Mumbai, February 1 - Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan and director Siddharth Anand's Fighter has a decent opening week at the domestic box office. The movie did well in urban centres, however, it failed to repeat the same in mass areas despite positive reviews and word of mouth. ## Also starring Deepika Padukone and Anil Kapoor, Fighter scored approximately 140.75 crores net collection in the first week (7 days). The movie was a Thursday release and it scored 118.50 crores net during the Republic Day weekend which was good. ## Fighter had a big drop of over 70% on Monday which raised doubts over the film's longevity at the box office, however, after that heavy drop, the movie is showing a better trend as it didn't drop drastically after that. Though the movie may struggle to score a big jump in the second weekend it is still in the race to top 200 crores net. ## The collection of 140.50 crores net makes Fighter the third biggest first-week grosser for a Hrithik Roshan-starrer after War and Krrish 3 (first 7 days). ## 1.

Ranbir Kapoor's 'Animal' Score Record Viewership On Netflix In The Opening Weekend

Mumbai, January 31 - After the glorious box office journey, Ranbir Kapoor-led Animal is proving to be a jackpot for Netflix with record viewership. Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the action drama film was put on streaming on January 26, eight weeks after the theatrical release in all versions. ## Animal, a topic of discussion on social media over its sensitive subject, scored a massive 20.8 million viewing hours from 6.2 million views in the first 3 days. It is easily the most-viewed post-theatrical release on Netflix in the opening weekend and it could become the most-viewed Indian film for the streamer. ## The movie has comfortably beaten the viewership of the recently released Pan India movie Salaar: Part 1 - Ceasefire, which has scored 10.30 million viewing hours from 3.5 million views in the first 10 days. Interestingly, Salaar was made available only after 4 weeks of theatrical run in South Indian languages. The Hindi version of the film will stream later. ## Previously, superstar Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan was reportedly the most viewed post-theatrical Indian release on Netflix with approximately 15 million viewing hours in the first weekend, and now, Animal has taken the top spot by a very good margin in terms of viewing hours though the long runtime of the film has helped it in a big way. ## Animal has been trending in the top 10 in 16 countries, including number 1 India, UAE, Maldives, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Qatar, and Mauritius. Salaar, on the other hand, is trending in 9 countries in its second week in the top 10.## Stay tuned...

'Sam Bahadur' Final Worldwide Box Office Collection and Records

Mumbai, January 28 - Actor Vicky Kaushal was one of the few actors who succeeded at the box office in 2023.

At once, it looked like the film might touch the 100 crore net mark but competition from new releases kept it under the magical mark. ## The movie has almost completed its box office journey with a net collection of around 94 crores which can be called hit numbers. Overseas, the movie minted around 18.50 crores gross for a worldwide gross of over 130 crores against a budget of around 50 crores.

The movie was censored with adult adult-only certificate and despite age restrictions, it opened to historic numbers at the box office by taking the opening of 76 crores gross (63.80 crores net) in India. ## The opening of the film was just a trailer for what was coming next as it went on the score over 200 crores net (240+ crores gross) in the 3-day opening weekend and 337+ crores net (402 crores gross) in the first full week. In Hindi, the movie scored over 300 crores net and became the 3rd biggest net grosser of the first week. ## The box office juggernaut of Animal continued in the second week in which the movie grossed 167 crores (139 crores net) with a drop of under 60%, followed by another rock-solid hold in the third week with 65 crores gross (54.50 crores net). Animal had a big drop in the 4th week due to the arrival of Shah Rukh Khan's Dunki and Prabhas-fronted Salaar, but since then, the movie showed strong legs and remained steady for the next couple of weeks. ## The steady performance of the film eventually helped the original Hindi version to go past the magical milestone of 500 crores net, making it only the 5th film after Baahubali, Pathaan, Gadar 2, and Jawan to achieve the feat. ## The movie has now almost finished its box office journey with a domestic gross collection of 660 crores.

Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone's 'Fighter' Opening Day Box Office Expectations

Mumbai, January 24 - Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone's aerial action thriller Fighter, which reunites the duo with director Siddharth Anand, is all set to hit the big screens tomorrow, January 25, amid a lot of expectations. ## Touted as one of its kind aerial actioner in Indian cinema, "Fighter" was censored with a 'U/A' certificate with an approved runtime of 2 hours and 43 minutes. The movie is expected to have a wide release on over 4200 screens nationwide, as per the industry buzz. ## "Fighter" was expected to be a frontloaded opener at the box office and keeping that in mind, the makers opened the bookings on January 20. The movie did receive a very good response in advances in the first 24 hours but the pace got slow as the release date got nearer. ## With a few hours to go for the first show to begin, the pre-sales are nearing 7 crores gross with over 214K tickets sold. The final sales are expected to be around 8 crores which is much better than Hrithik's last film "Vikram Vedha", but is still underwhelming as the scale of "Fighter" is huge, plus director Siddharth is coming after the mega-blockbuster success of "Pathaan" with superstar Shah Rukh Khan. ## The pre-sales trend of "Fighter" is indicating an opening in the range of 25 crores net and if it receives positive word of mouth, there is a good chance of it going beyond this mark as January 26 is the Republic Day holiday which means evening and night shows could go houseful on the opening day.## The star power involved will drive the opening of the film that initially looked like a frontloaded one. The Republic Day weekend should work in favour of it but the overall box office prospects beyond the Holiday frame will depend on what kind of reception it gets from paying audiences in the first 4-days. ## Stay tuned...
