It was a dull Eid at the box office as Ajay Devgn’s Runway 34 has failed to show significant growth on the big holiday. According to estimates, the film grew by about 20% from the opening day to put up a total in the range of Rs. 3.50 to 3.85 crores. This takes the 5 day total of Runway 34 to approx. Rs. 19 crores. This is a poor result for the film featuring Ajay Devgn and Amitabh Bachchan as the lifetime business will end in the range of Rs. 30 crore. To look at things, Runway 34 was never…
The story-driven action blockbuster, Heropanti 2 could not capitalize on this Eid weekend – given that it had such poor showing through the whole week. Early estimates note that Tiger Shroff’s second installment of his Khiladi franchise has managed to earn around Rs. 120-130 Crore in less than two weeks – before screenings were even cancelled due to them opening during Ramzan month. This falls short when looking at his success with similar Hindi language movies like ‘Action Replayy’ or ‘Munnabhai M Kabhi Had Ke Duwase’. However it was the audience who ultimately chose the lack of interest for Heropanti…
After a promising opening weekend of Rs. 15.25 crores, Heropanti 2 slowed down considerably on Monday as it took in between Rs. 1.65 and 1.75 crores for the day, which put them close to their upper limit with about 17-18 crores accumulated thus far. On Tuesday– because of the holidays– there is a chance for some spike in revenues from those who decide to go see the movie during this time; but probably would have been better suited if they had released on Sunday when ticket sales are usually higher anyway (double digits) so then they could’ve received around 10…
Ajay Devgan’s latest film, Drishyam was released just over one month ago at the China box office. Even with a mediocre initial turnout (compared to other recent Bollywood releases), business slowed substantially after only 18 days. Due to security issues within the country, sections of urban China are off limits and some reports suggest these factors are contributing to low returns on investment for filmmakers such as those distributing Ajay’s newest release. Hopes for a brighter future lie mainly in going online or finding alternate markets outside of China. It seems that trouble might follow films like Drishyam around so…
With an earning of Rs. 373.33 crore so far, KGF: Chapter 2 (Hindi) continues to rule the box office and is highly anticipated by many people across India. What makes it unique? One key factor is how the film earned Rs. 3.75 crore on Monday which continued through Friday, and still maintained a low drop rate with earnings of Rs. 4 crore yesterday due to it being Saturday-Sunday in parts of India where Muslims go to watch films during Eid al-Adha, the celebration marking Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son for God’s commandment before God intervened at the last minute,…
The latest release from Bollywood star Ajay Devgn, ‘Drishyam’ released just two weeks ago at the Chinese Box Office. Drawing a significant starting number, there was little room for change in profits from this newest release from India as opposed to many of his past titles. Outfitted with anti-epidemic enforcement since traces of Covid-19 have resurfaced across some areas in China; it seems that everything going wrong couldn’t hinder the success of Drishyam when it came to Asia’s leading cinema exhibition venue – no matter how hard they tried (Trade Predictions). With another slow week coming up for Asian Movie…
Runway 34 saw a massive decline in the number of people coming through after the first few days. When we looked at the numbers, they showed that our stock had dropped by around 20% just from Day 1 to Day 3; which was not promising. It seems many people were put off due to Aajay Devgn and Amitabh Bachchan being two major actors featured in this film, both on screen and for advertisement – putting money behind all of it only set them up for greater failure because ultimately, these early trends weren’t looking good. Yesterday [Eid] would mark one…
It was no surprise that KGF 2 led the race among all other Hindi movies released this year, collecting large sums of money from audiences who came out in droves from across India. Alongside remarkable box office collections starting at release date, the film continued to flourish during its run with mass centers leading the charge at collection counters – though surely not enough to bridge the gap between first-day earnings and those made days later due to increasingly higher turnouts. Despite this, numbers remained consistent on Sunday as a surplus of Rs. 9.27 crore helped push total earnings up…
Ajay Devgn’s Runway 34 is taking flight and soaring through the weekend. After a shaky take-off, the movie is on its way up as far as box office numbers go. Early estimates show that it has raked in anywhere from Rs. 7 crore to 8 crore rupees so far – enough to bring its three-day opening weekend total close to 15 crore rupees. It opened with just Rs 3 lakhs but recovered later with gross earnings of 12 crores this Saturday. This number might seem small when one considers the stars attached, but there is an upward trend across the…
The latest Action franchise, Heropanti 2 starring Tiger Shroff in the leading role, has seen a significant decrease of 20% on Sunday. Based off these early estimates, it can be said that this film has earned about Rs.4-4.3 crores on Sunday to take its three-day total to around Rs.15 crore rupees (Rs.1 million dollars). While films typically see higher revenues over the weekends, Heropanti 2 actually saw collection rates go down on days two and three; raking in Rs6 crore rupees (approximately $950k) on its first day before making only R5 crore ($800k) on Saturday. It’ll be interesting to observe…
