Box Office: Salman Khan's 'Antim' Jumps On Sunday To Finish The Opening Weekend On A Decent Note

Mumbai, November 28 - Superstar Salman Khan's extended screen presence in "Antim: The Final Truth" has helped the film to end the opening weekend on a decent note at the box office. Directed by Mahesh Manjrekar, "Antim" opened over this weekend on Friday (November 26). ## With Aayush Sharma and Mahima Makawana in the lead roles, the movie netted ₹ 5.03 cr on Friday (slightly lower than expected). The strong word of mouth and positive critics reviews came to the party as the movie jumped by 19.88% (₹ 6.03) on Saturday and then by 25.21% on Sunday for ₹ 7.55 crores, for a 3-day total of ₹ 18.61 crores.## While the producers won't be too disappointed with the box office outcome of "Antim" so far, it was, however, expected to do much more than it actually did. The family audience is still hesitating to visit theaters despite the positive trend towards cinema-going. ## Meanwhile, on the other hand, John Abraham-starrer "Satyameva Jayate 2", which was released a day earlier on November 25, performed low over the opening weekend for an estimated 4-day total of ₹ 10.45 Cr. Despite seeing a slight jump on Sunday, the sequel to 2018's film fell well short of what the producers had expected from it at the box office. ## Yash Raj Films' "Bunty Aur Babli 2", is another film that didn't find its audience and was rejected at the box office. Starring Saif Ali Khan, Rani Mukerji, Sharvari Wagh, and Siddhant Chaturvedi, the sequel to 2005's hit film, netted just ₹ 11.9 crores in the opening week in India, starting from November 19. Overseas, it grossed ₹ 6.50 crores for the total worldwide gross of ₹ 20.5 crores. ## Stay tuned...

'Hellbound' Director Stunned By No. 1 Spot On Netflix Viewership Rankings

Mumbai, November 28 - South Korean web shows are making a huge roar on Netflix's viewership charts at the global level. After "Squid Game" became Netflix's biggest blockbuster show ever, the latest on the list is the supernatural horror series "Hellbound". ## The show, which is directed by Yeon Sang-Ho ("Train To Busan"), has taken Netflix's number 1 spot in the list of most-watched tv shows globally within a few days of release. Just like the viewers, the show has also taken the director Yeon by surprise as he is stunned by the response it is getting. ## The show also topped Netflix's official weekly chart for non-English TV programs with 43.5 million hours of viewing for the week from November 15-21, despite having only three days to count views. Speaking to media, Yeon said, "I was stunned after hearing the news that 'Hellbound' placed No. 1 on the global rankings table when I woke up the next morning. When I had discussed this project with Netflix, I thought I would be satisfied with a second-place finish on Korea's daily chart".## Based on the webtoon titled 'Hell', 'Hellbound', co-written and drawn by Yeon and Choi Kyu-sok, depicts social turmoil and unrest after a series of inexplicable supernatural phenomena. The smoky golem-like creatures believed to have come from hell, incinerate people who receive divine revelations about being punished, prompting an outbreak of public hysteria and religious zealotry.## The 6-episodes series features Yoo Ah-in, Kim Hyun-joo, Park Jeong-min, Won Jin-ah, and Yang Ik-june in key roles.

Box Office: 'Dune' Becomes Warner Bros.' Second Day-And-Date Release To Gross $100M Domestically

Los Angeles, November 28 - A big box office win for Warner Bros. as Denis Villeneuve-directed sci-fi film "Dune" touched the $100 million domestic mark. It also becomes the studio's second day-and-date release in theaters and on HBO Max to reach the milestone during the covid-19 pandemic. ## Released on October 21, "Dune" took 35 days to reach $100 million domestically. It is part of Warner Bros.' controversial theatrical-day-and-date HBO Max 2021 strategy. Earlier, Warner/Legendary's "Godzilla vs. Kong", had reached the milestone, it, however, took 12 weekends to reach there. "Godzilla vs. Kong" was also the first Hollywood film to reach $100 million in North America during the pandemic. ## Dune was on HBO Max during its first 31 days in theaters. It's now exclusively theatrical, currently playing in 1,312 theaters with a Thanksgiving weekend outlook of $2.26M over three days and $3.2M since Wednesday which will bring its U.S./Canada box office total to $102.4M by Sunday. It will also surpass "Godzilla vs. Kong" total domestic gross of $100.5 million to become Warner's biggest hit of 2021. ## Internationally, where it is playing exclusively in theaters, "Dune" has grossed $270 million so far, taking its total worldwide haul to $370 million. It may not cross "Godzilla vs. Kong's" total worldwide gross of $467.8 million, but a $400 million globally will be a massive result for the studio.## Happy with the box office outcome and HBO Max streaming, Warner Bros.' has already green-lit a sequel to this epic sci-fi, based on the 1965 novel of the same name by Frank Herbert. Over the last few decades, Dune has been regarded by most critics and fans of the novel as impossible to realize on film. But, a lot of people who had never read the book, but were curious, went out and took a chance on the sci-fi epic. ## Meanwhile, Denis Villeneuve always wanted "Dune's" exclusive theatrical release. He even criticized Warner Bros.' decision to send the film on HBO Max. In a Variety column on Dec. 10 last year, Villeneuve wrote, "With this decision, AT&T has hijacked one of the most respectable and important studios in film history. There is absolutely no love for cinema, nor for the audience here".## "It is all about the survival of a telecom mammoth, one that is currently bearing an astronomical debt of more than $150 billion", and that "streaming alone can't sustain the film industry as we knew it before COVID. Streaming can produce great content, but not movies of Dune’s scope and scale. Warner Bros.' decision means Dune won't have the chance to perform financially in order to be viable and piracy will ultimately triumph. Warner Bros. might just have killed the Dune franchise. This one is for the fans. AT&T's John Stankey said that the streaming horse left the barn. In truth, the horse left the barn for the slaughterhouse", the filmmaker added.## Stay tuned...

Rohit Shetty Confirms The Fifth Installment Of Blockbuster Golmaal Franchise

Mumbai, November 27 - Filmmaker Rohit Shetty made his directorial debut with Ajay Devgn-fronted "Zameen" (2003), however, it was the first instalment of the Golmaal series in 2006 that gave him a respected name in the Bollywood film industry. Since "Golmaal: Fun Unlimited" was the first of the four films in the Golmaal franchise, the last coming in 2017 is "Golmaal Again". ## Golmaal has been a standout franchise in Bollywood in terms of box office and in the comic genre. Every film in the franchise has taken it a notch higher. In 2018, director Rohit Shetty had announced Golmaal 5 with the primary cast. However, the covid-19 pandemic and the delayed release of "Sooryavshi", left the 5th instalment in limbo. ## With things are looking a lot brighter than the year or two, the talks of Golmaal 5 have started making noise again. Keeping talks to rest, the filmmaker has himself confirmed that the fifth installment of the massively successful Golmaal series is on. "It'll happen. As I've been saying, two years went over this (lockdowns and Sooryavanshi's release). Golmaal is something that can never end", Shetty told Bollywood life. ## Meanwhile, Shetty refuted the speculations around the rumoured plot of "Singham 3". It was recently reported that Ajay Devgn-fronted third Singham film will be based on Article 370. Speaking about the same, Shetty said, "Even I've heard that the story is out, even though I myself don't know what the story is – that Singham 3 is being made on Article 370, which even I don't know".## The filmmaker further said that he has a basic idea about the story, but it's too early to talk about it as, according to him, the movie won't begin until the end of next year. So there is still a lot of time left for Singham 3 to get on the floor. Meanwhile, some reports have claimed that Shetty and Singham team have already locked Independence Day 2023 release date for the film. ## Stay tuned...
