BABY JOHN had a poor weekend as it picked up only 26 crore nett over its five day weekend joining a long list of non performers on holidays post pandemic. The film got an opening day number due to the holiday but the film went downhill from there. If its a holiday, the film had to record a good number and not so so especially if the film is in the action genre.

The film came down to low levels on the second day itself and that was it for the film. The risk of a midweek release is always that if it the public rejects, then it hardly survives till the real weekend and this has happened here.

BABY JOHN started to lose shows after the first day with the beneficiary being a dubbed film from South called MARCO. This film was released last week and grossed 25 lakhs nett in the whole week but has done around 1.25 crore nett this weekend as shows increased.

MARCO is from Kerala and the only history of dubbed Malayalam films doing well in Hindi are sex/titillation films in the 80's. It remains to be seen how MARCO fares from here on. As far as BABY JOHN goes, it will not be doing much business from here on.

The collections of BABY JOHN till date are as follows.
