The trending so far is reminiscent of Pushpa (Hindi), which screened over a number of weeks before being dethroned by Allu Arjun starrer. Where they differ though is how much time was needed for Pushpa (Hindi) to become popular. From its first day out, all it took were consistent box office numbers to reach success. Conversely, Kantara (Hindi)’s popularity wasn’t recognized until after a few weeks in theaters– but only time will tell if this trend will continue or…

Yes, there had been event films that did quite well over the weekend and then continued on to do well even during weekdays. But when it came to non-event films, the trend has been sorely missed all throughout 2022. Moreover, for Uunchai it was also required that Monday collections were actually up from Friday – or else it wasn’t going to make its budget back; but considering how it doesn’t…

It was a fantastic launch of Marvel’s latest release of Black Panther – Wakanda Forever. Like its predecessor, Black Adam, this one too did not come with much promotion or advertisement and still found success among audiences here in India. Clearly, Marvel has established themselves within the country and as long as there are movies coming out of their own set superhero universe; people will purchase it regardless of when they came out during the week-end because eventually viewers would focus on what really matters: content. This also happened with this latest offering which managed to make an initial total…
