First Three Days (Opening Weekend) Box Office Comparision of Animal, Jawan, and Pathaan In India and Worldwide

Mumbai, December 4 - Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor scripted history with his adult-rated action drama Animal which set the box office on fire in its opening weekend. The Sandeep Reddy Vanga's directorial was the number 1 film in the world during the weekend of December 1-3 and became the 4th Indian movie to achieve the feat. ## The response to Animal at the Ticket window can be termed a revolution in the modern era despite it being not able to beat Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan's first three days' collections. But the fact that Animal faced show limitations due to long run time as well as being an adult-rated film and having fewer screens compared to Jawan, makes it a remarkable success. ## As said, Animal scored the second biggest opening weekend ever for a Bollywood movie at the domestic as well as the worldwide box office. However, there was one more film that wasn't far behind Animal after the first three days: Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan. ## Here is Animal Vs Jawan Vs Pathaan Box Office Comparison in Hindi and Worldwide (3 Days)MovieIndia Net (Hindi)India GrossOverseasWorldwideAnimal₹ 201.53 Cr (₹ 176.58 Cr)₹ 240.50 Cr₹ 115.50 Cr₹ 356.00 CrJawan₹ 206.06 Cr (₹ 180.45 Cr)₹ 246.00 Cr₹ 137.20 Cr₹ 383.20 CrPathaan₹ 166.75 Cr (₹ 161.00 Cr)₹ 201.00 Cr₹ 122.00 Cr₹ 313.00 Cr## Note* - The overseas data of Animal haven't been provided separately by the producers. It is an estimated figure taken from the worldwide gross and might vary with the official collection. ## As the table suggests, there isn't much difference between Animal and Jawan at the domestic box office though the latter is ahead by just 6 crores. However, Jawan is much ahead of the Ranbir-led blockbuster in the international markets, mainly because of the mega-stardom of SRK outside India. Pathaan, on the other hand, managed to cross 200 crores gross domestically and 300 crores overseas after the first three days but was outgrossed by Animal in the overall numbers. ## As said, the success of Animal will speak louder in the coming years due to various reasons. It is the movie that has consolidated Ranbir's position among the biggest stars of Hindi cinema and also put director Sandeep Reddy Vanga in red-hot demand though he is already working with some of the biggest stars of the country.## Stay tuned...

'Animal' Becomes First Film To Score Three Consecutive 50+ Crore Net In Hindi

Mumbai, December 3 - Animal becomes the first film in the history of Indian cinema to score three consecutive 50+ crores net collections in the Hindi language. No other film has done more than twice before and Animal has created history by doing this with lesser screens and an adult rating. ## Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga and starring Ranbir Kapoor, Animal scored 54.75 crores net on the first day in Hindi, followed by 58.37 crores on the second day. It is heading towards 64 crores net on its third day as per the early estimates, making the hat-trick of 50+ crores scores. ## Earlier, Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan hit a 50+ crores net collection in Hindi on two consecutive days and it did twice while his Jawan also did once. Pathaan currently has the highest 50+ crores days (4 days) in Hindi and it is likely to be the number 1 in this race for now. ## Aamir Khan's Thugs of Hindostan was the first movie to hit the 50 crore net mark and since then, there have been 17 such days and 13 of them have come this year. The fifty crores net mark, which used to be a hard nut to crack a few years back, has become a frequent milestone in Hindi. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: 'Animal' and 'Sam Bahadur' First Sunday Early Estimates

Mumbai, November 3 - Animal headed for its biggest day at the box office in Hindi as well as the all-India level. The film recorded excellent occupancies throughout the day. The first Sunday of the film is one of the best days of the year in terms of occupancy with an average of around 75% which is simply sensational. ## The Ranbir Kapoor-led action drama put up the opening weekend of 200+ crores net, after scoring an estimated 71+ crores net collection and can go up to 73 crores on Sunday/the third day. In Hindi, Animal scored an estimated 64-65 crores, taking the total to around 178 crores which is the second biggest opening weekend ever after Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan. ## The collections of Animal are truly historical and coming on almost par with Jawan despite the fewer screens and adult rating makes it bigger than anyone else. The Monday collection will give an idea of where the movie is heading but good advances for tomorrow indicate a smooth run during the weekdays and it is expected to post a huge first-week total. ## Meanwhile, Vicky Kaushal-starrer war biopic Sam Bahadur scores a good opening weekend keeping the big clash with Animal in mind. On the first Sunday, the film scored an estimated 10-10.50 crores net collection, pushing the total 3-day weekend collection to around 25.50 crores net. ## Sam Bahadur has done well in catering to its target audience which is mainly in the multiplex. The Monday collection will hold the key but with positive word of mouth, a decent to good hold is very much expected in the coming days. ## Stay tuned...
