I still haven’t seen Deadpool, because I am swamped by Malayalam films. I wasn’t sure if I ever would bother with it, at least before it hit DVD. But then moviemavengal told me it uses an Indian song in the opening scene, and I was all in!
That also made me check out how it is doing in the Indian box office, just in case that Indian scored opening was part of a move on the Indian market.
Very very early box office figures are out, showing both Fitoor and Sanam Re had a slow opening, but Sanam Re was ever so slightly better. It remains to be seen what will happen in the next few days, and what the worldwide figures will look like.
Bollywoodhungama, once again satisfying the industry nerd within me, has come through with some interesting figures related to the two big Valentine’s releases. As expected, Ghayal Once Again and Sanam Teri Kasam both flat-lined last weekend, which should mean there is nothing standing in the way of a massive all-India hit with Fitoor. Only, late-breaking news shows that there is another player in the game, and he is coming in hard.
