Box Office: Mahesh Babu's 'Guntur Kaaram' Leads Among Sankranthi Releases After First Week; Hanuman To Overtake Soon

Hyderabad, January 19 - Superstar Mahesh Babu's action drama Guntur Kaaram is leading among the Sankranthi 2024 releases after the first week. The Trivikram Srinivas' directorial has done well during the festive season, despite the mixed word of mouth. ## Released on January 12, the Haarika & Hassine Creations' produced venture has managed to score approximately 157 crores at the worldwide box office in the first 7 days. In India, the movie has minted around 127 crores gross while the overseas collection is approximately 30 crores. ## Guntur Kaaram needs to hold decently in the coming days to emerge as a successful venture which is now looking very much possible. After the second day, on which the collection dropped by around 70%, the break-even target was looking difficult but the festive season helped the movie to find stability and now, it is in a much better position at the box office. ## Director Prashant Varma's superhero movie Hanuman is giving tough competition to Guntur Kaaram and it will soon overtake the latter at the worldwide box office. The movie has been a revolution since its debut on January 12, and despite getting far fewer screens, the movie is not far behind Babu's film at the worldwide box office.## In the first 7 days, Hanuman grossed approximately 142.50 crores at the worldwide box office, including approximately 104 crores at the domestic box office. Hanuman has already taken the lead over Guntur Kaaram at the overseas box office with approximately 38.50 crores gross after the first week. The movie is headed for finishing well over 200 crores globally, emerging as one of the biggest success stories in Telugu cinema. ## Nagarjuna Akkineni's action drama Naa Saami Ranga, which was released on January 14, has done well so far to emerge as a box office hit. The movie was released amid decent expectations and it has lived up its whatever hype it had to score around 27 crores gross at the worldwide box office in the first 5 days. ## Saindhav, starring Venkatesh Daggubati, has been underwhelming at the box office so far and is unlikely to reach its break-even target. In the first 6 days, the movie grossed approximately 18 crores at the worldwide box office, including around 16.25 crores domestically. The tight competition and mixed word-of-mouth come as a roadblock for it. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: 'Hanuman' On Course To Emerge A Big Blockbuster Worldwide

Hyderabad, January 15 - Director Prashanth Varma's superhero movie Hanuman is on course to become a huge blockbuster at the domestic as well as the worldwide box office. It was one of the films released this Sankranthi festival with lower stakes but has now started coming on top. ## Starring Teja Sajja in the lead role, Hanuman has completed its first weekend, grossing over 72 crores at the worldwide box office. In India, the movie has minted 47+ crores gross (including 5 crores previews) while the overseas collection is approximately 25 crores. ## The Hindi dubbed version of the film is a big surprise at the box office.

The movie took an opening of approximately 12.20 crores net, including 4.15 crores paid premieres, which is very good considering the release size. ## On its second day, Hanuman is showing a jump of over 50% for an estimated 12+ crores net (14+ crores gross) in Telugu and Hindi. The collection could go higher depending on the performance of the single screens. The Telugu version collected around 8.50 crores net while the Hindi version minted approximately 3.50 crores, as per estimates. ## The Hindi version of the film could be a game-changer going ahead as word of mouth is super positive which is already showing its effect after the first two days. The total collection of the movie is approximately 24.70 crores net (29 crores gross) after the first two day+previews which is a very good collection. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: 'Hanuman' Paid Previews Score Sensational Bookings

Mumbai, January 11 - Director Prasanth Varma's superhero film Hanuman, the first film in his planned Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe, is creating waves ahead of its release on January 12, even though it is not as big as other Sankranthi releases in terms of star power and scale. ## The movie, due to its mythological connection, is having a good buzz among the Telugu audiences and to cash in on the opportunity to spread the word of mouth, the makers have planned paid previews across the country on January 11 and the response to them has been sensational, to say the least. ## There have been a total of 660+ shows allotted for the Telugu version in paid premieres and the advance booking gross collection of them is close to 2.50 crores (including some block seats) with a fantastic occupancy of around 60%. Over 350 shows nationwide are either sold out or fast-filling which shows the craze of the movie among the audiences. ## Hanuman worldwide theatrical business has been locked at approximately 27 crores. The movie is releasing amid a crowded festive season, so word of mouth will be crucial for its success. A decent to good WOM will do the job, considering it is already having a craze among the audiences. ## Produced by Primeshow Entertainment, the movie features an ensemble cast of Teja Sajja, Amritha Aiyer, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, Raj Deepak Shetty and Vinay Rai. It is set in the fictional village of Anjanadri and is scheduled to be released in Telugu, along with dubbed versions of Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, Hindi, Marathi, English, Spanish, Korean, Japanese and Chinese. ## Stay tuned...
