can this beat bahubali 2 WW.

Baahubali 1 & 2 movie box office grosses are exaggerated.  They will make sure BB2 will remain no.1.

 

My partner (in my second movie) bought distribution rights to Baahubali 1 for Karnataka State. While the trades and paid media were reporting bogus grosses of Rs. 79 crores in Karnataka, the actual was Rs. 43 Crores.

 

So, the only Bahubali 2 grosses that are trustworthy are the ones tracked by Rentrak locations like USA, Australia, UK etc.

That is some fudge. Isn't there tax implications of overreporting that much.

What is the china number you are projection for Dangal. I am thinking USD $120m is possible with extension.

These are never officially released by the producer/distributor. So they cleverly release these exaggerated grosses through media outlets, which they will deny come tax time and quote a much lower gross. That is standard operating practice in Indian film industry. Bollywood has gotten a lot better with the advent of Hollywood studious into India.

 

The southern film industries grosses are filled with massive exaggerations.

I have felt that way for some time too....

A big fudge, no doubt. These guys, I don't mean just Baahubali team, the film producer/Distributor community and some brokers just report fake numbers. These fake grosses are used to sell movies to local distributors.

 

The other reason for the fudge is to please the fans of various heroes who essentially duke it out online with fake numbers.

In bollywood , this is less but some producers do it.

Krishh 3 started reporting it's gross rather than nett to report on breaking records.

It's figure of 230 is highly controversial with many sites reporting 179 instead.

That seems to happen a lot with Hrithik Roshan movies. I have heard that Rajesh Roshan was responsible for the fudge.

 

You are right in that Bollywood seems to have its act together for the most part.

That would be awesome. It is great to see a high quality movie like Dangal do this well in China.

Lol....you can't be serious if you assume that those afore mentioned movies are/would be flops in China. You just had/are having a bit too high expectations.

 

For me, the grosses for Rogue One & Beauty and the Beast, are good/normal.

 

China gross:

 

Rogue One = $69M

BATB (2017) = $85M

 

And you call yourself a chinese box office expert? Shame on you. ?

Thor Ragnorak will have Doctor Strange also.

I don't call movies who made $ 70 - 100m a flop just because some others break out and made $ 150 - 200m.
