We all are driven by numbers in life and
the spice of number lies in the fact
that no one can predict them
Welcome to Number Game with me Himesh
Where we discuss but numbers Box office collections of feature films
We start today's episode by discussing the box office collection of a film
which has taken the entire Indian film trade by surprise
It's a Japanese anime movie called Jujutsu Kaisen
The movie was released on Thursday and collected 1.50 crore.
This was followed by 70 lakhs on Friday 90 lakhs on Saturday and
1.20 crores on Sunday, the opening weekend collection of Jujutsu Kaisen
stands at 4.30 crores,
What's surprising is the fact that the film has not just done well in the metros
but also the tier 2 & tier 3 places where it was screening with limited shows
Initially, even I was surprised by the run of Jujutsu Kaisen in India
But then I discovered that anime has a cult following in the country
The journey started with Dragon Ball Super Broly film
which was followed up by Jujutsu Kaisen
Next up is Dragon Ball Super Super Hero film
which is expected to do even better at the box office
The anime franchise is expected to grow from strength to strength in the times to come and
Jujutsu Kaisen seems to be just the beginning
Apart from Dragon Ball Super Super Hero movie
there's another anime film which is expected to release in India
and that is the One Piece film Red
This week saw the release of 2 films in the Hindi belt
OM, oh no sorry, Rashtra Kavach Om
and Rocketry.
Let's start by decoding the collections of Rocketry first.
The movie took a slow start on Friday collecting 75 lakhs in the Hindi belt but
the trend over the weekend was superlative, it jumped 1.25 crores on Saturday
followed by another jump to 1.75 crores on Sunday with this
the opening weekend collections of Rocketry stand at 3.75 cores
in the Hindi belt.
The eyes are now on Monday as the film needs to record
a Monday equal to or higher than Friday to have some chance at the box office
to put up respectable total in the Hindi belt
Talking of Om, the movie collected 1.30 crores on Friday
Followed by 1.40 crores on Saturday and finally,
another 1.30 crores on Sunday
The opening weekend collection of Om stands at 4 crores
But that's not enough as the word of mouth is not positive
and we expect the film to crash on Monday
After closing week 1 at 51 crores, which was a decent opening week
Jugjug Jeeyo has shown a good trend in its 2nd weekend
the movie collected 2.80 crores on 2nd Friday
followed by 4.75 crores on 2nd Saturday and
finally 6 crores on 2nd Sunday
With this, the 10-day total of Jugjug jeeyo in India stands at 65.35 crores
this is a decent result and the film is headed to being a success that is
an average or above-average grosser at the box office in India
The film is headed for a lifetime total in the range of rupees 80 crores
which is a decent result as most of the multiplex films
have proved to be a big disasters in the pandemic times
the film has proved to be the much-needed mid-range success for Hindi film industry
which has been missing for the last 2-years
As far as worldwide box office is concerned,
the 10-day total of Jugjug Jeeyo stands in the north of 100 crores
it has emerged as the 10th 100 crores grosser for Varun Dhawan and
he has done just 14 theatrical films till date
it's a consistent track record, however,
Jugjug Jeeyo should have done better business by around 15-20%
the worldwide collections of Jugjug Jeeyo are expected to close at around 130 crores mark and
it would have been ideal if the film could have it 150 crores
as that might have taken the film closer to the hit verdict
There was a Hollywood film called Minions which released at the box office this week
but the collections are not up to the mark.
The movie has collected 2.25 to 2.50 crores in its opening weekend
and these are low numbers
So that was it in today's episode of the Number Game
