Box Office: John Wick 4, Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar and Mrs Chatterjee Vs Norway show expected drops on Monday
The month of March has been good for the box office in general and it is over to Bholaa and Dasara to take the reigns forward.
John Wick Chapter 4, spearheaded by Keanu Reeves, continued to be the most preferred movie choice at the box office in India on Monday. It of course saw drops but the percentage isn't too steep, considering that it is a Hollywood film. Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar and Mrs Chatterjee Vs Norway held on expected lines on Monday. The Ranbir-Shraddha starrer, which has now been in theatres for 20 days now, collected around Rs 1.20 crores nett on its third Monday, around 35 percent down from its Friday. Rani Mukerjee's drama on its 11th day, dropped by around 40 percent from second Friday and collected around 55 lakhs.
John Wick Chapter 4 In 4 Days Has Collected Around Rs 30 Crores Nett
John Wick 4 dropped by around 55 percent from Friday. The film collected around Rs 2.75 - 3 crores on its fourth day. The drop is pretty much on expected lines, again. Hollywood films tend to register steep drops on weekdays before they come back to action over the weekends. The hold of the film is better than films like Batman and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and this ensures that it will get to Rs 50 crores nett eventually. It is to be noted that John Wick isn't a recognised brand at the Indian box office and above all, it is certified 'A' by the Indian censors, leading to no family audience. John Wick 4's greatest achievement is that it has outgrossed the sum total of all its previous installments, very comfortably, thus establishing a base for the fifth film in the franchise that releases in India.

The film is eyeing a lifetime total of around Rs 125 - 130 crores nett depending on how it holds, and it is definitely a very acceptable number even from the producer's point of view.
