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…
The KGF- Chapter 2 by Yash released a few months ago and continues to dominate the theaters across the world. After it’s outstanding opening, audiences flocked to theaters everywhere from Mumbai to America. The business of this film grew immensely due to audiences who love it so much; especially after collecting Rs. 130.21 cr for just one circuit (Mumbai) when compared to other movies made in the area like Tanhaji – The Unsung Warrior which earned Rs. 134.96 cr in just one city (Mumbai). With there being no sign that people would stop viewing it anytime soon, predictions say that…
Yesterday, the much talked about movie starring Ranveer Singh, Jayeshbhai Jordaar was finally released. With lower expectations and reviews going into it, we can see why this film received such a tepid response at the box office. It made only 3.25 crores on its first day of release; yet even then it didn’t fare too well among critics or viewers alike. In this box office report, we compare the opening day collections of Jayeshbhai Jordaar while mentioning how they are similar to those made by Ranveer Sing’ past films. Collecting Rs. 3.25 cr when most of his other openings had…
The Tiger Shroff-starrer Heropanti 2 which released two weeks ago faced significant competition when it came to the Ajay Devgn-starrer Runway 34. Both films were overshadowed by KGF – Chapter 2, which continues its reign as one of the most successful Indian cinema export ever despite releasing just last month. Despite this, Heropanti 2 fared better in its second weekend than it did in its first weekend after bringing in an additional Rs 75 lakhs. Industry insiders attribute this to the several other high profile releases taking place at the same time while others point towards the fact that due…
Jersey, starring Shahid Kapoor and directed by Sriram Madhav, was released two months after originally planned. Nani’s original (unreleased) version of the movie had been remade with slight changes in some scenes. Audiences weren’t expecting high earnings so they didn’t spend money on this film. The movie did well for 3 weeks before going downhill due to lack of advertising and competition against other films already out like KGF-Chapter 2 and RRR. Other competing films include Runway 34, Heropanti2, and the Hollywood release Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness which decreased the number of people attending Jersey screenings over…
