Box Office: Marvel's Eternals Packs A Solid Punch Amid Sooryavanshi & Annaatthe Mehum At The Indian Box Office

Mumbai, November 6 - Marvel has once again been proved why it is one of the most trustable international brands in India. The latest superhero offering from the studio in its Phase four, "Eternals", which was released on November 5 on the occasion of Diwali, packs a solid punch at the Indian box office with Rs. 8.75 crores gross on the first day, despite the two-way clash with Bollywood's "Sooryavanshi" and Tamil biggie "Annaatthe". ## "Eternals", which is directed by Oscar-winner Chloé Zhao, had a promising advance booking with Rs. 2.48 crores for day 1. The superhero film, however, exceeded the expectations and scored huge at the box office. As compared to the recent Hollywood pic, Sony's "Venom: Let There Be Carnage", "Eternals" witnessed an astonishing growth of 150%. "Venom 2" had earned Rs. 2.95 crore net on day 1. ## Moreover, "Eternals" along with domestic blockbusters - Sooryavanshi and Annaatthe - gave a much-needed boost to the Indian exhibition sector, especially in the Hindi market. Rohit Shetty's "Sooryavanshi", which was held back for more than 18 months, was the top performer on the first day of its release as it created havoc at the box office. With an estimated total of Rs. 30 crores, it proved to be the biggest opening for Bollywood since the beginning of the pandemic. ## Rajinikanth's "Annaatthe", on the other hand, was released a day earlier and grossed Rs. 34.70 crores on its first day. On its second day, the action entertainer grossed approx. Rs. 22 crores, this takes it total sum close to Rs. 57 crores in the first two days. ## The first two days of Diwali (Nov. 4-5), brought over Rs. 100 crores at the Indian box office, with Annaatthe and Sooryavanshi being the top performers. Vishal and Arya's Tamil film "Enemy", which released day and date with Annaatthe, fairly did well on the first two days and grossed approx Rs. 9 crores. Telugu film, "Manchi Rojulochaie" grossed Rs. 1.50 crore on the first day. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Marvel Studios' 'Eternals' Poised To Go Big At The Domestic Opening Weekend After Strong Thursday Previews

Los Angeles, November 6 - Marvel Studios' next chapter in the MCU - "Eternals" has been poised nicely to go big at the domestic box office. The Chloe Zhao-directed opened to the third-best Thursday previews of $9.5 million since the beginning of the pandemic.## "Eternals" fell short of "Black Widow" ($13.2 million) and "Venom: Let There Be Carnage" ($11.6 million) but it topped "Shang-Chi's" $8.8 million Thursday previews haul. Despite being rated the lowest Marvel film on Rotten Tomatoes, "Eternals" is projected gross $75 million in the 3-day opening weekend. ## Internationally, "Eternals" earned an estimated $19.8 million in its first two days from 39 markets. In India, the Marvel pic opened with domestic blockbuster "Sooryavanshi" and still managed to grab the audiences' attention. Despite the tough competition, the superhero film is estimated to gross over $1 million on Friday (Nov. 5). ## Among the top international markets, "Eternals" grossed $4.1 million in South Korea, followed by France ($2.6), Mexico ($1.3M), Italy ($1.2M), Australia, and Germany ($1.1M each), while Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Brazil also produced $1 million each. On November 5, Eternals opened to a few other markets, for which, the box office data will be out on Saturday. ## "Eternals" represents an important step forward in Marvel's big-screen efforts. The studio is looking to introduce a new lineup of heroes after saying goodbye to fan favorites such as Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man and Chris Evans' Captain America in "Avengers: Endgame", along with Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow. ## The film, which centers on a powerful extraterrestrial race of humanoids, is being hailed as a major milestone for inclusion — its legion of costumed heroes includes Marvel's first openly gay character and its first deaf protagonist. It boasts an ensemble cast that includes Gemma Chan, Kumail Nanjiani, Salma Hayek, Angelina Jolie, Brian Tyree Henry, Lauren Ridloff, Barry Keoghan, Richard Madden, and Kit Harington. ## Stay tuned...
