Animal Film’s Historic Box Office Run The film Animal, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Bobby Deol, has broken hundreds of records worldwide in its initial nine days, achieving an historic box office collection. The film’s first week collection was explosive, but its second week started with a bang, performing better than the first-week starts of many big Bollywood films released this year. Animal is expected to set box office records that neither Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunky nor Prabhas’s Salaar will be able to break.
Animal’s First Week and Day-Wise Collections Animal’s first week saw an India net collection of 338 crore 63 lakh. The film’s worldwide collection for the first week stood at 563 crore 30 lakh. As the second week began, Animal continued its explosive earning. On its eighth day, which was the second Friday, the film recorded an All India net collection of 22 crore 50 lakh. The ninth day (second Saturday) is estimated to achieve an India net collection of approximately 33 crore 50 lakh.
Animal’s Total 9-Day Worldwide Earnings With its strong performance, Animal’s total All India net collection for the initial nine days has reached 394 crore 63 lakh. The India gross collection for the film stands at 470 crore. From the overseas market, Animal has collected 176 crore. Consequently, the film’s total worldwide gross collection for the first nine days is an impressive 646 crore. Looking ahead, the film’s worldwide collection on its tenth day (Sunday) is expected to exceed 50 crore, potentially crossing the 700 crore mark globally within 10 days.
Sam Bahadur’s Box Office Performance Vicky Kaushal’s film Sam Bahadur, released alongside Animal, has also garnered collections. With a budget of approximately 55 crore, the film achieved an India net collection of 38 crore 75 lakh in its first week (seven days). On its eighth day, Sam Bahadur collected an India net of 3 crore 90 lakh. The ninth day’s All India net collection is estimated to be 5 crore 50 lakh. This brings Sam Bahadur’s total India net collection for the initial nine days to 48 crore 15 lakh. Its India gross collection is 57 crore 30 lakh. Globally, Sam Bahadur’s worldwide box office collection for nine days has reached 64 crore 50 lakh.
Dunky’s Overseas Advance Booking Status Shah Rukh Khan’s film Dunky, directed by Rajkumar Hirani, has begun its overseas advance booking. With approximately 13 days remaining until its release, the film has received a good response internationally. Dunky has earned $250,000 from advance bookings in the USA, $19,000 from the UK, $6,000 from Australia, $13,000 from Germany, $3,000 from the Middle East, and $22,000 from other countries. This brings Dunky’s total overseas advance booking collection to $280,000, which is equivalent to 1 crore 59 lakh in Indian currency.
Salaar’s Impressive Overseas Advance Booking Prabhas’s Pan India film Salaar, directed by Prashanth Neel, is set to release on December 22nd. Its overseas advance booking started significantly earlier than Dunky’s, while India advance booking is scheduled to commence on December 15th. Salaar has generated $660,000 from advance bookings in the USA. Additionally, $30,000 has been collected from other countries including Australia, the UK, and Gulf countries. In total, Salaar’s overseas advance booking collection stands at $690,000, which translates to 6 crore 60 lakh in Indian currency. Salaar’s advance booking collection is currently higher than Dunky’s; however, Salaar’s booking commenced quite some time ago, whereas Dunky’s booking began just a day or two prior.
