Animal box office collections: Ranbir Kapoor film tops USD 25M Overseas, 8th Bollywood film to do so
With USD 25.30 million (Rs. 211 crore), the Ranbir Kapoor starrer has now become the eighth Bollywood film to surpass this coveted milestone, sans China.
Animal added USD 425K on its second Wednesday to its overseas box office tally yesterday, propelling it over the USD 25 million mark. With USD 25.30 million (Rs. 211 crore), the Ranbir Kapoor starrer has now become the eighth Bollywood film to surpass this coveted milestone, sans China. The film remains on track to reach USD 30 million final, which only three films have managed to date; namely, Dangal, Pathaan and Jawan.
The worldwide box office gross of the film is approaching Rs. 750 crore, with Rs. 748 crore in thirteen days, of which Rs. 537 crore has come from domestic market of India.
Canada and Australia are on the cusp of breaking the all-time records for an Indian film. Currently, Canada is merely CAD 300K shy of Pathaan's CAD 6.05 million, while Australia trails by just AUD 200K from the AUD 4.72 million record, also held by Pathaan. Come Saturday, Animal will be taking the top spot in both markets, subsequently expected to set new benchmarks with first CAD 7 million and AUD 5 million gross in the days to come.
Elsewhere, the film has demonstrated robust performance both in the United States and the United Kingdom. In the former, it ranks as the seventh highest-grossing film of all time, accumulating USD 6.80 million. Meanwhile, in the United Kingdom, it is on the verge of surpassing GBP 2 million and will potentially reach the top ten grossers of all time. The Middle East has shown a comparatively lower performance compared to other markets, accumulating a total of USD 4.40 million to date, with a final expected figure of around USD 5.50 million. The region tends to under index for non-Khan films and that has been the case here as well. Notably, only one non-Khan film has grossed over USD 5 million in the region, that being Bang Bang in 2014. Animal will be the second to do so, despite missing the release in Qatar and Oman.
