RRR, a blockbuster movie directed by the famed SS Rajamouli who released his work just a while back, has had stellar success in spite of recent films. The colossal opening night performance was followed up with strong continuous revenue stream. It managed to beat out other successful films such as Panjamawadi or Sengaa Veettu Kadal which both had been released after it did. Though estimated to be one of the most successful films this year thanks to what it grossed within a short amount of time – it had still reached amazing heights and boasted an impressive collection just within…
Marvel fans have been eagerly anticipating the arrival of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness after hearing so much about it. Released just over a week ago, it has already seen success but may soon decline as well due to early selling tickets being available a whole month before its release. Opening with USD 187 million at the USA box office on Friday, there was only a small decrease in revenue on weekdays afterward – an impressive accomplishment considering that most other films follow this pattern. Although business will no doubt continue to fluctuate according to trends and popularity,…
The Ranveer Singh starring Jayeshbhai Jordaar that has been making headlines these last few weeks just released. Breaking records across 1250 screens overseas, Jayeshbhai Jordaars worldwide first-day gross of approx. 160k USD is above average; still no official numbers from the international markets yet to make predictions off of. However there are many who say that Day 1 numbers were favorable so far and hope they will only go up when these stats come out later this week. Australia box office 18,620 USD [Rs. 14.42 lacs] from 66 screens New Zealand box office 3,857 USD [Rs. 2.98 lacs] from 20…
One film, KGF-Chapter 2, has been tearing up the rulebook ever since its release. After a resounding opening weekend and stellar success for subsequent weeks, the movie broke records one after another. The latest numbers show that the movie earned Rs 420 crore, or US$60 million at domestic ticket sales alone. Its dubbed versions in Telugu and Tamil also excelled with collections at over Rs 200 crore each – testament to how potent Indian cinema can be. Moreover, this phenomenon extended beyond just India where Kappa మీద (an unofficial name) fetched USD 10million during an initial three day run -…
Based off our initial estimations of the box office running in its opening days, the film is performing at around Rs. 20 crores if we consider averaging a conservative projection. Being released during one of the most hectic periods for releases, it is expected to take anywhere between 4-5 hours (considering another million people see previews) for this particular psychological thriller release. With audiences leaving an average review about the plot, good performances – this may fail to grow on future weeks which leads us to believe there won’t be many people waiting eagerly in line come weekdays either. Regardless…
This week, Mahesh Babu-starrer Sarkaru Vaari Paata was released in the international markets. With lots of promotions and advertisements, it opened well- collecting $1,614,807 from Saturday’s release in America alone. This bodes well for the future prospects of the film. U.S.A box office Day 1 [Wed] – 947,885 USD from 483 locations Day 2 [Thu] – 271,251 USD from 466 locations Day 3 [Fri] – 291,388 USD from 488 locations Day 4 [Sat] – 104,867 USD from 174 locations [Partial data] Total – 1,614,807 USD
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…
