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

[charlie Jatinder]

WB reports ₹5cr ($675k) opening weekend estimates on 1137 screens.

 

IMAX format did about 10% of overall on just 18 screens.

Very average pre-sales for Wonder Woman 1984 in India, lagging behind TENET.

 

Few months back, was thinking a good increase on original but now with HBO Max release 2 days after theatrical release and dull awareness, will struggle to match the opening of original.

 

Opening day of DCEU films in India

 

Birds Of Prey - ₹0.8cr

Shazam - ₹3.6cr

Aquaman - ₹6.94cr (₹2.6cr Previews)

Justice League - ₹7.7cr

Wonder Woman - ₹3cr

Batman V Superman - ₹10.94cr (₹5.8cr Previews)

[charlie Jatinder]

₹2.75cr OD including Previews of ₹1cr for WW84. Low but hey some theaters get good occupancies so ✌🏼️

Tamil film Master releasing tomorrow. Massive pre-sales and release. Almost as if there is no COVID or anything. There is 50% seating restriction but likely on ground it will be ignored.

 

Expecting ₹30-35cr ($4.5-5mn) opening day and ₹120-130cr 5 days opening weekend.

Didn't know a Vijay film was coming out. I like watching Vijay's stuff, even if they're mostly not good, so I'll probably be giving this a go when it comes out on digital.

@charlie Jatinder  what are your opening predictions for KGF2/RRR? in a COVID-free world

Outside telugu states , for various dubbed versions, RRR is depending only on the director's credentials.

back in 2018, unknown product KGF made 45c nett in hindi alone, film has gained popularity post release on satellite/prime. 

kgf2 trailer has 150mn+ views in less than 1 week.
