There's no arts or science in every aspect of life but mathematics is always there.
Welcome to Number Game with me Himesh, where we discuss nothing but numbers that is box office collection of feature films.
In the first episode of Number Game, we will be discussing the box office collection of S.S. Rajamouli's 'RRR'
S.S Rajamouli is the biggest director of Telegu Cinema and a glance at his filmography says it all but the tides changed for him after the release of Baahubali-1 and Baahubali-2 in the Hindi belts as well.
Today he is the biggest brand of Indian cinema being the biggest release of 2022 the expectations were of course sky-high from RRR
but for some reason there was a little scepticism in the trade about the opening day of RRR, last week was spent by the Bollywood trade discussing the opening day of RRR
I mean the opening day predictions some said it will open at 10 to 12 crores, some said it'll open at 12-14. Some even said 30 crores
Pinkvilla predicted an opening of 14-16 crores for RRR and guess what? RRR surpassed all the expectations at the box office on the opening day as it collected 19.25 crores on Friday.
This is around 20% above the general expectations, of course, the prices were high but the audience was willing to pay those high prices to experience this spectacle on the big-screen
by Friday night the talk was out in the market that SS Rajamouli the creator of Baahubali franchisee has delivered another big-screen spectacle
The film jumped by 25% on Saturday by collecting around 23.75 crores and then came the big sunday.
As expected RRR went on a complete rampage as it became the first film to collect over 30crores in a single day in the Pandemic times, the film collected 31.75 crores on Sunday to pack a solid punch in the opening weekend by
Collecting 74.25 crores, this is the second-highest opening weekend in the Hindi belts after Sooryavanshi but mind you Sooryavanshi was a Diwali release and RRR is a non-holiday release
Sooryavanshi was the first film to release after the pandemic RRR is releasing after a string of releases
Sooryavanshi featured Akshay Kumar, it had a cameo from Ajay Devgn Ranveer Singh and it was a Rohit Shetty film
RRR was just SS Rajamouli's film with two ranked new comers Junior NTR and Ram Charan so this business is indeed spectacular and then comes the crucial Monday test which is considered to be the acid test for feature films and guess what RRR has passed that with flying colours
As per early estimates the movie is looking to collect anywhere between 13-16 crores on Monday which is a nominal drop in the range of 25-35% as compared to the opening day
RRR has collected 480 crores, yes you heard it right, 480 crores at the box office across the globe; of the 480 crores 350 crores have come from India and remaining 130 have come from the overseas belt
And this we are talking about all versions of RRR that is Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam.
So what do we conclude from this? Of course, RRR is roaring at the box office it has recorded the second-biggest opening weekend of all time in India after guess what?
Baahubali-2! but it's just half the job done for the team of RRR as we all know it's a very costly film so it's very important for RRR to continue with its golden run at the box office
The film will break even for all the producers and distributers once it crosses the global collection of 800-850 crores
All in all, things look bright for RRR as it is poised to be a very successful venture for all the stakeholders so that was it in today's episode of the Number Game.
