BREAKING: Gadar 2-OMG 2-Rocky Aur Rani-Jailer effect: PVR-Inox creates HISTORY; achieves ALL-TIME high footfalls of 12.80 lakh patrons and earns Rs. 39.50 crores gross on August 13

The exhibition sector suffered the maximum during the pandemic. Many producers opted for a direct digital release and this affected the theatres which had to stay shut for most of 2020 and 2021. Last year, theatres were running with full force but several films flopped big time. The scenario has improved drastically in 2023. The weekend gone by has been historic as Gadar 2 emerged as a blockbuster. OMG 2, despite the adult theme, also did well and so did Rajinikanth’s Jailer. Bollywood Hungama yesterday had reported that even the holdover releases like Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, Meg 2: The Trench, Oppenheimer, Barbie, Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning – Part One etc were running house full.

It has now come to light that PVR Inox has set a record. On August 13, it entertained as many as 12.80 lakh patrons. This is the highest number of footfalls seen by the multiplex chain in its history. In all, it earned Rs. 39.50 crores gross. Between August 11 and August 13, it served 33.60 lakh patrons and earned a gross revenue of more than Rs. 100 crores.

A statement from the company read, “PVR Inox, the largest and the most premium cinema exhibitor in India has achieved the feat of highest ever admissions and box office in a single day across our circuit on August 13, 2023. We entertained 12.8 lakh guests and earned Gross box office revenue of Rs. 39.50 crores. The weekend of 11-13th August 2023, was also the biggest weekend ever in Company’s history. We welcomed 33.6 lakh guests at our cinemas and earned Gross box office revenue of Rs. 100+ crores during the weekend.”

The statement further said, “These feats were achieved on the back of solid box office performances from the stellar content released last week including Gadar 2 (Hindi), Jailer (Tamil) and OMG 2 (Hindi) and continued success of content released in earlier weeks including Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani (Hindi) and Oppenheimer (English) which continued their steady performance. This record-setting result validates that consumer enthusiasm for experiencing films in an immersive, larger than life, cinematic environment is as strong as ever.”

No 3D version of Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Jawan overseas but will have IMAX and 4DX release worldwide; advance booking opens to a BUMPER response in Germany and the Netherlands

The box office right now is on fire thanks to the insane response to the Sunny Deol-starrer Gadar 2. OMG 2, meanwhile, too has managed to put up impressive numbers. Meanwhile, many moviegoers and trade have set their eyes on September 7 already, the day Jawan will release in cinemas worldwide. A few days ago, during the ‘Ask SRK’ session, superstar Shah Rukh Khan revealed that Jawan will have a release in the IMAX 3D version as well.

Bollywood Hungama, however, has learned from the exhibition sources that Jawan will have a release in 2D version only in overseas territories, in IMAX and normal screens. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “There’s no 3D version of the film, at least outside India. However, across the world, viewers can enjoy Jawan in the IMAX and 4DX screens.”

Some days back, the advance booking of Jawan opened in countries like the USA, Germany and the Netherlands. As of now, there’s no confirmation on when the bookings will start in India.

What has been heartening is that the bookings in Germany and the Netherlands have been very encouraging. The show at UCI LUXE Mercedes IMAX, Berlin, Germany is fast filling and is priced at €25. Two cinemas of Pathé in the Netherlands have commenced advance booking – Pathé Spuimarkt IMAX and Pathé Ypenburg – both of which are located in The Hague. These shows are publicized on Pathé’s website as ‘festive public premieres’. Moviegoers are encouraged to come 30 minutes early to enjoy a dance show and an award ceremony before the film’s screening. The ticket is priced at €17.50 and it is also inclusive of a snack and drink.

Jawan is Shah Rukh Khan’s second film to release in IMAX. The first one was Pathaan which was released earlier this year.

At News18 Shiv Shakti conclave, Shraddha Kapoor said, “100%, Absolutely that’s me. I love sharing when I am having my Poha, I love sharing when I am enjoying my cup of Chai in my little cup which I am so attached to that every day I am like, ‘Is my cup Ok, Is my cup Ok’ and people know that. I love sharing, what did I have for dinner.”

Amid this when the host asked, Is there such a thing that is oversharing or do you don’t believe that there is any term called Oversharing, to this, the actress added, “I feel very fortunate for the kind of relationship that I have developed with my well-wishers and fans. I will be very honest with you, I think it’s extra special, if I may say so. We have like-minded thoughts even when I go out somewhere and someone tells me, we have the same handbag I saw on your post, someone would say we have the same trousers, we have the same kurta and it’s so nice to feel like one big happy family.”

On the work front, Shraddha Kapoor will be next seen in Stree 2, wherein she will be reprising her much-loved character from Stree.
