ANIMAL maintained strong collections on the last day of its second week with 8.50 crore nett taking its second week total to a phenomenal 129.50 crore nett. This total could have been higher but the Sunday did not perform as it could have.

The second week numbers of the film are the third highest ever beating the likes of JAWAN and DANGAL and if that Sunday had added well, it could have beaten GADAR 2. The two week total of the film is 418.50 crore nett and a good hold is crucial for a 500 crore nett total. This mark would be locked if the competition in week four was not so huge.

There have many directors from the South coming making a mark in the Hindi film industry but generally the films had that South feel or you can say were different from the way the films made by the Bombay makers looked. No doubt some of these did very well especially in the 60's but it was more to do with the huge male stars in them

The last import from the South to have an impact was Ram Gopal Verma. However, his films were restricted heavily to Mumbai circuit. You cant say they had a South feel but mainly did business in Mumbai circuit with the underworld et al. Here you have a director from the South who is making more North Indian films than the makers from the Hindi film industry and this is with both ANIMAL and KABIR SINGH.

The box office numbers of ANIMAL till date in Hindi are as follows.

ANIMAL had the the third highest second week of all time behind BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION and GADAR 2 but the way it had held up on the second Friday, it looked like it may set a new second week record. However, some fatigue probably set in through the week as eventually its an Adult so does mean a it misses out on a certain audience.

The film became the sixth film to hit a century in week two and four of them now are post pandemic while before the pandemic there were only two films above the 100 crore nett mark in week two and they were BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION and DANGAL.

The results post the pandemic mean that now the 150 crore nett second week is on whereas before the pandemic the 100 crore nett mark was a huge target. Obviously you need the film but better results in Mumbai circuit should see the 150 crore nett mark breached by the right film.

The difference between BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION and the others is the huge Mumbai performance. In week two, BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION had a huge 51 crore nett plus in Mumbai circuit while GADAR 2 had around 37 crore nett. ANIMAL will also be similar to GADAR 2.

The top ten second weeks of all time are as follows

1. Baahubali 2: The Conclusion - 1,42,52,00,000

2. Gadar 2 - 1,33,56,00,000

4. Jawan - 1,18,03,00,000

5. Dangal - 1,11,56,00,000

6. The Kashmir Files - 1,07,74,00,000

7. PK - 96,27,00,000 

8. Sanju - 90,52,00,000

9. Pathaan - 89,44,00,000

10. Bajrangi Bhaijaan - 86,28,00,000

ANIMAL maintained well on Tuesday as it collected 11.25 crore nett and the trend on the weekdays looks pretty much the same as last week. The film has hit the 400 crore nett mark and its second week stands at 111 crore nett with two more days of the week left.

This second week looks to be heading for roughly the 130 crore nett mark and that will see the film at around 420 crore nett. Then it remains to be seen where the third Friday lands for the 500 crore nett and it will be a plus will be if this time, Sunday behaves better.

The film could possibly be the highest total in a couple of circuits especially Nizam/Andhra and that is only Hindi version and not including Telugu. BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION was the first 500 crore nett film and now, despite films going ahead of it, the Mumbai circuit numbers still remains a dream as that film did 180 crore nett and for everyone else, 150 crore nett is proving to be tough.

ANIMAL is probably targeting the numbers of TANHAJI: THE UNSUNG WARRIOR which remains the highest original Hindi film in Mumbai circuit.

The box office numbers of ANIMAL till date in Hindi are as follows.

------------------------------------

ANIMAL collected 9.75 crore nett on Wednesday in Hindi which is another steady day and the film still remains near double digits despite being on day thirteen. The total of the film now stands at 410 crore nett apprx

This film has now comfortably crossed the 100 crore nett mark in Mumbai and Delhi/UP will do the same in the next few days. For these two circuits, 100 crore nett is a given for a big film but this film could see more two more circuits hitting the half century which has never happened before. Four circuits above 50 crore nett will be a first for a film in Hindi.

The second week looks to be heading for a 130 crore nett which would be the third highest second week ever.

The box office numbers of ANIMAL till date in Hindi are as follows.

------------------------------------

ANIMAL has collected a 664 crore worldwide in Hindi and its probably heading towards the 800 crore plus mark making it the third higher worldwide grosser in Hindi after JAWAN and PATHAAN. The overseas numbers see record numbers in Australia and over indexing in USA/Canada with Canada being out of this world.

The over indexing in US/Canada is probably because Gulf is less. The film has done very well in Gulf but its not like the other main markets in Overseas and this is why US/Canada is around more than 50% of the overseas circuit.

The film has seen a very good contribution in Telugu overseas as going over $1 million is pretty crazy. The Andhra crowd watching the film in overseas is much more than the numbers suggest as most of this audience is watching the original Hindi film which is propelling Hindi numbers in US and Australia. The total in all formats after 12 days is 727 crore.

The worldwide numbers of ANIMAL in Hindi after 12 days are as follows.

India - 485 Crore (400.25 nett)

Overseas - 179 crore ($21.50 million)

The worldwide numbers of ANIMAL in all formats is as follows

India - 538 Crore (445 nett)

Overseas - 189 crore ($22.75 million)

ANIMAL had a huge second weekend of 87 crore nett which is the second highest of all time after GADAR 2. The film only fell a little short of GADAR 2 number and that was mainly because the Sunday did not see a lot of growth. This could be due to some fatigue as the film is not family friendly and it has accumulated huge numbers till date.

The ten day figures of the film now stand at a huge 376 crore nett making it fifth highest grossing Hindi film after JAWAN, GADAR 2, PATHAAN, BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION and KGF - CHAPTER 2. It will cruise past the numbers of KGF - CHAPTER 2 but the other films will become more harder to reach after the second Sunday.

The Monday becomes important for the 500 crore nett number because if the film shows the normal trend from Friday, then it will be back to normal and the records will continue but if there is further fatigue then the drops could come. Nevertheless, the job has been done in a huge way with insane business till date. In Gujarat, it is likely to beat the numbers of PATHAAN by the end of the week and in CI, it will be both PATHAAN and JAWAN and other Hindi circuits will follow.

The lesser performance has come in East India but even there its only Bihar which is less than GADAR 2 with West Bengal being much better. West Bengal, however, is not comparable to PATHAAN or JAWAN due to the Shah Rukh Khan factor.

The box office numbers of ANIMAL till date in Hindi are as follows.

Friday - 52,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 56,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 61,00,00,000 apprx

Monday - 38,00,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 32,50,00,000 appprx

Wednesday - 26,50,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 22,50,00,000 apprx

Friday - 22,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 31,50,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 33,50,00,000 apprx

---------------------------------------

ANIMAL had a super strong second Monday which was the third highest in history after BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION and GADAR 2. The film did not reach the number expected on Sunday but on Monday, it is back on normal trajectory. The collections on Monday were a huge 13 crore nett.

This takes the film to 389 crore nett in Hindi in eleven days and should be flirting around the 400 crore nett mark today (Tuesday). The second week has so far collected 100 crore nett and it should add another 30 crore nett apprx for a second week of 130 crore nett apprx.

Then it becomes about how close it can get the 500 crore nett mark before the Christmas films DUNKI and SALAAR come. It will not be just DUNKI and SALAAR fighting for shows as many cinemas will retain ANIMAL as well especially if the third week trend is strong. Its a good period over Christmas and New Year at multiplexes and if ANIMAL has shows, it will collect well over the period as its an established film.

The record breaking numbers for ANIMAL continue in East Punjab, Delhi NCR, Nizam/Andhra and Mysore. Its weird as on content these places don't really go hand in hand but Ranbir Kapoor is best in North and in the two southern markets, it will be the goodwill of the director.

The box office numbers of ANIMAL till date in Hindi are as follows.

Friday - 52,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 56,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 61,00,00,000 apprx

Monday - 38,00,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 32,50,00,000 appprx

Wednesday - 26,50,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 22,50,00,000 apprx

Friday - 22,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 31,50,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 33,50,00,000 apprx

Monday - 13,00,00,000 apprx

---------------------------------------

ANIMAL has now taken its total to 73 crore nett making it the highest grossing non South Indian film in Nizam/Andhra and there is still some gas left in the tank. The 100 crore nett mark will probably be too far but its quite possible the film will get to around 90 crore nett which is phenomenal. Till date, there maybe 20 odd films which have reached this mark in Nizam/Andhra.

This includes all Telugu films which generally rule in the state and KGF - CHAPTER 2 which is the only non Telugu industry film film to get over 100 crore nett. KGF - CHAPTER 2 did around 120 crore nett in Nizam/Andhra; hence, ANIMAL getting 90 crore nett is an insane figure. If we go by 2023, then WALTAIR VEERAYYA and ADIPURUSH ae the only films to cross 100 crore in the circuit and ANIMAL will stand third before the release of SALAAR.

The previous best non South films are AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER at 70 crore nett and JAWAN at 68 crore nett. The numbers have only come over the last year as before that the best non South totals in the circuit were in the 30-35 crore nett range with likes of AVENGERS: ENDGAME and BRAHMASTRA. PATHAAN also managed a 50 crore nett number earlier this year. The collections of ANIMAL in Nizam Andhra are as follows.

Hindi - 27,61,00,000

Telugu - 33,20,00,000

Hindi - 1,63,00,000

Telugu - 1,20,00,000

Hindi - 2,41,00,000

Telugu - 1,85,00,000

Hindi - 2,93,00,000

Telugu - 2,00,00,000

Hindi -  1,12,00,000

Telugu - 75,00,000

Hindi - 34,07,00,000

Telugu - 39,00,00,000

ANIMAL continued its dream run on the last day of the week as it remained strong and above 20 crore nett with collections of 22.50 crore nett. The film has seen similar drops over the weekdays of around 15% which is fantastic considering the high level of the collections of the film.

This film has collected 289 crore nett in its first week and its a normal Fri - Thu week without any holidays. Yet, it is the highest collections ever without any holiday support in the first week. The film has an 'A' certification and it has probably not hindered the film too much as the female audience is also coming out in numbers.

The collections are fantastic in mass centres with places like CP Berar, CI and Gujarat being better than the likes of JAWAN and PATHAAN. The collections in Mumbai circuit will be around the 80 crore nett mark and Delhi UP will be about 60 crore nett. East Punjab is extraordinary beating except GADAR 2 but that film had a holiday midweek and had a phenomenal collection on that day.

The numbers could have been better in West Bengal and Assam but the former has still managed 11 crore nett plus which is excellent but comparatively to other circuits, it is a bit less. The key now is the second Friday to keep it in line for that 500 crore nett. As ticket rates go back up, it has a shot a historic second Friday which is highest of all time.

The first week numbers of ANIMAL in Hindi are as follows.

Friday - 52,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 56,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 61,00,00,000 apprx

Monday - 38,00,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 32,50,00,000 appprx

Wednesday - 26,50,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 22,50,00,000 apprx

The dubbed version had a drop on the last day of the week as the bulk of the collections are coming from Telugu version in Nizam/Andhra and there was a local release there which probably hit the collections. The business in its dubbed versions was 37 crore nett for the week and all formats total is 326 crore nett.

-------------------------------------------

ANIMAL collected a miracle 61 crore nett in Nizam/Andhra with the Telugu version having record collections of 33 crore nett. The Hindi version itself was outstanding with almost 28 crore nett and this is also the highest first week in Nizam/Andhra for a Hindi film beating JAWAN and PATHAAN which were around the 25 crore nett mark.

The film is already the highest ever in Telugu in the circuit comfortably beating the numbers of JAWAN and there is more to come. It will also be the record holder in Hindi as it is sure to cross the 40 crore nett mark. It remains the see if the film can reach the 100 crore nett mark but a lot will depend on how the Telugu version collects post the first week. The Hindi version is likely to get to 50 crore nett or at least very close.

The collections of ANIMAL in Nizam Andhra are as follows.

Hindi - 6,09,00,000

Telugu - 8,55,00,000

Hindi - 4,80,00,000

Telugu - 6,81,00,000

Hindi - 5,52,00,000

Telugu - 7,08,00,000

Hindi -  3,14,00,000

Telugu - 3,52,00,000

Hindi - 3,29,00,000

Telugu - 3,10,00,000

Hindi - 2,61,00,000

Telugu - 2,50,00,000

Hindi -  2,13,00,000

Telugu - 1,64,00,000

Hindi - 27,61,00,000

Telugu - 33,20,00,000

-------------------------------------------

ANIMAL had the third highest first week of all time and became the eleventh film to cross 200 crore nett in one week. It was the fifth film to cross 250 crore nett and JAWAN and PATHAAN remain the only two films to cross the 300 crore nett mark in seven days.

The comparison for ANIMAL will be GADAR 2 and it will have to follow that films route to 500 crore nett. ANIMAL is around 7 crore nett ahead  and has to at least keep this lead or go further ahead at the end of week two. GADAR 2 added 37 crore nett after its third week and that will be the crunch for ANIMAL as with the huge competition on Christmas, it is unlikely to do that unless the Christmas films don't work at all.

The film is sure to beat the numbers of JAWAN and PATHAAN post the first week but those films had extended first weekends and therefore, had healthy leads over the other big films in the first week. The 250 crore nett mark in week one now has to be there for a big film which opens well and these numbers will only go higher with the correct films as audiences are neglecting the smaller films and waiting for the bigger ones at this point of time.

The eleven films to have crossed 200 crore nett in week one are as follows.

1. Pathaan - 3,17,06,00,000

2. Jawan - 3,15,79,00,00

4. Gadar 2 - 2,81,44,00,000

5. KGF - Chapter 2 - 2,50,51,00,000

6. Baahubali 2: The Conclusion - 2,46,47,00,000

7. Sultan - 2,08,99,00,000

8 Tiger Zinda Hai - 2,06,04,00,000

9 War - 2,03,39,00,000

10. Tiger - 2,02,41,00,000

11 Sanju - 2,00,16,00,000

-------------------------------------------

ANIMAL created history on the second Friday as it collected an insane 22 crore nett which is the highest second Friday of all time and the first time the second Friday has gone over 22 crore nett. The film is a sensation and another ALL TIME BLOCKBUSTER for the film industry. 2023 has seen a line of them though the pandemic has probably changed a few things and that's why there have been four hits of the magnitude in one year.

The holds are superb across the board and with all centres across the country barring TNK just doing phenomenal numbers. The second weekend is easily going to be the highest ever and the second week may well emerge the highest ever.

There are not many words to describe this second Friday business and the film will is sure to hit 500 crore nett. If there were was a clear run for 4-5 weeks, this film would cross the business of JAWAN in Hindi.

The first week numbers of ANIMAL in Hindi are as follows.

Friday - 52,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 56,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 61,00,00,000 apprx

Monday - 38,00,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 32,50,00,000 appprx

Wednesday - 26,50,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 22,50,00,000 apprx

Friday - 22,00,00,000 apprx

-------------------------------------------

ANIMAL smashed all records on its second Friday as it collected 22 crore nett and comfortably beat the likes of BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION and GADAR 2 both of which were just a little short of 20 crore nett.

The length coupled with the huge acceptance of the film is coming into play. The length of the film and a clash meant it could not get the same peak time screening as some of the other big films. The length of the film was looked as a negative but now that the film has found huge acceptance, it will be boon post the first week.

The records will continue to fall in week two and week three as the film puts up record numbers. The film has potential of a 100 crore nett second weekend which has never happened before and also a 150 crore nett week two which also has never happened. Just before the pandemic, a 100 crore nett second week was a huge deal and now we are talking about 100 crore second weekends.

Below are the top twenty second Fridays of all time. 

2. Baahubali 2: The Conclusion - 19,81,00,000

3. Gadar 2 ,19,62,00,000

4. The Kashmir Files - 18,86,00,000 

5. Dangal - 17,84,00,000 

6. Jawan - 16,21,00,000

7. PK - 14,52,00,000 

8. RRR (Hindi) - 13,35,00,000 

9. Pathaan - 12,73,00,000 

10. Bajrangi Bhaijaan - 12,56,00,000

16. The Kerala Story - 11,13,00,000

17. 3 Idiots - 10,54,00,000 (Holiday)

18. Tanhaji - The Unsung Warrior - 9,71,00,000

19. Padmaavat - 9,47,00,000 

20. Dhoom 3 - 9,42,00,000

-------------------------------------------

ANIMAL continues to create history on its second Saturday as it becomes the film to collect over 30 crore nett on the second Saturday. It had already become the first film to cross 20 crore nett on the second Friday and now it remains to be seen if it goes to 40 crore nett plus on the second Sunday.

The previous best second Saturday was GADAR 2 at a little under 30 crore nett. Going by the trend of that film, it should cross 40 crore nett as its trending around 5% better on the second weekend. GADAR 2, however, had the single screen factor on Sunday where its levels were higher compared to ANIMAL and they really came to the fore on Sunday.

The film remains on course for the 500 crore nett mark and should be there or very close to that mark by the time the Christmas releases come. The total collections so far in Hindi are 342.50 crore nett and within two weeks it will probably have only the four 500 crore nett films ahead of it.

The box office numbers of ANIMAL till date in Hindi are as follows.

Friday - 52,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 56,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 61,00,00,000 apprx
