SS Rajamouli's RRR tops $10 million in Japan; Set to cross Rs. 1200 crores worldwide today
RRR worldwide total now stands at Rs. 1199 crores and is expected to cross Rs. 1200 crores today. Last week, RRR surpassed KGF Chapter 2 to become the third highest-grossing Indian film of all time.
RRR has achieved another significant milestone in Japan by crossing the $10 million mark. Though it could have been attained earlier if not for the weak exchange rates of the Yen in recent times. Notably, the twenty-first week of the film's run in Japan marked its biggest week yet, with JPY 125 million, representing a 60% growth from the previous week. This surge in revenue can be attributed to the "Oscars bump" resulting from the movie's Best Song win at the 95th Academy Awards ceremony held last Sunday. While Best Song is not considered a major category like Best Picture or Best Actor, its win has still provided a considerable boost to the film's collection.
RRR to cross Rs. 1200 crores worldwide
As of last night, the SS Rajamouli-directed epic has grossed JPY 1348 million ($10.10 million) in Japan. Consequently, the movie's worldwide total now stands at a staggering Rs. 1199 crores and is expected to cross Rs. 1200 crores today. Last week, RRR surpassed KGF Chapter 2 to become the third highest-grossing Indian film and is currently consolidating its position.
The week-wise box office collections of RRR in Japan are as follows:
Week 1 - JPY 81 million (8 days)
Week 2 - JPY 72 million
Week 3 - JPY 65 million
Week 4 - JPY 45 million
Week 5 - JPY 50 million
Week 6 - JPY 48 million
Week 7 - JPY 28 million
Week 8 - JPY 26 million
Week 9 - JPY 21 million
Week 10 - JPY 28 million
Week 11 - JPY 31 million
Week 12 - JPY 27 million
Week 13 - JPY 73 million
Week 14 - JPY 110 million
Week 15 - JPY 117 million
Week 16 - JPY 89 million
Week 17 - JPY 75 million
Week 18 - JPY 86 million
Week 19 - JPY 83 million
Week 20 - JPY 78 million
Week 21 - JPY 115 million approx
Total - JPY 1348 million (USD 10.10 million / Rs. 82 crores)
As evident from the data above, the film has barely shown any drop in collections over the last two months or so. The twentieth week of the film was 5 per cent higher than its thirteenth week, that’s when the whole awards season surge started. With such sustained momentum, it is difficult to predict where the film's collections will end up, especially considering Japan's tendency to produce such prolonged runs. However, it is highly likely that RRR will surpass the JPY 1.4 billion mark by the end of Sunday and comfortably hit JPY 1.5 billion, possibly targeting the coveted JPY 2 billion mark over the next couple of months.
