OTT Platforms To Blame For Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 Clash

Mumbai, November 8 - It was recently reported how the OTT platforms have been controlling the theatrical releases of Bollywood films by signing pre-contracts for the streaming release, and this practice has been admitted by producer Bhushan Kumar whose Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 made to clash with director Rohit Shetty's Singham Again. ## The box office clash between BB3 and Singham Again didn't make sense as both films were hugely anticipated and were seen as potential blockbusters. While both movies are doing well at the box office, one must admit that their overall potential was cut short by the unwanted clash due to their streaming partners. ## Producer Bhushan Kumar of T-Series said in an interview with Bollywood Hungama that both parties attempted to avoid the clash as both franchises are highly valuable and hold significant audiences. However, despite the intention to not release the movies on the same day, Kumar admitted that contractual constraints with OTT platforms and creative factors made it unavoidable. ## "Nowadays, there are some constraints, like pre-commitments with OTT platforms. If you try to change those dates, the OTT platform doesn't allow it. That was our constraint, and they probably had similar ones", the filmmaker said. BB3 post-theatrical rights are with Netflix while Amazon Prime Video has Singham 3. ## Kumar, however, expressed satisfaction over the fact that both movies are performing well against the odds. "So it's okay as long as our film is getting so much love. And it has done enough business that the film is now safe", he added. ## Released during the lucrative Diwali weekend, Singham Again has scored a very good opening week of over 200 crores gross in India and over 250 crores worldwide. BB3, on the other hand, has minted 240+ crores gross worldwide, including approximately 190 crores gross in India. ## Stay tuned...

This might go higher depending on mass belts but still fantastic numbers on the working day and in a major clash. This takes the total collection of the movie to around 139 crores net in 4 days.## The initial word of mouth seemed to be mixed but the strong Monday hold indicates the acceptance of the movie among the audience which is a good sign going forward as the movie has an open run with BB3. The first full week can be 175+ crores net which is fantastic. ## Kartik Aaryan-fronted horror-comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is also putting up a solid show at the box office and after legging behind Singham Again the opening weekend despite excellent numbers of 106 crores net, the movie has started matching the daily collection. ## Word of mouth for BB3 is positive which was expected to give the movie an edge over Singham Again at some point. According to the early estimates, the film scored in the range of 17-18 crores net. The numbers are pretty much similar to SA today and the exact position will be known by tomorrow morning. ## The total collection of BB3 is around 123+ crores net after 4 days and the first week is headed to 160 crores net which is excellent. As said, there is no new Bollywood film for at least a month so that is a big advantage of both BB3 and SA. However, there is the Tamil movie Kanguva, scheduled for November 14, which is expected to get a good number of screens. So how much it affects both the films needs to be seen. ## Stay tuned...

Are Singham Again Collections Manipulated by Producers?

Mumbai, November 3: Singham Again, despite competing with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, opened robustly at the box office on November 1, 2024, with an impressive India net collection of 43.70 Cr (producers figure). However, discrepancies in reported figures have led to speculation about the authenticity of these numbers, with some trade analysts citing collections between 38 Cr to 41 Cr for Hindi net. ## Our analysis reveals that the film's tracked gross collection from 13,810 shows on its opening day was 43.44 Cr. Typically, there's a 2%-5% variance between online ticket sales data and actual attendance due to last-minute bookings or ticket sales at the box office after online platforms close. This adjustment pushes the estimated online collection to between 44.30 Cr and 45.61 Cr. ## Moreover, the offline market, which includes single-screen theaters not represented in online booking systems, adds another layer to the collection tally. Historical data from blockbuster releases like "Jawan," "Gadar 2," and "Stree 2" suggest that offline collections can significantly boost total figures. For instance, "Stree 2" tracked collection was 47 Cr gross but later adjusted to nearly 65 Cr Gross due to offline sales. ## The offline market for the Hindi belt is around 20 Cr Gross. Given the Diwali release and competition, it's estimated that "Singham Again" captured about 11 Cr from the offline market, split in a 55:45 ratio with "Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3." With an overall occupancy rate of 65% and considering data from over 100 single-screen theaters, we estimate "Singham Again" garnered approximately 7.50 Cr from this segment. Adding this to the online tracked gross of about 45 Cr, we arrive at a gross of approximately 52.50 Cr, translating to around 43.50 Cr India net. ## Therefore, based on our comprehensive analysis, we conclude that the collections reported by the producers of "Singham Again" are NOT manipulated. ## About This film ## This film is directed by Rohit Shetty and produced by Jio Studios, Rohit Shetty Productions, and Reliance Entertainment. ## Singham Again stars Ajay Devgn, Deepika Padukone, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Akshay Kumar, Ranveer Singh, Arjun Kapoor, Tiger Shroff, and Jackie Shroff in key roles. ## Stay tuned.

Kartik Aaryan's 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3' Opening Day Box Office Expectations

Mumbai, October 31 - After joining hands to score a big blockbuster in the form of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, actor Kartik Aaryan and director Aneez Bazmee reunited with producer Bhushan Kumar of T-Series for the third instalment of this horror-comedy franchise which is soaring to new heights. ## Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has been one of the most-anticipated Bollywood movies ever since it was announced, due to the franchise value, plus, the horror-comedy genre has been in demand in recent times. The success of Stree 2 and Munjya along with BB2 made the upcoming movie to watch out for and to date, things are looking extremely favourable. ## BB3 was censored with the U/A certificate with an approved runtime of 2 hours and 38 minutes and as per reports, it will be released on around 3000 screens nationwide which is a big release considering a clash with mighty Singham Again. ## Despite getting fewer screens, the pre-sales of BB3 are surprisingly more than Singham Again though the difference is negligible and the fact that Singham 3 bookings opened late. It is still a positive indication that there will be a solid start for the horror-comedy and surely much much better than Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. ## As of now, BB3 has sold approximately 430K+ tickets worth 13.50 crores gross (without block seats) for the opening day which is among the highest of the year. The holiday factor will boost the spot booking, however, it is likely to lag behind Singham Again due to the genre as action has more appeal among the masses than any other genre. Considering all the aspects, BB3 is expected to open in the range of 30 crores net. ## Word of mouth will be a deciding factor between the clash of Singham Again and BB3 and the latter will hope for favourable reports from the first show as the Ajay Devgn-starrer is likely to have the upper hand in the initials. However, the clash is so tight that both movies will challenge each other during the day and that's where audience reports going to be crucial. ## Stay tuned...
