Box Office India Trade Network

BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION has done Average business in China over the first weekend with collections of $7.5 million plus (INR 50 cr). It is a good total for an indian film but not it was a huge release and the business should have been better on the release.

The film needs to be around the $20 million mark for the Chinese distributors to recover the costs of releasing the film in China and that will not be easy after this opening weekend. It could get there but does look the to be the top end range of what the film could finish with. The opening weekend was the fifth highest for and Indian film after SECRET SUPERSTAR, HINDI MEDIUM, DANGAL and BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN.

The top opening weekend (first three days) collections in China for Indian films are as follows..
1. Secrect Superstar - $27,150,000
2. Hindi Medium - $15,770,000
3. Dangal - $13,710,000
4. Bajrangi Bhaijaan - $8,450,000
5. Baahubali 2: The Conclusion - $7,630,000
6. PK - $5,050,000
7. Dhoom 3 - $1,340,000
--------------------------
BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION went down in China on Monday with collections around 60% less than Friday as it collected $1 million to take its four day total to $8.63 million apprx. The film is basically a failure in China as it needed a $20 million total for the film to cover release costs but that looks impossible after the Monday numbers

Not that it matters much as its the biggest blockbuster in Hindi this century and if we take its business across India in all formats then its probably the second biggest blockbuster in the history of Indian cinema. The very Indian theme has probably been the killer in China.

The first four collections of BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION in China is as follows
Friday - $2,430,000
Saturday - $2,940,000
Sunday - $2,260,000
Monday - $1,000,000 apprx
Total - $8,630,000 apprx
