Yes, that is a click bait title. I’m not even sorry. Because, it’s true! It did really terrible box office, for a major release, especially compared with the other films that are in week 3 and 6. (as always, figures from bollywoodhungama courtesy of renttrack)
Oh this is exciting! Big big money, like record breaking money. And for a female lead picture. A very raunchy adult female lead picture. Oh, and also Carry On Jatta 2, but that was a forgone conclusion. (as always, figures from renttrack by way of bollywoodhungama)
Happy Tuesday! Now that the holiday is over, I’m trying to get back on a regular schedule but it is HARD. Anyway, that means Tuesday box office time. (as always, figures from renttrack by way of bollywoodhungama)
Sorry, didn’t realize the microphone was sensitive enough to pick it up. I promise, I’m not torturing her, unless refusing to give her a second dinner just because she forgot she had the first dinner (she real dumb) is considered torture. Oh, also box office discussion.
I was going to come up with something clever, but now, simple is best. Every male star in every industry is struggling to make a decent box office, and Alia and the Savatri biopic sweep in and break records without breaking a sweat. (as always, figures from renttrack by way of bollywoodhungama)
Welcome back to Box Office! I skipped last week, just because, no real reason. But now I am back! In time for excitement with yet another good Telugu release. (as always, figures courtesy of renttrack by way of Bollywoodhungama)
Does that headline work? I think it works. The point is, FINALLY, there is an old time massive Telugu hit at the American box office. And also the Australian box office. But not Canada, never Canada. (as always, numbers courtesy of Renttrack by way of bollywoodhungama)
Well, it’s not the best pun title, but it’s something. The point is, bad week at the box office this week! October did terribly, and took all the screens, so nothing else had any space. (as always, figures courtesy of renttrack courtesy of Bollywoodhungama)
Well, this is encouraging! Quality triumphs! Raid is holding surprisingly steady in week 4, while Baaghi 2 is dropping like a bag of sand. Does that make sense? It’s very late/early, my weekend adrenaline hasn’t worn off and I’m having a hard time sleeping. (as always, figures from rentrack by way of bollywoodhungama)
Happy Tuesday! Box office time!!!! What fun! And I am actually excited to see how Raid and Hichki are doing. (as always, figures from bollywoodhungama)
Box Office! I’m back! After several weeks away. I missed the Pari reports, but now I am back because I am so curious about how Raid did. (as always, figures from renttrack by way of bollywoodhungama)
Another short one. But there is a little bit of Dog, including a furiously wagging tail, which is very cute. Also, I like my shirt. (same content more or less as this post here)
Well, this was interesting. Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety won the weekend on only 66 screens easily beating Padman and Padmavat (at least, this week). (figures as always courtesy of Rentrack by way of Bollywoodhungama)
Box office day! Yaaaaay! And there is a lot in the mix this week, Padman still playing and Aiyaary came out and Padmavat is limping to a conclusion. (numbers as always from rentrack by way of bollywoodhungama)
This is an interesting week! Two movies on way more screens than I expected, and one on way less. Although the per screen total is about what I expected for all of them. (as always, figures from rentrack by way of bollywoodhungama)
Well, this is a boring week. Padmavat continues as you would expect based on last week. Bhaagamathie too, everything is kind of predictable. Except for Australia! And New Zealand. What is going on with those kooky Kiwis and Aussies? (figures courtesy of bollywoodhungama, as always)
There isn’t much to analyze this week, Padmavat is doing crazy good everywhere, you can just sort of accept that. And also, secondly, Bhagamathie is also doing good. But, WHY? I am going to take a massive logical leap and you can decide if it makes sense or not.
Did I do that right? Anyway, what I mean to say in the title is that the Tiger box office is finally dropping off. And nothing else has shown up to pick up the slack, so it is yet another bleak and dreary week at the box office. Well, except for China where Indian films reign supreme.
Can I cackle with glee at being correct, while still being depressed that the box office hasn’t sprung back? I think I can! Especially because the box office is bright depending on where you look.
Another youtube video! I am on a roll. You can ignore it if you want, but I am trying to get back in the youtube groove, see if it will do me any good for blog views (so far, better than podcasts, but still not great).
Well, Tiger has begun to drop off significantly. Which means now is the week when we can start comparing it with other overseas hits and see how good it really did, removed from all the hysteria of the “finally a big box office hit in 2017!” coverage.
Well, Tiger is still going strong! Generally great box office to varying degrees worldwide. Everything else is in its shadow.
Box Office! Finally, an exciting one! I haven’t even bothered the last few weeks, because there’s just been NOTHING coming out, and nothing to talk about.
Kind of a dull week. Nothing terribly unexpected. But I might as well report on how Kapil Sharma and Vidya Balan are doing. SPOILERS: one is much better than the other.
Huh. One of those weeks that makes you realize the NRI audience really is not the same everywhere. In fact, it made me dig up that Karan Johar quote when he broke down the audience. (figures courtesy of Renttrack by way of Bollywoodhungama)
