With the release of Vikram Samrat Prithviraj and Major
The Indian box office is definitely flying
The holdover releases like Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and Top gun also continues to rake in numbers
Welcome to NUMBER GAME With me Himesh
Where we discuss nothing but numbers
Box office collections of feature films
We begin today's episode by discussing the box office collections of
Kamal Hassan's Vikram
It also features Vijay Sethupati and Fahad Fassil in key roles
And marks the return of Kamal Hassan to the big screen
After a long time.
With the film, Kamal Hassan has broken many records at the box office already
The movie collected 34 crores on the first day
31 crores on the second day and finally, another 35 crores on the third day
To clock an all India opening weekend of 100 crores
Note: These are gross collections and not net because the South indian industry
prefers to report collections in gross
Vikram has already emerged as Kamal Hassan's biggest grosser to date
and guess what?
the trade is predicting it to become the highest-grossing film of Tamil cinema to date
And now, we move on to the Hindi release that is a Bollywood release
Samrat Prithviraj fronted by Akshay Kumar
The movie collected 10.70 crores on friday
Followed by 12.6 crores on Saturday
And finally 16-16.25 crores on Sunday
With this the opening weekend collection of Samrat Prithviraj stands
In the range of 40 crores
These are low figures and there is a long journey ahead for the film
to emerge a successful venture
It's the trend from Monday that would decide where the film is headed
Note; Bollywood prefers to report collections in net and
South Indian industry prefers to report collections in gross
So the collections of Vikram were gross figures
whereas the collections of Prithviraj are net
If we convert this into gross total
Samrat Prithviraj has collected around 45-46 crores in India
And, now we move on to the Telegu film industry as it saw the
Release of Adivi Sesh starrer 'Major'
The movie recorded a consistent trend at the box office in the home market
It collected 8 crores each on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to
To take the 3-day total in the range of 25-26 crores
Note; Of the 26 crores around five to five and a half crores gross
Has come from the Hindi market
This is the career-best opening for actor Adivi Sesh
In fact, most of the market in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana
have already reached the break-even mark in the opening weekend itself
And it's the journey from Monday that would determine
how big a success it turns out to be in the local markets
as far as the Hindi version is concerned
There's still a long way to go but yet
These are the respectable figures for someone making a debut
As the opening weekend collections of Major is in the same range
or maybe marginally lower than Ayushmann Khurrana's 'Anek'
And now we move on to the holdover releases
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and Top Gun
The Kartik Aryan starrer has continued with its steady trend at the box office
in its third weekend, it collected 2.75 crores on Friday
followed by 4.50 crores on Saturday and finally,
5.70 crores on Sunday
With this the movie has zoomed in to the 150 crores club
and the trend ensures that the lifetime collections of Bhool Bhulaiyaa2
will be around 175 crores
It's a certified superhit
Tom Cruise fronted action-thriller Top Gun has done
Decent business in its second weekend
The movie collected 80 lakhs on Friday
followed by 1.50 crores on saturday and finally
1.70 crores on Sunday
The movie is fast heading to enter the 25 crores club at the box office in India
Yes, on the face value these might seem to be low numbers
but mind you this isn't a mission impossible franchise
and it doesn't even belong to the Marvel cinematic universe
So in the times when Hindi films are struggling to do 30 crores at the box office
A Hollywood film doing 25 crores is a decent result
So it was a blast at the box office in India this weekend
as the 5 releases have clocked a total gross of 190 crores
And it has brought cheers on the smiles of exhibitors across the country
Which of these five have you watched at the box office?
