'Shehzada' And 'Ant-Man 3' Opening Day/First Friday Early Estimates

Mumbai, February 17 - Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon's Shehzada is heading towards a decent opening day at the box office. As per the early estimates, the action comedy has scored around 7 crores net which might go a little higher depending on the night shows. ## Directed by Rohit Dhawan, Shezada had low pre-sales, however, the spot booking was reasonably better which saves the day for the film. Plus, a holiday on Saturday in the form of Mahashivratri also ensures better night shows. The word of mouth is mixed for the film. ## The advance booking for tomorrow is a little better than the opening day, however, there isn't much growth which could mean a decent opening weekend. The 3-day weekend collection is eyeing 27 crores (+/-) which wasn't even looking anywhere near considering the pre-sales.## Meanwhile, Marvel Studios' Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania too couldn't get going, though it scored higher than Shehzada. As per the early estimates, the superhero movie scored 9-10 crores net with mixed word of mouth. It is the second-lowest start for a Marvel title in India post the covid-19 pandemic, just ahead of Eternals which opened to 7.34 crores net. ## Stay tuned...

Kartik Aaryan's 'Shehzada' Opening Day Box Office Projection

Mumbai, February 16 - After the blockbuster start of the year with Shah Rukh Khan's "Pathaan", all eyes are now on Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon's "Shehzada" which releases on February 17. Kartik is returning to the big screen after delivering the biggest hit of his career in the form of "Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2". ## "Shehzada", which is the remake of the Telugu movie "Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo", is directed by Rohit Dhawan whose last directorial was "Dishoom" (2016). "Shehzada" has been carrying a decent buzz, however, the advance booking which opened this week is really poor and doesn't give much hope as far as the opening of the film is concerned. ## The action comedy film will have a wide release on over 3000 screens across the country. As of 1 PM on February 16, "Shehzada" has sold approx. 22K tickets, including approx. 12K tix at three national chains (PVR, INOX, Cinepolis) for the opening day. It is one of the lowest counts of advance tickets post the covid-19 pandemic for a well-known Bollywood actor. ## Kartik's last movie "Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2" had clocked approx. 6.50 crores gross in advance sales for the opening day and the movie opened at 14.11 crores net which was the second biggest opening post-pandemic for a Bollywood title at that time.## "Shehzada", considering its pre-sales as of now, is looking like a 5-7 crores net starter. As has been the case in the last couple of years, the film will heavily depend on spot bookings and positive word of mouth. The opening, however, can see a boost due to the Mahashivrati holiday the next day (Feb. 18). But, despite all the aspects, "Shehzada" doesn't seem like scoring more than 8 crores unless it gets extremely positive WOM.## Though "Shezada" is a family-friendly film, it is not a front-loaded one, so the makers will be hoping it gets positive reception from critics and audiences. However, the road still is easy for it going forward as it will be up against Marvel Studios' "Ant-Man 3" which has much better pre-sales and releasing on the same day.## Stay tuned...

Ajay Devgn's Long-Awaited Sports Biopic 'Maidaan' To Be Postponed Again?

Mumbai, February 10 - It seems there is no easy way to get out of jail for Ajay Devgn-fronted "Maidaan". The long-awaited biographical sports drama film is getting difficulties in its release which has led to multiple delays over the last year or so. The movie was supposed to release in February this year, however, the makers recently announced its postponement to May 12, 2023, release. ## Now, according to the latest reports, the Amit Sharma-directed flick has been pushed again to June this year. Bollywood Hungama reports that "Maidaan" has been shifted to June 23 release, which is still a complex date to bring the film to the big screen. ## June 2023 is already flooded with two tentpole titles, "Jawan" (June 2) and "Adipurush" (June 16). The news about the postponement of "Maidaan" is not yet confirmed by the makers so it is possible that they stick to May 12 release which may give it a smooth run for 2-3 weeks compared to June where it will have to meet the bigger titles at the box office. ## Produced by Bayview Projects, and Zee Studios, "Maidaan" is based on the golden era of Indian football (1952–1962).

Pathaan Third Thursday Early Estimates

Mumbai, February 9 - Pathaan is continuing with its steady run at the box office as the early estimate collections suggest 5.50-6 crores net on its third Thursday which is around a 10-12% drop from yesterday's collections. Even yesterday the film had shown a similar drop.## The third Thursday collections will take the total collections of Pathaan to around 459cr net box office mark as per early estimates. Pathaan has another free week and the first sign of competition will arrive the next week with Shehzada. Overall the job has been done and Pathaan has emerged as one of the biggest box-office hits of the last 15 years. ## The overseas numbers are never seen before as the film is heading for close to the 50 million mark. The previous best were Dangal, Padmaavat, Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Dhoom3 all of them were in the 28-30 million range. The overseas record will stay for some years unless another Shah Rukh Khan starrer gets huge appreciation there which is possible with Dunki which is directed by Raj Kumar Hirani. Also, the release date is better than Pathaan as Xmas is the best period for overseas business. ## The overseas numbers helped Pathaan to put a massive worldwide collection where it has beaten every film in the Hindi film industry in the first phase. When the run of Pathaan will end it will be among the greatest worldwide grossers along with Dangal, Bahubali: The Conclusion, KGF2, RRR, and Bajrangi Bhaijaan.## Stay tuned...

Pathaan Third Wednesday Early Estimates; Crosses 450 Crores Mark

Mumbai, February 8 - Pathaan continues to hold well after a fantastic second weekend where it emerged as one of the biggest second weekends ever. As per the early estimates, the movie scored around 6.50-7 crores net on its third Wednesday. ## The film is showing a drop of around 10-12% daily which is a good sign. The ticket rates of the film are now more to regular levels and hence the collections are looking good only but with the same pricing as on weekends, the collections would have been excellent. The ticket rates should have been kept on the higher side as it would have helped the film to cross the Bahubali2 numbers which are still possible but not easy. ## The third Wednesday collections will take the total collections of Pathaan to around 453Cr net box office mark becoming the only Bollywood film in history to cross this landmark. The film needs around 50Cr to join the 500cr mark which will make it one of the biggest blockbusters of the last 15 years and 60cr to emerge as the highest-grossing film ever in Hindi languages. ## Pathaan has a free run of another week or so and this has proved to be a huge plus for the film. There should be higher footfalls in the next couple of days for Pathaan due to valentine's week which although is not an official holiday but multiplexes do see higher walk-ins. The worldwide numbers are historic and overseas numbers are never seen before for Pathaan. The type of run Pathaan witnessed overseas will make its record stand for many many years to come.## Stay tuned...

Pathaan Surpasses KGF 2 To Become Second Highest-Grossing Hindi Language Film Domestically

Mumbai, February 8 - Superstar Shah Rukh Khan's "Pathaan" is continuing with its blockbuster run at the box office and has crossed 850 crores gross worldwide. The movie has already broken several records for a Bollywood as well as an Indian movie at the domestic and overseas box office. ## Directed by Siddharth Anand, "Pathaan" is chasing history as far as the Hindi language collection is concerned. The movie, also starring John Abraham and Deepika Padukone, has already become the biggest Bollywood grosser domestically, beating "Dangal", and now, it has surpassed mighty "KGF: Chapter 2" to become the second biggest movie in the Hindi language. ## Until the third Wednesday (15 days), "Pathaan" minted 436.75 crores net in the original Hindi version, and has beaten "KGF 2" (435 crores) to become the second biggest Hindi grossrer of all-time. "Pathaan" is now behind SS Rajamouli's "Baahubali The Conclusion" which scored 510 crores net. ## "Pathaan" will get a free run till February 17 when Kartik Aaryan's "Shehzada" and Marvel Studios' "Ant-Man 3" will release.
