar has performed very poorly at the box office. According to early estimates, the movie managed to collect in the range of Rs. 2.85 to 3.15 crores on its first day out. The film had next-to-nothing going for it and even if one were to make a guess based off just morning showings alone, Rs 2250 crores would have been a stretch goal. As expected there was some growth as patrons trickled out into evening/night screenings; bringing the total around $3 crores or so by then – but this wasn’t nearly enough to give it…
The Ajay Devgn starred movie Drishyam had only received a lackluster response from Chinese audiences, largely due to the widespread H7N9 bird flu that’s plagued the nation over recent months. On Day 30 of its release, it was estimated that Drishyam had earned about Rs. 37 crores through ticket sales alone. However, this number pales in comparison when compared to other Indian movies during their first month in China- like Akshay Kumar’s Airlift (which collected Rs. 1 crore after just two days) or Shah Rukh Khan’s Fan (which made Rs). The good news is there are still nearly 60 more…
The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s next release, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness released last week. With high anticipations for this movie, it has lived up to expectation with an opening box office taking in a whopping Rs. 28.35 crores on day 1. However, with lackluster reviews and mediocre audience feedback the business of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness quickly began to decline. Managing to draw in Rs. 79.5 cr over its opening weekend the film witnessed a drastic drop in collections on its first Monday. Following this, the collections for Doctor Strange 2 stayed at about Rs.…
Another Friday and another unsuccessful weekend for Bollywood film premieres. Normally, this type of a movie would open to about 8-10 crores but instead they’ve opened around 3 crores each (Runway 34, Jersey, Attack). It seems this Jayeshbhai Jordaar is going down the same path; it’s just barely managed to open at Rs. 3.25 Crores with little expectation that anything will change over time. One way or another, people don’t seem interested in seeing this film despite the trailer – though not making things worse than they already are isn’t really something you can do either… With a social subject…
Yesterday Ranveer Singh starred in the blockbuster Jayeshbhai Jordaar. Released across over 2,250 theaters domestically, with high expectations but less-than-stellar reviews, the film failed to attract viewers and ended up having dismal box office numbers. Stuck at 9th place on last year’s chart for opening day collections (with only 3.25 crores,) Jeyshebhai Jordaar underperformed both past hits like Attack – Part One (3 crores) and released disappointments like The Kashmir Files (3.5 crores). But despite lagging behind these benchmarks of success, Jeyshebhai Jordaar’s performance cannot be ignored for two reasons: firstly because those were far bigger movies than what was…
With newer films releasing, it was uncertain if Runway 34 would make money. After opening poorly and facing tough competition from the other movies like KGF- Chapter 2, they were able to manage over Rs. 27 crore in profit after being screened for two weeks. As of now they’ve managed to pull in an additional 7 crores within these last few days alone. Overall they’ve made just under 30 crore rupees so far; which might even climb higher if this trend continues! In its second week of release, the movie Runway 34 was met with stiffer competition when Doctor Strange…
The Anupam Kher-starring Kashmir Films, after releasing a week ago is doing exceptionally well at the box office. Just today it crossed Rs. 200 crore – all within two weeks! In these eight days only it has already managed to cross Rs. 116 crore mark, and stands with an ambitious aim to rake up double this amount before it ends its 2-week run! And if that wasn’t enough for those eagerly waiting for good news, directors Anurag Kashyap’s Mukkabaaz and Raja Krishna Menon’s Vikram Vedha are also keeping in touch right behind along with Vivek Agnihotris The Kashmir Files which…
The Kashmir Files, a project by director Vivek Agnihotri, emerged victorious at the box office this past week. Opening to an average response on the first day of release with collections exceeding Rs.3.5 crore, this movie steadily increased its revenue over the next few days for both weekends and weekday showings alike. On Day 8 now – one week after The Kashmir Records’ debut – it has managed to cross Rs.100 crore off total earnings so far amounting to Rs.19 crore on that particular day alone; thus beating other recent releases such as Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra and…
