Indian Box Office Thread | Jawan overtakes Pathaan, becomes highest grossing Indian movie of 2023

[Fake]

Latest update from deadline: $21.2M (141 crore gross)

 

2nd weekend was $5.7M(38 crore), so it needs just 2.55x multiplier to hit $30M (200 crore gross). Should happen easily.

Ok, this looks good, but will most likely flop at the box office because of lack of star power and commercial content

 

 

 

 

Lack of star power seriously? 

This will not do gangbuster numbers but it will be fine at B.O which is what we should expect anyway

On the other hand The Jungle Book has continued to be ultra strong and started collecting better than even Fan as the week progressed. The film has now collected122.5 crore* and is all set to go past Airlift [129 crore] this weekend. It would emerge as the biggest grosser of 2016 in 17 days flat. Blockbuster!

*Final numbers awaited

Nice write-up about the localization work on TJB for India's distribution.

 

Disney released Jon Favreau’s “The Jungle Book” in India on April 8, a week before its U.S. release and is reaping rich dividends. In 12 days of release the film has grossed $23.7 million, making it the highest Hollywood grosser of all time, “Furious 7” earned $23.4 million in 2015.)

“The Jungle Book” also staved off the challenge of “Fan,” starring the popular Shah Rukh Khan that released April 15 and is currently underperforming with a $13.8 million gross.

“The Jungle Book” release is the most recent example of Hollywood studios localizing content in India to increase audience share. The film was dubbed into Hindi, Tamil and Telugu, in addition to the English language version and was rolled out across 1,640 screens across the country.

....

If these work, along with other major studio release campaigns, Hollywood’s market share in India could expand beyond the current 10%. Meanwhile, Disney which already holds the Bollywood crown with the all-time top box office grosser in “PK,”, now has the Hollywood tiara as well.

Shame about Fan, saw it on a whim last weekend and really enjoyed it.

Wowzers! Almost grossed 10+ million more than the 2nd highest grossing hollywood movie of all time, and still chugging along. I am having a hard time seeing any upcoming Hollywood movie (2016/2017) challenging that number. Mind boggling, fantabulous, mesmerizing, spell binding, earth shattering, home run, tabad tod, dhuandaar performance...running out of adjectives.

I think the sequel is the only movie with a legit chance of breaking this record until inflation plays a massive role again. This really was a unique case of all the right elements coming together: wholesome family entertainer + India centric story and characters + superb marketing that cunningly tapped into the country's nostalgia for one specific song/show.

[Infernus]

This is unbelievable. I totally expected around 20m$ before release but even 25m$ would have been too much to expect, then. Now its crossing 35m$. Thats crazy!

4th weekend: $2.2M (-45%)

 

If it can have a good drop against CW this week, then $40M is within reach!!!
