Any A lister Bollywood star worth his salt in an action heavy movie with some catchy music produced by a top studio like YRF will break records. Pathaan breaking records and doing well is nothing new. It is expected. And honestly even SRK knows this. They have been hyping this as part of the spy universe for a long time now what with tiger showing up and speculations of hrithik from war joining too. All that has created unprecedented buzz and hype for it. It helps that Siddharth can stage decent looking action scenes that look cool and international quality to some degree. Very few in Bollywood can do that.

War did not have IMAX. This has. IMAX helps a lot.

Pathan will easily open 55+ and beat War. War opened 50+ when it had competition from a big pan india south film and Joker. Pathan has zero competition.

They should have done the same for Prey. The other studios are trendsetters. These folks just thought "hey...we have a good thin..those guys made money..let's do it too!!" Good for the movie though. I hope it benefits all creatively involved.

Domestic January has been utterly boring. Ah well. At least overseas is still awesome.

Lions gate!!! Seriously? This needs paramount, universal, wb, Sony and a proper musical/drama director. Ugh.

This needs Baz Luhrmann or someone similar type of director. Antoine is not the right guy for this. Already feels like it will flop badly under him.

Indiana Jones. It will not come close to previous one.

Hopefully, actuals are 14+ on Saturday. 10+ Sunday. 10+ Monday. 41+ 4 day

Movie is solid, but tracking is shit. Still has a chance to do Alita numbers worldwide if they pull their socks.

I want Fast 10 to do well enough for Louis Letterier sake. Couldn't care less about the cast.

Internal screenings say it is a terrible movie.

Knew it puss 2 would be a wom sensation. Even without holidays it is staying flat. Impressive.

It was fun, but had no stakes.

Yup. 50M including p&a. Will be a solid money maker. 30+ domestically. 50+ OS

Yeah...surprising. TBf there was no other choice for moviegoers in December and so far until Pathan. Cirkus looked trash and bombed hard deservedly.

Gerard has been delivering some solid action / thriller movies of late.

Overall, an epicly disappointing week. Let's see what the weekend brings. Matching TGM domestically is going to be a tall task let alone avatar 1 domestically.

Megan killed Avatar's legs. Imagine if some big blockbuster had released. It did what it did thanks to holidays and hardly any competition. Top gun will remain on top.

Username makes sense.

What does "rest of the world" mean boxoffice wise? I am curious to know in which countries it made a total of 120+ million.

Ok

Sid Anand sure knows how to make banger of a trailer. Lots of subpar CGI in Pathan and weird dialogue delivery, but audience will eat up cuz it looks cool. Will seriously dent avatar, as all PLFs will be given to it. Srk is massively popular overseas, so expecting Bollywood/Indian cinema record breaking numbers.

It will get there somehow. 700 looks tough.
