Another story! How Amitabh took his only western film role, not the only role he had ever been offered, but the only role he chose to take. And no, of course it wasn’t for the money.

Box Office Report: 2.0 Opens Up New Markets, Big in Australia and Germany
Don’t believe the hype! 2.0 did very very good, but still not as good as many other films of the past. The box office is still sliding. At least, the international box office. From what I am seeing, the Indian box office truly was record breaking. (as always numbers from bollywoodhungama.com)
Box Office: Padmavat Drops Down Under
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)
Box Office: Toilet Goes the Other Way in Australia
Huh? Huh? How great is that headline! If you have previously run across the myth of the Coriolis effect that doesn’t actually work that way? Because otherwise it doesn’t make any sense. I may have overreached. (as always figures are from bollywoodhungama)
Box Office Report: Mom Does Good, Ninnu Kori Does Very Good
I’m gonna try to be good and get back on the Box Office report wagon. Because it really doesn’t mean anything unless you do it every week so you have context. Even if there isn’t that much of a story this week.
Global Box Office: Rangoon is an Also Ran, and I Meet a Kannada Movie Star!
Well, Rangoon is definitely the top pick for the weekend. But it was a terrible terrible weekend, so that is not saying much. The only big hit per screen was the one with inflated ticket prices (more on that later).
Box Office! They Know that North America Had a 4 Day Weekend, Right?
Global figures are out for Dear Zindagi! Yaaaay! And it did best in North America! Which has no significance whatsoever because North America had an extra 2 days in the weekend! And on the other hand, had a lot of competition here! But being a hit in Australia, now THAT is significant! (as always, the figures come from Rentracks courtesy of Bollywoodhungama)
