The Hollywood releases continue to dominate the box office as F1: THE MOVIE is a SUPER HIT film while JURASSIC WORLD: REBIRTH has emerged a HIT film and SUPERMAN has done well over the first two days. SUPERMAN picked up 7.25 crore nett on day one and its second day business will cross the 10 crore nett mark. The Sunday growth will be muted but a 28-29 crore nett weekend means good business.

F1: THE MOVIE is outstanding as it collected 34.75 crore nett in week one followed by 25 crore nett in week two. It has collected a further 4.50 crore nett in two days of its third week which gives the film a total of 64.25 crore nett. The third week drop is because it has lost the IMAX screens to SUPERMAN but still the film looks to be going towards an 80 crore nett plus finish which is a superb number for a film of this genre.

JURASSIC WORLD: REBIRTH collected 56.50 crore nett in its first week and then added around 3.15 crore nett on its second Friday. It has seen phenomenal growth on its second Saturday as collections are set to be around the 7 crore nett mark which means a 66 crore nett total after 9 days. The film is a HIT and has a shot at 100 crore nett for its lifetime business.

Hollywood is dominating the box office as the two biggest titles playing are both Hollywood releases which is rarity apart from maybe the pandemic time or when for some reason Hindi and regional films were not in play. JURASSIC WORLD: REBIRTH has opened to 9.25 crore nett which is the best opening day for the franchise if we don't add the paid previews to the first day.

The last film in 2022 had opened to 8.25 crore nett though it had paid previews worth 3.50 crore nett. The weekend total of that film was 36 crore nett including paid previews and JURASSIC WORLD: REBIRTH has a chance to beat that. The first film of the franchise opened to record breaking collections in 1994 but after that, its never been the same. However, all films from the franchise have done well.

F1: THE MOVIE is fantastic as it collected 3.25 crore nett on its second Friday taking its total to almost 38 crore nett. The film is super strong in the national chains (PVR Inox, Cinepolis) as 90% of the all India business on day eight comes from these chains driven by IMAX screens. The way this film is going it will comfortably score a second week of 20 crore nett but as SUPERMAN releases next week, it will lose the IMAX screens which will hit collections hard. But some IMAX screens should return a week later for the film to add more good totals. The film is a bona fide HIT and may well finish around 70-75 crore nett.

The collections of F1: THE MOVIE till date are as follows.

Paid Previews - 25,00,000 apprx

Friday - 5,25,00,000 apprx

F1: THE MOVIE did good business over the first weekend with collections of 20.75 crore nett as all metros scored. The film even managed to get similar growth as the Hindi films on Sunday which is rare for Hollywood film and especially for a film which has such a high ratio of business coming from the metros. The weekend has done the job for this film and its a success at the very least.

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

F1: THE MOVIE has seen a very good hold on Monday as it dropped just 40% and collected around 3.25 crore nett. The fact that the film managed some decent growth was a good sign for the film. The film has so far has a total of 24 crore nett and its a HIT trend but it will have still have a task to navigate through the next couple of weeks with big Hollywood releases like JURRASIC WORLD REBIRTH and SUPERMAN. The film is doing excellent business in IMAX properties.

SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR continued to dominate the box office thanks to its strong numbers in the big centres as it collected around 12 crore nett its second Saturday. The growth was around 90% which was expected. Considering the growth last week, it would have been no surprise if the film had jumped even more.

This now takes the collections of the film to around 106 crore nett and it remains to be seen how Sunday fares. Last week Sunday saw huge growth of over 30% but that will probably be tough to repeat this week. The film continues to have the best numbers in the NCR region leading to Delhi/UP being the best circuits even though collections in UP are just average. This average performance is also thanks to the bigger centres like Lucknow and Dehradun.

MAA showed a decent jump of 25% as it collected around 6 crore nett taking its two day number to 10.75 crore nett. The film was going to find it hard to put up huge growth due to the genre and some mass pockets putting up good numbers on day one. As expected, these places have not jumped on the second day. The growth mainly come from the bigger multiplexes which were up in the 30-35% range. The film is doing fair business and is dependent on the weekday holds.

F1: THE MOVIE is doing good business as it collects around 7 crore nett on its second day which takes the film to 12.25 crore nett. The Sunday growth will be limited like it is for most Hollywood releases and here it could be even be flat as a huge ratio of business is coming from the bigger multiplexes. However, the film is coming out with a weekend of somewhere around 20 crore nett which is a very good result for a sports drama based around Formula 1.

MAA has collected well on its first day with around 4.75 crore nett as some mass pockets recorded good collections due to the horror genre. The film had to contend with a strong holdover in SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR and the Hollywood film F1: THE MOVIE which made collections tougher in the bigger centres and bigger multiplexes as those films were first choice. Yet, it has come out with a good first day number.

The competition and horror factor has led MAA to higher ratio of collections from mass centres and these places like Odisha and CP Berar will find it tough to go higher on Saturday but they should go higher on Sunday. West Bengal is also very good at 35 lakhs plus collecting almost as much as East Punjab. The opening is easily the best for Kajol as a solo lead but the tougher part will be getting good growth on Saturday. The film also has higher numbers than SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR (Day 8) and F1: THE MOVIE in mass centres due to genre.

The Hollywood film F1: THE MOVIE opened well collecting around 5.25 crore nett as business was very good in the metros. This is a very good number for a sports drama. There is SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR dominating screenings at PVR Inox and this has probably come in the way of the film as it could have done a little more if SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR was not there. The film is bound to show growth on Saturday as its doing well in cinemas which have their best day on Saturday. The support is limited outside the metros but that is expected due to the genre of film.
