MUFASA: THE LION KING did well on its third Friday as it collected around 2.15 crore nett which now takes the film almost 108 crore nett. The film should show strong collections on Saturday and Sunday though Monday will be much tougher. The film put up a very good second week of 43 crore nett but will face a big drop in the third week due to the holiday period being over. The film is looking at a lifetime number of 125-130 crore nett.
BABY JOHN fell on its second Friday pretty much as expected. The film collected 50 lakhs nett apprx and now stands at around 32.75 crore nett. The 40 crore nett is tough from here and it looks like a 36-37 crore nett finish for the film. The film will hardly have any shows in week three once the new releases arrive.
--------------------------------------------------------------
BABY JOHN collected a little under 2 crore nett for an overall total of 34 crore nett. The film could not grow much over the weekend due to the rejection of the content. The trend was very bad for for a holdover film and its adding 1-2 crore nett from here and that will be it for the film. Its a huge downer form the last release of 2024 pretty much following the pattern of a disappointing year.

MUFASA: THE LION KING crossed the 100 crore nett mark on New Years Day as it saw good collections on the last day of last year and first day of the New Year. The film has now collected 102.50 crore nett and has been on a steady run. The holiday period is pretty much over and it remains to be seen where it goes from here. There is weekend support to come but Monday could see much lower level collections.
The first week grossed 62 crore nett and now the second week is heading towards 44 crore nett which means a drop of just 30% week on week. The trend is more impressive as generally the film has not done well the world over and compared to the numbers in other countries, India is good.
Its another thing it was expected to do much better in India due to huge success of THE LION KING (2019) which did 157 crore nett in 2019. Obviously if the MUFASA: THE LION KING shows the same trend as week two in week three, then it will actually do better than THE LION KING (2019) but that will be pretty much impossible as the holiday benefit will be gone.
The collections of MUFASA: THE LION KING till date are as follows.
Week One - 61,95,00,000
Friday - 5,50,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 8,50,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 9,75,00,000 apprx
Monday - 4,50,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 5,00,00,000 apprx
Wednesday - 7,00,00,000 apprx
Second Week - 40,50,00,000 apprx (4 Days)
TOTAL - 1,02,45,00,000 apprx

MUFASA: THE LION KING is trending well at the box office with good holds on the second week. The film collected 62 crore nett in the first week and has collected 28 crore nett so far in the second week and its looking to clear 40 crore nett in the second week with the aid of holidays. Basically, it will be 100 crore nett plus in two weeks.
The film has done very well to get here for the 7 crore nett first day opening with this period of vacations for its target audience being very beneficial. The negative is the film in Hindi circuits which have contributed far less than South. Mumbai is still relatively better but the others have not performed.
Mumbai is the best collecting circuit but both Tamil Nadu and Nizam/Andhra are better than Delhi/UP. Overall, the film has scored best in Tamil Nadu and Nizam/Andhra. The film stands at 90 crore nett till date.

MUFASA: THE LION KING had a lackluster start on Friday but picked up well from Saturday and has seen strong collections on the weekdays. The film held up very well on Monday with a drop of just 25% and then there was solid growth on Tuesday. On Wednesday, it showed more growth than PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE.
The film is still below expectations due to the huge success of THE LION KING (2019) but it has recovered well and there is now hope for at least a respectable lifetime number which looked tough after the first day. The reports of the film are so so but it is doing the business over the weekdays. This could be down to the vacation period which gives the bigger centers a solid boost and that is primarily where the target audience of this film is.
The numbers remain best in South with Nizam/Andhra and Tamil Nadu leading the way. The collections are better now in Mumbai and NCR then they were on opening day but still should be doing better. There will be a drop post Christmas but it should do well over the weekend. MUFASA: THE LION KING has a shot to get over 100 crore nett but it depends on the level of collections over the second weekend.
The collections of MUFASA: THE LION KING till date are as follows.
Friday - 7,00,00,000
Saturday - 11,50,00,000
Sunday - 14,25,00,000
Monday - 5,25,00,000
Tuesday - 6,75,00,000
Wednesday - 11,00,00,000
TOTAL - 55,75,00,000 apprx
Mufasa: The Lion King collects 32.50 cr in 3 days; Vanvaas 2.90 cr

MUFASA: THE LION KING put up a decent first weekend with collections of 32.50 crore nett in its first weekend. The film showed good growth on Saturday and Sunday. The growth on Sunday was actually very good but it could be more to do with holiday period starting this week as all films showed higher than normal jumps on Sunday.
The film has done well in Nizam/Andhra and Tamil Nadu with Mysore also pretty decent. But business is lackluster in Mumbai and Delhi NCR which are the other key markets for Hollywood. The growth was there on Saturday and Sunday but the circuit figure are much lower than they should be. The plus for the film will be the holiday period over the next ten days or so which can enable the film to continue to put up the numbers but even then it wont match the expectations from the sequel of THE LION KING, which remains the sixth highest grosser from Hollywood in India.
Despite the trend the collections are just not there for the film. The three day collections of MUFASA: THE LION KING are as follows.
Friday - 7,50,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 10,75,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 14,25,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 32,50,00,000 apprx
The Hindi release VANVAAS collected 3 crore nett over the weekend and also managed very good growth on Sunday but as mentioned above its more to with the Sunday generally having a good trend. This film is a limited release and at lower collections and because of these reasons, it managed a bigger jump than the rest of the films on on Sunday.
The collections of VANVAAS are as follows.
Friday - 65,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 90,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 1,35,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 2,90,00,000 apprx
Mufasa: The Lion King collects 8 cr on Day 1; Vanvaas 65 lakhs

MUFASA: THE LION KING opened with fair collections on the first day with around 7.75-8 crore nett but it was expected to do much better as THE LION KING, which released in 2019, had opened in double digits. Hence, here a double digit initial was expected. The audience is down for Hollywood films in India since 2019 which was pre pandemic but the rise of ticket prices should have compensated for the lesser audience.
The film has a huge ratio of business coming from the South as a big Telugu star dubbed the film in Telugu which has pushed the collections in Nizam/Andhra and around 25% of the all India business is from this circuit alone. The growth here will be limited which will affect the all India growth on Saturday. The film saw poor results in Mumbai and Delhi/UP though they should jump on Saturday but they should be collecting much more. Not only Nizam/Andhra but the other South markets have performed better than the Hindi areas.
There was a Hindi release also with VANVAAS which collected around 60-65 lakhs nett which is a low number but it was also a limited release. The film looks on the lines of the 1983 BLOCKBUSTER film AVATAR but that sort of family cinema for the audiences outside metros is tough today as how do you get that audience out.
The film is not urban and with an actor like Nana Patekar, the emotions will also work for that audience but getting tier 2 and tier 3 audience to the cinemas today without a larger than life film is a near impossible task. Hence, a film like this which is not urban and for the smaller centres becomes for satellite where it should be consumed. The word SHOULD is used as today as when film hits OTT, then piracy does the rounds leaving scraps for satellite.
