Post-pandemic, something that has been happening rather strongly is that at least 90% of films – be upstanding or terrible – are opening way below expectations. Regardless of the merit one might see it as having, the film will open around 50%-70% less than it should’ve. And in this situation; it’s time to start re-evaluating our own personal expectations too. But, hey! At least until everything returns to a sense of normality again; which might well take another six months minimum anyway. The reason behind this is because even though the budget and promotion of Phone Bhoot would have warranted…
Finally, there is a movie which sees better collections on the second day than it does on the first. This is true for all movies but especially true for those who need to hold onto what little hope they have left. In order to do this, even sustainability is praised and progress means something remarkable and worth celebrating – unlike other times when it would have been nothing but respectable. Despite this, one cannot dismiss the 35% growth which came in from just Rs. 2 crore nett proceeds of Indian Day II collection from Friday-Saturday; even though it should’ve been…
With an additional 10.75 crore rupees coming in over the weekend, it seemed as if we were back to experiencing Kantara (Hindi) all over again! With this being the best weekend for the dubbed Kannada film yet, things are looking up for this fourth week. Though just like any other film released, there’s always uncertainty about how it will do during these last few weeks due to how unpredictable films can be during these final stages of filming; however so far things are looking promising and we’re sure that this next week will be even better than the previous one.…
The Rishab Shetty film Kantara which he wrote, directed, and starred in hit theaters last month. Since its release, the movie has gained critical acclaim from both critics and viewers alike. While at the box office it began well but grew exponentially through continued support from audiences. Currently, there are no projections for how much longer it will maintain this rate of success but with many people still flocking to see it, it will continue making profits until other films come out or something else takes over people’s attention. In this Box Office Report, we examine the recent hits of…
Ram Setu the much anticipated movie starring the famous actor Akshay Kumar finally premiered last Friday, October 27. Thanks to the celebration of Diwali – a Hindu festival commemorating victory of light over darkness – Ram-Setu was in theaters for an extended weekend domestically and internationally. Back home, it did decently well despite some stiff competition from other films, but overseas it was less than impressive. Overseas opening day earnings registered less-than-stellar numbers; disappointing some people who had waited so long for this release date which turned out to be just another Hollywood blockbuster wannabe with shoddy production values in…
The eagerly awaited film Ram Setu starring Akshay Kumar was released last week on Tuesday. Thanks to the festive holiday of Diwali, trade predictions were that this movie would receive a thunderous reception from audiences. But contrary to anticipation, it only had a tepid response in both the domestic and overseas markets. In fact, though there are decent numbers domestically for this movie, business abroad has been very low. In this box office report, we take a look at how well Ram Setu fares against other Akshay Kumar movies released overseas, and the numbers don’t seem all too promising. Shockingly,…
Akshay Kumar starrer Ram Setu did not receive a good response from the public, as it dropped significantly by 25% on the first day. With an estimated amount of Rs. 6.5 to Rs. 7 crore having been collected over four days, these stats are very low for Ram Setu considering its budget and cast size. This lacklustre performance can be attributed to poor ratings among audiences in metropolitan cities – which make up about 40% of India’s population – but also due to limited releases during Diwali holidays (a period during which 90% of Bollywood’s revenue is generated). Now that…
This coming weekend promises to be an eventful one for Indian cinema with the release of two movies (Ram Setu and Thank God) each having already garnered close to Rs.60 crores from Tuesday-Friday alone. Ideally, the amount collected so far should total at least Rs.100 crores but it does not seem likely that this will happen – only time will tell if this number will eventually rise to 100 crore rupees or fall even lower to less than 75 crore rupees by Sunday night; after all, money is always tight! Let’s talk about Ram Setu first. The film has collected…
The long-awaited extended weekend for Diwali has come to an end. And after careful observation, we’re confident about what came out of it – both Ram Setu and Thank God received a good amount of showtime and projection throughout the week with favorable reviews. The movies were never going up against any major blockbuster flicks but still managed to bring in audiences due to their fair level of entertainment value. All they had left to do was maintain this consistency through Sunday which would translate into stable earnings at day’s end. In this aspect, Ram Setu managed to garner enough…
