Raja Shivaji has maintained a steady presence at the box office as it enters its third week of release. While the initial momentum has naturally slowed down, the film is now approaching a significant historical milestone in Marathi cinema. On its 18th day, which was the third Monday, the movie collected a net of 1.15 crore across India. This represents a 66.7 percent drop from the previous day's collection of 3.45 crore, a trend that is expected for a weekday following a weekend. The language-wise breakdown for Day 18 shows that the Marathi version remains the primary driver of revenue, contributing 1.00 crore from 1,401 shows with an overall occupancy of 17 percent. The Hindi version added 0.15 crore from 764 shows, operating at an 8 percent occupancy level. These numbers bring the total India net collection to 85.70 crore, with the Marathi version accounting for 62.00 crore and the Hindi version contributing 23.70 crore so far. The total India gross has now reached 101.42 crore. Regional occupancy data for the Marathi version highlights strong interest in key cities like Pune and Mumbai. In Pune, the film saw an overall occupancy of 19.8 percent across 270 shows, with night screenings peaking at 23 percent. Mumbai followed with 337 shows and an overall occupancy of 15.3 percent. On the Hindi front, the film saw a 7.8 percent occupancy in both Ahmedabad and Surat, while the National Capital Region recorded 6 percent occupancy across 45 shows. This suggests that while the Marathi version holds strong in its home state, the Hindi version is finding its audience primarily in specific urban pockets. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film's performance in national chains on Monday saw a total of approximately 3,540 tickets sold. Breaking this down, PVR contributed 1,310 tickets, INOX followed with 1,240, and Cinepolis added around 990 tickets. On the BookMyShow platform, the movie sold 38.92 thousand tickets on its third Monday, bringing the total ticket sales on the site to over 23.32 lakh. These figures indicate that the movie still has a functional level of demand despite the length of its theatrical run. Looking at the broader financial picture, the film added 0.10 crore from overseas markets on Day 18, taking the total overseas gross to 4.00 crore. This brings the total worldwide gross collection to 105.42 crore. In North America, however, the film has struggled to find significant footing, closing its recent gross at 202 thousand dollars, which is categorized as a flop in that specific territory. Domestically, the film had a strong start with a Week 1 collection of 52.65 crore, followed by 24.30 crore in its second week. The most important story for Raja Shivaji right now is its pursuit of the all-time Marathi box office record. The film is currently just 5 crore away from surpassing Sairat to become the number one Marathi movie of all time. If it continues at this pace, it is projected to reach a worldwide total of 110 crore by the end of its third week. Achieving this would cement its legacy as a historic success and a new benchmark for Marathi cinema on the global stage.

Bhooth Bangla is a delightful horror-comedy that brings back the iconic collaboration of Akshay Kumar and filmmaker Priyadarshan. The film follows a London-based man who inherits a massive, cursed ancestral palace in India and gets caught in a series of spooky yet hilarious situations while facing a mythological demon This mix of chills and chuckles has clearly worked wonders, as the movie has completed its fourth week with a very strong performance at the box office. Ending its fourth week on a high note, the film has managed to collect a total net of 14.30 crore over the last seven days. On its 28th day, the movie collected 1.25 crore net, showing zero drop from the previous day. Holding steady like this on a Thursday is a clear sign that the word-of-mouth remains positive and the audience is still coming in to enjoy the laughs. The film had a wide reach this week, and on Day 28 alone, it was screened across 4,061 shows. This brings the cumulative show count since the release to a massive 196,561 shows. Even after nearly a month in theaters, the movie is commanding a significant number of screens, which has helped it maintain a consistent flow of revenue. The overall performance for the fourth week has been exceptional, with the film raking in a net collection of 14.30 crore. This is a massive number that places it at the very top of the charts when compared to other major post-pandemic releases in their fourth weeks. Here is the day-wise breakdown for the week.

It has officially surpassed the lifetime collections of OMG 2, moving into the third spot on his list of post-covid hits. Currently, Sooryavanshi and Housefull 5 hold the first and second positions. It is fascinating to see that Bhooth Bangla fourth-week collection of 14.30 crore is actually higher than what his other hits managed during the same period, outperforming Sooryavanshi (6.43 crore), OMG 2 (7.40 crore), and Housefull 5 (2.30 crore) in their respective fourth weeks.

Bhooth Bangla continues to hold its ground as it completes 27 days at the box office. On its fourth Wednesday, the film earned 1.25 crore net in India. This reflects a 26.5 percent drop from the 1.70 crore it collected on Tuesday, which is a standard mid-week trend for a film this far into its theatrical run. Despite the natural slowdown, the horror-comedy managed to retain a significant presence with 4,043 shows across the country, showing that there is still consistent demand for the movie. Looking at the overall figures, the total India net collection has now reached 163.05 crore. When we account for taxes, the gross domestic collection stands at 193.35 crore. The film has also seen steady contributions from the international market, adding 0.05 crore on its 27th day. This brings the total overseas gross to 53.25 crore, pushing the worldwide total gross collection to 246.60 crore. It is now very close to crossing the 250 crore mark globally, which is a significant achievement for a film in this genre. The ticket sales data on BookMyShow gives us a clear picture of where Bhooth Bangla stands compared to other big releases from the 2025-26 period during their respective fourth weeks. In the ranking of the highest ticket sales specifically for a fourth Wednesday, the film has grabbed the fifth spot. It follows major hits like Dhurandhar (179K), Chhaava (81K), Dhurandhar 2 (62K), and Saiyaara (19K). For this specific Wednesday, Bhooth Bangla recorded 18.16K ticket sales on the platform, which is a natural adjustment from the 34.67K sold on Tuesday. Even with this mid-week trend, the total tickets sold on BMS have officially crossed the 30.53 lakh mark, showing just how much ground the film has covered over the past month. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In terms of performance at major national cinema chains, the film recorded about 5,000 ticket sales on Wednesday. PVR led the way with approximately 2,140 tickets sold, while INOX followed with around 2,080 and Cinepolis recorded about 780 tickets. This shows that the film is still pulling a consistent crowd in multiplexes. This steady movement is exactly what has helped the film build such a strong total as it moves toward the end of its fourth week. The journey of Bhooth Bangla so far has been quite resilient. While daily collections are naturally lower than the initial weeks, the fact that it is still holding onto over 4,000 shows is a strong indicator of its sustainability. Overall, the box office journey of Bhooth Bangla remains impressive. It has successfully navigated through various competition and maintained a steady flow of collections. As it nears the end of its fourth week, the focus is now on how it will perform over the coming weekend and whether it can reach the 250 crore worldwide milestone before the end of its theatrical run.

Bhooth Bangla is proving that the horror-comedy genre has a very deep reservoir of audience interest, even as it nears the end of its first month in theatres. On its 26th day, which fell on a Tuesday, the film netted 1.70 crore across the domestic market. What is particularly interesting here is the 26 per cent jump in collections compared to Monday's haul of 1.35 crore. This kind of mid-week growth in the fourth week is a clear indicator that the film is running on a sustained rhythm rather than just early momentum. To put this performance into perspective, this Tuesday's haul has placed the project at the 16th spot among the top 50 highest Day 26 collections in Hindi cinema history. It has managed to outpace several massive hits within the same genre. Specifically, it moved past the Day 26 numbers of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, which earned 1.29 crore, and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, which stood at 1.10 crore. Even the original Stree, which was known for its incredible endurance, recorded a lower 0.87 crore on its 26th day. This comparison highlights just how robust the current run has been for this latest instalment. The film's performance today has earned it a spot among the all-time greats, as it now ranks 18th in the list of the highest Day 26 collections in Indian cinema history. Check out the Top 50 Day 26 Box Office Collections here This steady flow of interest is clearly reflected in the digital bookings as well. On BookMyShow, the film recorded approximately 35 thousand ticket sales for the day, bringing its total ticket tally on the platform to over 3 million since its release. With 4,059 shows still running across India, the movie has managed to reach a domestic net total of 161.80 crore. This translates to an India gross of 191.90 crore, showing that the movie remains a significant contributor to the theatrical ecosystem nearly a month after its debut. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The major national multiplex chains continue to act as a steady fuel source for these earnings. On Tuesday, PVR led the contributions with approximately 7.6 thousand tickets sold. INOX followed with about 4.9 thousand, and Cinepolis chipped in with roughly 3 thousand tickets. When you look at the combined total of over 15 thousand tickets from these three major chains, it is evident that urban centers are still providing a healthy flow of patrons. This steady participation from premium venues is what allows the film to maintain a respectable average despite being in its fourth week. Looking at specific regions like the National Capital Region (NCR), the performance is quite granular. With nearly 500 shows running in this belt alone, the overall occupancy stood at a healthy 19.3 percent. Interestingly, the interest peaked during the night shows at 24 percent, while the morning shows started at a modest 10 percent. This late-day surge is a typical trend for horror-themed films, where the evening atmosphere often draws in a larger crowd looking for a communal viewing experience. On the international front, the film is wrapping up its run with a smaller but consistent contribution, adding 0.05 crore on its 26th day. This takes the total overseas bounty to 53.20 crore. When we consolidate the domestic gross and international receipts, the worldwide gross collection has now climbed to 245.10 crore. The film is now essentially on a final dash toward the 250 crore milestone globally, a figure that cements its status as a major commercial winner. Ultimately, the logic behind these numbers suggests that Bhooth Bangla has tapped into a demographic that values theatrical longevity over a front-loaded opening. By consistently outperforming established benchmarks in its fourth week, the film has secured its place as a reliable performer. As the theatrical window begins to narrow, the focus will be on how much further it can push its lifetime record before making its digital transition.

Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is showing a level of durability that most sequels struggle to achieve, especially as it enters its 55th day in theaters. This Tuesday, the film added 0.40 crore to its domestic net, which is a notable figure for an eighth-week run. What is particularly interesting here is the slight improvement in momentum compared to the start of the week. The Tuesday collection represents a 14.3 percent growth over Monday’s 0.35 crore, suggesting that the film is still finding a fresh audience even at this late stage.

Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge reaching its 50th day is more than just a box office milestone; it represents a fundamental shift in the landscape of Indian cinema. In an era where most big-budget films struggle to stay relevant beyond their third week, this sequel has managed to maintain its grip on the audience through sheer narrative scale and technical excellence. The impact it has left is profound, as it restored the big-screen event experience that had become a rarity. By blending uncompromising action with a gritty, deep-rooted story, director Aditya Dhar created a film that did not just follow trends but set entirely new benchmarks for what an Indian blockbuster can achieve. The scale of this production was a gamble that paid off in ways the industry is still trying to digest. Choosing an A-rating and a runtime that exceeded typical commercial standards usually limits a film potential, but here, it actually helped the movie find its core audience. It brought back a sense of life to the theaters, especially in the Hindi belt, where the demand for high-quality, high-stakes cinema was at an all-time high. The success of the Dhurandhar franchise has now set a gold standard for sequels, proving that if the vision is bold enough, the audience will stay committed for months, not just days. It has set a high bar of expectations that every upcoming project will now find difficult to match. As we look at the numbers on day 50, the film is still going strong with 721 shows across India. According to the live tracking for today, it has already netted 0.36 crore, which pushes the total India net collection to a staggering 1,140.53 crore. The domestic gross has now reached 1,365.03 crore. These figures are not just records; they are a testament to the film durability. By day 46, it achieved the historic feat of surpassing the worldwide gross of the legendary Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, which stood at 1,788.06 crore. With this, it has officially claimed the second spot on the list of highest-grossing Indian films of all time globally, trailing only behind Dangal. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Beyond the total collection figures, the movie has rewritten the rulebook of Indian cinema by setting several unprecedented benchmarks. It is not just about the final tally but how quickly and consistently the film dominated various territories. Take a look at some of the industry firsts and records that Dhurandhar 2 has established during its historic 50-day run: The 1000 Crore Pioneer: It is the first-ever Hindi film to cross the ₹1,000 crore net mark in India. Sustained Momentum: It set a new industry benchmark by maintaining Hindi net collections of ₹40+ crore for 11 consecutive days. Fastest Milestones: It became the fastest Hindi film to reach ₹500 crore in 6 days and ₹1,000 crore worldwide in just 7 days. Unmatched Single Days: It remains the only movie to score over ₹100 crore net in Hindi in a single day twice. The Non-China/Gulf King: It is the highest-grossing Indian film worldwide excluding the China and Gulf markets. Australia and UK Leader: It emerged as the No. 1 Indian film of all time in Australia with over A$8M and the highest-grossing Hindi film ever in the United Kingdom with over £4.39M.

Kara has wrapped up its opening week on a relatively low note, failing to maintain the momentum it showed during its initial two days. On its seventh day, the film collected 1.58 crore net across India, which is a 21 percent decline from Tuesday's 2.00 crore. This brings the first-week total net collection to 28.73 crore, with the domestic gross standing at 33.14 crore. For a film that started with over 6 crore on its opening day, finishing the week under the 30 crore mark indicates a lukewarm response from the general audience. The film's trajectory shows a clear struggle to sustain interest after the first Friday. While it peaked on its second day with 6.95 crore, the collections began to slide even on Saturday and Sunday, followed by a steep crash on Monday where it fell to 1.80 crore. Wednesday's performance confirms this downward trend. Language-wise, the Tamil version remains the only notable contributor with 1.11 crore from 2,217 shows on day 7, while the Telugu version added a minor 0.47 crore. Despite the wide release across Southern markets, the movie has found it difficult to generate significant footfalls beyond the opening weekend. In terms of the overall language performance, the Tamil version has predictably led the way as the film's primary market. During the first week, it netted 23.26 crore while seeing an average occupancy of 24.6 percent, showing that the home audience provided the most consistent support. The Telugu version further supplemented the collections by contributing 5.47 crore net, with its average occupancy standing at 18.6 percent. By bringing these two together, the movie finished its seven-day domestic run with a net total of 28.73 crore.

The international trend saw its peak on Saturday with 2.75 crore gross, followed by a gradual decline during the weekdays.

While it has managed to cross the 40 crore mark worldwide, the heavy reliance on the first two days is evident. Without a significant turnaround in the second weekend, the movie is likely to finish its theatrical run with an average lifetime collection, as new releases will begin to take over its existing screen space.

Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is proving to be a rare case of a blockbuster that simply refuses to exit the charts, even as it nears the end of its seventh week. On its 48th day, the film collected a net of 55 lakh across India. What is interesting about this number is that it represents a clear growth from Monday's collection of 50 lakh. Seeing a spike in collections during the seventh week is quite uncommon for big-budget films, but it shows that the audience interest is still active during the mid-week screenings. This growth in collection was supported by a significant jump in both the show count and the occupancy levels. On Tuesday, the number of shows increased to 833, up from 753 shows on Monday. Even more impressive was the jump in occupancy, which climbed to 29.6 percent, nearly doubling from the 16.9 percent recorded on the previous day. While a 5 lakh increase might seem small for a film of this scale, seeing any growth on a Tuesday during the seventh week is a rare occurrence in the box office cycle. This sudden surge suggests that the film is still capturing the attention of Spy Universe Freeks and repeat audiences who are taking advantage of the wider show availability. The upward trend is also reflected in the online ticket sales on BookMyShow. For its seventh Tuesday, the film sold 14.92k tickets on the platform, which is a healthy increase from the 12.84k tickets sold on Monday. This steady rise in daily ticket sales confirms that the increase in net revenue was a direct result of higher footfalls across the country. It is a testament to the film's strong word-of-mouth that people are still actively booking tickets seven weeks into the theatrical run. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In the premium national cinema chains including PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis, the film continues to find a place on the daily charts, remarkably sitting in the Top 5 even on its 48th day. On Tuesday, these chains combined for a total of 11,375 tickets for Dhurandhar 2. PVR led the way with approximately 5,745 tickets, followed by INOX with 3,790 tickets, and Cinepolis with 1,840 tickets. These sales were spread across 488 shows in 302 venues, resulting in a solid occupancy of 14 percent. For a film this late in its run, maintaining such occupancy in urban centers is a massive achievement, especially when you consider it is outperforming several much newer releases. For instance, it sold significantly more tickets than Patriot with its 6,400 tickets and Lee Cronin's The Mummy which moved 5,250 tickets. It is also well ahead of other active titles like Ek Din and Project Hail Mary, showing that the legacy of this sequel is still stronger than many fresh options on the marquee. Looking at the bigger picture, the total India net collection has now reached a staggering 1,139.67 crore. A major part of this success comes from the Hindi version, which has earned 1,071.41 crore net so far with a consistent occupancy of 33.2 percent over its lifetime. The regional markets have also provided strong support, with the Telugu version contributing 42.95 crore and the Tamil version adding 19.69 crore. The Kannada and Malayalam versions have also added their shares, with 3.85 crore and 1.77 crore net respectively. This balanced multi-language performance has been the backbone of the film's total domestic gross, which now stands at 1,364.02 crore. On the international front, the film's run is just as noteworthy, with the total overseas gross reaching 426.15 crore. According to data shared by Venky Box Office, the film earned 6k dollars on Monday in the North American market, taking its total there to 28.56 million dollars. This global interest, combined with the massive domestic performance across 5.14 lakh shows in India, has pushed the overall worldwide gross for Dhurandhar 2 to a total of 1,790.17 crore. As the film approaches its 50th day in theaters, the focus remains on how much more it can add to its historic tally before finishing its theatrical run.

Patriot recorded a net collection of 1.70 crore on its first Monday in India. For a film featuring two major legends, this number is relatively low and suggests that the star power is not translating into a strong weekday hold. This takes the total India net collection to 23.35 crore, while the domestic gross stands at 27.09 crore after the first four days of release. The film operated with an average occupancy of 19 percent on Monday across a total of 1,781 shows. While this occupancy percentage might seem decent, the low daily collection reveals that the film is mostly playing in smaller centers or lower-priced screens. Across its entire run so far, the movie has been played across 9,020 shows, but the inability to cross the 2 crore mark on a Monday for a project of this scale is a point of concern. Ticket sales on BookMyShow also show a significant cooling period. The film sold 41.18K tickets on Monday, which is a sharp drop from its pre-sales and opening day figures. Since its release, the platform has recorded over 8.46 lakh tickets in total. The steady decline from a strong 250K on Friday to just 41K on Monday indicates that the initial curiosity has settled quite quickly.

Across PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis, the movie managed to sell roughly 6,490 tickets on Monday from 628 shows, resulting in a gross of around 14.25 lakh. PVR was the biggest contributor with nearly 3,930 tickets from 280 shows. INOX and Cinepolis followed with approximately 1,340 tickets from 159 shows and 1,220 tickets from 189 shows, respectively. With an average occupancy of just 5.41 percent in these national chains, the film is essentially playing to very few people in high-end multiplexes, which is a disappointing trend for a big-budget release. On the international front, the film is finding better support. It added 2 crore from overseas markets on Monday, taking its total international gross to 40.50 crore. According to data from Venky Box Office, the North America market has contributed a total of approximately 2.80 crore ($334K) so far, with Saturday alone bringing in around 1.20 crore ($144K). This international revenue has been crucial in pushing the worldwide gross collection to 67.59 crore. While the global numbers look more respectable, the film needs a much stronger performance in the domestic market if it wants to improve its final standing. Looking ahead, Patriot will need to maintain a steady run over the rest of the week. With a total India net of 23.35 crore, it is clear that the movie is facing stiff competition and is not quite reaching the heights expected from its legendary cast. The coming days will show if it can hold its current levels or if the collections will continue to slide as it faces more competition in the coming weeks.

Dhurandhar 2 has finally seen a significant shift in its box office trajectory after an incredible run. For the first time in 47 days, the daily collection has slipped below the 1 crore mark. It managed to earn 0.50 crore net on its seventh Monday, ending a streak of consistency that is rarely seen in Indian cinema. This marks the first time since its release that the film has failed to hit the seven-figure mark daily, which is quite an achievement considering it has been playing for nearly seven weeks. On Day 47, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge earned a net of 0.50 crore across its 753 remaining shows. This figure saw a drop of about 61.8 percent compared to Sunday's collection of 1.31 crore, which is a typical trend for a seventh Monday in theaters. With this addition, the total India net collection has reached 1,139.10 crore, while the domestic gross stands at 1,363.37 crore. The film also added another 0.15 crore from international markets on Monday, taking the total overseas gross to 426.15 crore. This pushes the overall worldwide gross collection to 1,789.52 crore so far, bringing it closer to yet another global milestone. The primary reason for this dip is the sudden change in screen allocation following the arrival of several new releases on May 1st. While the film was consistently playing on over 1,000 shows across the country during its previous weeks, that number has seen a sharp decline over the seventh weekend. On Friday, the show count stood at 851, which then shifted to 747 on Saturday and 719 on Sunday. By Monday, it was operating on 753 shows. This reduction happened because the multiplex inventory is now shared with fresh titles like the Marathi epic Raja Shivaji, the Hollywood sequel The Devil Wears Prada 2, and others like Patriot and Kara. These new movies have captured a significant portion of the screens, leaving fewer slots for holdover movies and directly affecting the daily net. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) A closer look at the national chains shows how the film is performing in the premium segments. Across PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis, it managed to sell roughly 4,420 tickets on Monday, contributing around 12 lakh to the daily gross. This was achieved across a combined 479 shows. Breaking it down further, PVR accounted for approximately 2,450 tickets from 231 shows, while INOX added about 1,430 tickets across 165 shows. Cinepolis rounded off the tally with nearly 540 tickets from its 83 shows. Despite the heavy competition from new releases, maintaining these 479 shows after seven weeks in the national chains is a clear indicator of the movie's sustained demand. When looking at ticket sales on BookMyShow, the impact of these new releases becomes even more evident. The seventh weekend was still relatively healthy, with 27.09K tickets sold on Friday and 21.22K on Sunday. But with fewer shows and the typical Monday drop, the sales fell to 12.84K tickets. When you combine this with the competition from existing holdovers like Bhooth Bangla and Michael, it is clear that the screening space is now shared among many players, leaving less room for Dhurandhar 2 to maintain its previous high-volume momentum. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Despite the daily drop, the overall journey of the film remains one of the most successful in history. From a massive first week to its current standing, the film has managed to cross the 1,100 crore mark comfortably. To see how the film has progressed over the last seven weeks, we can look at the weekly net collection breakdown in India: Week 1 Collection: ₹674.17 Cr Week 2 Collection: ₹263.65 Cr Week 3 Collection: ₹110.60 Cr Week 4 Collection: ₹54.70 Cr Week 5 Collection: ₹19.52 Cr Week 6 Collection: ₹12.45 Cr 7th Friday (Day 44): ₹1.05 Cr 7th Saturday (Day 45): ₹1.15 Cr 7th Sunday (Day 46): ₹1.31 Cr 7th Monday (Day 47): ₹0.50 Cr Looking ahead, the Hindi version remains the primary contributor, bringing in 0.49 crore of the total 0.50 crore Monday collection. The Telugu version contributed about 0.01 crore from a very limited 24 shows. While daily numbers might stay below the 1 crore mark from here on, the movie has already achieved a monumental status in Indian cinema history. It has set a standard for sequels that few films can match, maintaining interest across seven long weeks. With a worldwide gross of 1,789.52 crore, Dhurandhar 2 has officially become the second highest-grossing Indian film of all time. It has managed to surpass the massive lifetime global collection of Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, leaving it only behind Aamir Khan starrer Dangal on the all-time charts. Having secured a total India net of 1,139.10 crore, the focus now remains on how much further it can push its global tally before its historic theatrical run finally comes to an end.

The opening weekend numbers for movies released on May 1 show Raja Shivaji leading the domestic market with a 33.90 crore net collection. While the Marathi biopic found strong footing in India, Patriot focused its success overseas, grossing 38.50 crore internationally despite a downward trend in domestic shows. Along with The Devil Wears Prada 2, which held steady in premium multiplexes, the weekend data highlights a concentrated audience interest in big-ticket regional and international content over smaller releases like Ek Din and Jetlee.

With an India net of 33.90 crore, it benefited from massive show counts and strong regional loyalty. Looking at the BookMyShow data, the film sold nearly 1 million tickets in its opening weekend, with a total of 998,290 bookings. The national multiplex chains (PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis) played a significant role, contributing 222,406 tickets across the three days. Interestingly, Sunday saw a strong recovery in these chains with 82,028 tickets sold, surpassing the opening Friday numbers of 81,866, indicating healthy word-of-mouth in urban centers. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In contrast, the Malayalam release Patriot tells a story of two different markets. In India, the film started with a promising 10 crore on Friday but struggled to sustain that momentum, dropping to 5.50 crore by Sunday. This 10.6 percent dip from Saturday suggests that the initial buzz was driven by fan excitement rather than general audience growth. However, its overseas performance is where the film truly shines. It grossed 38.50 crore internationally in just three days, which is significantly higher than its total India gross of 25.11 crore. In North America specifically, it delivered a total weekend gross of 334 thousand dollars, making it the third-biggest opening for a Malayalam film in that region. The Hollywood entrant, The Devil Wears Prada 2, maintained a very steady profile throughout the weekend. After an opening day net of 3.80 crore (including pre-sales bringing the first day total to 5.50 crore), it saw a 5.3 percent growth on Saturday with 4.00 crore. While Sunday saw a minor 3.7 percent dip to 3.85 crore, the film's national chain presence remained robust. It sold over 150,000 tickets across PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis over the three days, proving that urban multiplex audiences were consistently interested. On BookMyShow alone, it trended with over 36,180 tickets booked in a single 24-hour period on Sunday. Ek Din followed a volatile path during its opening weekend, struggling to find a consistent audience despite a late-weekend surge. The film opened on Friday with a net collection of 1.15 crore across 1,961 shows, supported by 9,559 ticket sales in national chains like PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis. Saturday saw a 13 percent drop as collections dipped to 1.00 crore, while ticket sales in these premium chains fell significantly to 6,339. However, the film managed a notable recovery on Sunday, netting 1.70 crore across 1,490 shows with a recorded occupancy of 14.4 percent. While the Sunday performance provided a much-needed bounce-back, the national chain ticket sales only rose slightly to 7,240, indicating that the bulk of the Sunday growth came from single screens or non-national multiplexes. With a total India net collection of 3.85 crore and a modest overseas gross of 0.25 crore, the film's worldwide gross stands at 3.65 crore, suggesting it may struggle to maintain its screen count in the coming week. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Jetlee faced a challenging opening weekend, beginning its run with a net collection of 1.10 crore on Friday. Despite operating across 893 shows, the film struggled to build momentum in the premium national chains, selling only 4,151 tickets on the first day. This downward trend intensified on Saturday, where collections dropped by 27.3 percent to reach 0.80 crore. By Sunday, the film saw another significant decline of 31.3 percent, netting just 0.55 crore. Interestingly, while digital platforms recorded a surge of over 58,000 tickets for Sunday, the actual theatrical turnout in national chains was at its lowest, with only 1,599 tickets sold across PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis. This disconnect between digital bookings and ground-level footfalls resulted in a domestic weekend total of 2.45 crore net. When combined with an overseas gross of 0.85 crore, Jetlee ends its first three days with a worldwide gross collection of 3.69 crore, a figure that places it at the bottom of the weekend major releases. National Chain Ticket Sales : Raja Shivaji: 222,406 Total Tickets | Friday: 81,866 | Saturday: 58,512 | Sunday: 82,028 The Devil Wears Prada 2: 154,878 Total Tickets | Friday: 49,328 | Saturday: 53,127 | Sunday: 52,423 Patriot: 126,107 Total Tickets | Friday: 54,814 | Saturday: 38,980 | Sunday: 32,313 Ek Din: 23,138 Total Tickets | Friday: 9,559 | Saturday: 6,339 | Sunday: 7,240 Jetlee: 7,907 Total Tickets | Friday: 4,151 | Saturday: 2,157 | Sunday: 1,599 Raja Shivaji has undeniably stolen the show domestically... Overall, Raja Shivaji is setting new benchmarks for Marathi cinema, while Patriot highlights the growing power of the Malayalam diaspora in global box office tallies. The Devil Wears Prada 2 remains a reliable option for urban viewers, but for Ek Din and Jetlee, the road ahead looks difficult as show counts are likely to be redistributed to the better-performing regional titles in the coming week.
