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

[Gavin Feng]

Just saw RRR.

 

Vin Diesel should hire this director to direct F10. Most Hollywood studios should let these Indian filmmakers revive their franchises. Even though I'm not a big fan of these stories, I can feel more pure cinematic experience and enjoyment from them.

RRR is better than what Marvel has done since Endgame, what DC has done since their inception.

 

Supreme Entertainment. We need SS Rajamouli to go mainstream.

Rajamouli is better than the fast franchise, they don't deserve him

the scale of RRR and bahubali just make most indian blockbusters seem so puny

Pathetic presales for Dominion

[charlie Jatinder]

Less than ₹1cr in sales for OD. OD may be less than ₹5cr

I remember Jurassic series is super Popular in India,but nowadays seems it lost its fanbase.

5Cr is not a good OD for me.

India is well, currently not going into theaters at all.

 

Corrently only event movies are getting footfalls, rest movies are faltering left right and centre, and not even flops, but disasters..... 6 months in and there are only few hit movies.

 

And in Hollywood's case, it's either Marvel or bust, even Batman was meh, only non Marvel movie to do good in India is Godzilla vs Kong and that was released in 2021.

I thought Vikram just did like >100 crore this past weekend? Quite a rare feat for Tamil-language movie.

Even 18+ Kashmir Files managed to do 340+ crore.

I did say few hits..... Most of big South movies alao flopped.

 

Basically when talking about Hollywood, it's Marvel or bust.

That is just demonstrably untrue. Just in the south, there have been many hits this year. In Malayalam, Tamil, and Telugu. They made decent profits. You’re allowing a couple Bollywood flips to colour your view of the entire industry. 
 

And while highest grossers in Hollywood tend to be Marvel/Disney films, there are many films just this year that are proving that there’s an appetite for other types of films. The Lost City, Everything Everywhere All At Once, Dog, Top Gun: Maverick, etc.,

We literally had highest first quarter of the year 

 

Note: Numbers are bit off, but I assume they will be in all the years.

 

Just because Bollywood slate is bad doesn't mean box office isn't working. Hollywood even in 2019 was very Disney heavy.

You're right, Disney is the problem.

₹4.5cr ($550k) ish THU for JWD. Shows started at 4PM, so almost like 70% of a full day. 

 

Weekend probably around ₹25cr

 

Edited June 10, 2022 by charlie Jatinder

[charlie Jatinder]

JWD better today. Seems like will be ₹9-10cr OD. Weekend can be ₹40cr ($5M).

[Torontofan]

Didnt RRR and KGF 2 become all time hits in india this year so far?

 

It seems to me the market is now blockbuster heavy now.

 

People rather just watch other films on streaming. 

[charlie Jatinder]

Seems like ₹9cr OD (275k admits). ₹13.5cr including THU previews. 

JWFK was ₹16.5cr in same time. FK 4-days weekend ₹48cr, this probably ₹42-45cr.

Edited June 11, 2022 by charlie Jatinder

Jurassic World: Dominion

THU - ₹4.5cr
FRI - ₹9.5cr

SAT - ₹13.5cr

 

Total - ₹27.5cr

Weekend seems like will be ₹42-43cr Approx.

These are trade numbers in India. Also proved my suspicion that Disney deflate their numbers in India based on data I have for this and DSitMoM.

Finding it a bit ironic that Akshay Kumar's new movie was destroyed by a franchise Akshay Kumar made famous.
