their analysis is nothing much and sometimes contradictory but the numbers and updates are credit worthy.

I just watched the single best trailer to come out of India this year. The Kannada movie KGF released its trailer in 5 languages today and it is pretty god damn awesome

 

 

Kannada:

 

 

Telugu:

 

Hindi

 

Tamil

 

Malayalam

 

I think this will be big in Karnataka this Christmas

 

You should see this director's Film "Ugramm"

DAY All-India Nett (Hindi + Tamil, Telugu)

THU 52.25 (50.75 + 1.5)

FRI 29.25 (28.25 + 1.0*) -44.0%

 

*According to BOI Southern India has seen the worse drop, so I call hokum on the 1.0 Day 2 Producer Figure for Tamil and Telugu. Either way, guessing 52.25 + 29.25 + 26.3 (-10%) + 23.7 (-10%) = 131.5 4-day and life-time total close to 190cr nett.

THUGS Day 3 Early Trends 23-25cr - Another big drop

https://www.addatoday.com/2018/11/thugs-of-hindostan-3rd-day-saturday.html

 

4-day probably looking at 125-130cr. Won't add much more than 60cr after that if at all that. 185-190cr lifetime.

To those who have seen ToH, does it have the Pirates of the Caribbean vibe to it as I felt from the trailers and promo? Does it copy any thing from that franchise like story beats/looks/etc?

Thugs is the third movie I can recall being just killed by social media - Shandaar and Race 3 being the others.

[grim22]

Further fall on Saturday. Aamir Khan delivering an all round dud after a long long time. Talaash was a flop but had decent reviews

 

Thugs Of Hindostan took another hit on Saturday with collections in the 22.5-23 crore nett range. The drop is in the region of 15-20% and it has taken its three day total to 100 crore nett plus. The three day weekend is in the same range as Race 3 but that film had first day falling on pre Eid. 

 

 

 

The film is just about the first day where it smashed almost very record in the book but since then the downfall has been rapid. It reminds one of the 1996 film Trimurti which also did the same but went down fast. The film may well show a further drop on Sunday.

 

 

The film has not only had a ditto 3 day weekend as Race 3 across India but the collection break up is almost ditto which is sheer coincidence. If we look at the three main chains of PVR, Inox and Cinepolis and this is were bulk of the high ends are. Race 3 grossed 34.80 crore nett in these chains in 3 days and Thugs of Hindostan has done 34.25 crore apprx from the same three chains.

 

 

Another coincidence is the single screen business of the two is same over the first three days. Thugs Of Hindustan is 29.50 crore nett apprx and Race 3 was 29.05 crore nett. The edge here is that Thugs of Hindustan got the big holiday on day one when single screens are mad and the second day also where again single screens remain at high levels. Race 3 was pre eid so missed out on single screen business on day one at many places otherwise it would have been better in single screens despite Thugs Of Hindustan having the better date.

Talash was not a flop actually. Being off beat was sold and lower prices with controlled budget. 95cr was huge 6 years back for a film like that. Trade is a bit conservative but had it as a success https://boxofficeindia.com/movie.php?movieid=1197

Thug 3 Sunday opening portends another drop

 https://www.addatoday.com/2018/11/thugs-of-hindostan-sunday-4th-day.html

 

52.25 + 29.25 + 24 (assuming Producer figures come above 22.5-23) + 22 = 127.5 4-day at most

 

Don't think it can cross 190 nett lifetime

127.5 + 55-60 rest of the run = 182.5-187.5 

 

Bajirao Mastani, one of the most leggiest big films, had a 4-day holiday (Fri-Mon) opening of 57cr nett and did 185cr+. Thugs did 52+ on Day 1 itself and is looking at a similar total. BM also had to overcome competition from Dilwale.

This has to count as one of the biggest disappointments ever. I would say it doesn’t even get to the 180 Cr mark and falls short of Race 3.

 

Aamir’s first flop since Mangal Pandey. Crazy run he had with so many diverse movies. The most populist one bit the dust.

 

Amitabh seems to have escaped any criticism or blame for the movie weirdly enough 

[a2k]

Addatoday projects 19-20cr Sunday, 15-19% down from Sat (very big drop for a Sunday).

 

124-125cr Nett 4-day, less than PRDP 4-day despite 10% hike in ticket rates over the 4-day weekend.

 

As prices will fall big over weekdays, even bigger than usual to compensate for the hike, a target of 165-170cr total is reasonable and not even assured! Shocking.

I honestly haven’t seen a movie with this bad word of mouth in a while.

 

I think people are more angry about the missed opportunity than the actual movie here.

Quote

Thugs Of Hindostan collected 117.50 crore nett in its extended four day weekend with dropping collections post the huge opening. The first was 42% of its extended weekend collections and it pretty much tells the story of the film. 

 

 

The film has basically collected less than what Sanju collected in three days with no holidays and a similar amount to what Tiger Zinda Hai collected in 3 days but again no holidays. The big holiday was on day one but some parts of the country remained in the holiday zone over all the four days.

 

 

The film has done its best business where there was a prolonged holiday but even here the collections are not what they should be. At the end of the its a very poor result and it basically means that both Eid and Diwali have gone wrong this year though Race 3 on Eid was actually not as bad as Thugs Of Hindostan.

 

 

 

Thursday - 50,00,00,000 apprx

 

 

Friday - 28,00,00,000 apprx

 

 

Saturday - 22,75,00,000 apprx

 

 

Sunday - 16,75,00,000 apprx

 

 

 

TOTAL - 1,17,50,00,000 apprx

 

 

The film is going to suffer badly on Monday but the question is to what levels it will go down to. the film has practically done its business over the four days and there is not much more to come.

 

 

Diwali has not lived up to expectations many times in the past ten years and this is one more addition to the list. The blockbusters are comfortably going over 300 crore nett even without holidays yet Diwali has only seen one film get over 200 crore nett in terms of raw nett collections and even that just squeezed past 200 crore nett.

Sunday drop is extraordinarily bad.

 

BOI does not add non-hindi versions and can be a tad conservative even otherwise, so the 4-day producer should be close to 122cr, and that's equally bad. Under 160cr lifetime. Must have sold less tickets than Talaash 6 years back.

 

Dilwale's 145-150cr is much better in comparison as it had a clash and ticket prices have increased twice after Dilwale (10% for Sanju and 10% for Thugs) apart from the normal inflation.

Diwali really needs an out and out family movie to hit it big again. Bollywood doesn't seem to be releasing those movies on Diwali anymore. Prem Ratan Dhan Payo was probably the last one, and that was a 90s movie which somehow made its way to the 2010s. 

 

It shouldn't be this hard tbh. Happy New Year, Thugs etc. needed a couple more passes at the script to make them better. HNY especially just needed one final trim to make it more streamlined, but Farah Khan's excess is well known at this point. 

[a2k]

Tamil + Telugu collection staying flat don't make any sense. The movie has lost biggest screenings in Southern India.

 

 

Either way, 123cr is the official producer figure. Breakdown is 119cr Hindi (close to 117.5cr BOI figure) and 4cr Tamil and Telugu.

Thing is that I watched this film and I compare it to the 80s film Kranti and it lacked the basics. Simple story and good songs... If you are going to make a film of this nature it has to be simple and entertaining and this was not.

 

Thing about big B even in his worst films, he does not really act badly and is usually the only redeeming aspect of those films. Like I remember his duds in the late 90s and even though for a few moments Big B's acting shines through all the crap.

 

Point being shitty Big B, is still above average lol.

Stunning, addatoday projects only 6-7cr nett Monday for Thugs. If producer figure for Monday is 7-8 tomorrow then 155cr total is the target imo.
