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

[charlie Jatinder]

2nd weekend biggest ever for Hollywood likely.

 

Endgame was ₹63cr. Avatar 2 is ₹39cr in 2 days, weekend should be ₹68cr range.

[upriser7]

So Saturday was around $3.1M

Disney cutting ticket prices, probably to improve admits but I think bad decision. Could potentially lead to missing EG record.

I would say good decision because I was waiting for reduction of prices since it opened to watch it.

Heard from my friend that his IMAX 3D tix were 4x the usual price there.

Definitely. On OW it was even ~6x

[Borobudur]

As long as the discount encourage more people to see the movie！ Especially India moviegoers are quite price sensitive. Hope Avatar 2 can leg out beautifully. Is New year a holiday here too in India?

Already near 2x by the of 2nd weekend. Is it too much to ask for 3x leg? Too bad Disney didn't include 3D surcharge here, that is a misinterpretation of India's potential.

Dude ticket prices were already high af. You want to add 3D surcharge too? Do you want people to go to theatres or stay at home.

I mean they don't include 3D surcharge in their box office reporting.

eh. he isn't asking to increase ticket price.

right now say a 3D ticket is ₹325 & 2D is ₹295. the extra ₹30 is 3D charge, that isn't being reported in GROSS, that's usual practice here. reason that is given is that since distributor don't get any share from that, they don't report it.

Seems fair enough 

[charlie Jatinder]

Also for all the hype of increased ticket prices, prices are par other Hollywood tentpoles. May be some cinema has surcharge of ₹10/20 over Dr Strange, but it's largely same.

 

The ticket price increase that is helping gross is basically in South India. back in 2019, ticket prices in Telangana state were regulated at ₹125 in Hyderabad city, now that limit has been increased to ₹300, that's why you have APTS doing such numbers for films nowadays.

Endgame did ₹29cr NETT in AP/Nizam, that's equivalent of ~₹60-65cr today. Similarly TN and Kerala have around 50% increases. 

 

North India price increase is around 10-15% may be.

I check AEG doing around 311Cr at same time
