Box Office Predictions: Superman Set to Dominate Over Bollywood Releases

Major Releases This Friday

This Friday marked the debut of three significant films: Maalik, Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, and the Hollywood blockbuster Superman. While the Bollywood films are anticipated to have a slow start, Superman is forecasted to take the lead with impressive box office numbers. Initial trends indicate that Superman may continue to perform strongly throughout the weekend unless the Indian films experience an unexpected increase in audience turnout.

Superman Expected Box Office Performance on Day 1

Superman is projected to top the box office on its opening day in India, with estimated earnings between Rs 8-10 crore. The film has created significant buzz and has received acclaim for its grand scale and engaging narrative, which is likely to contribute to robust growth over the weekend.

Details About Superman

Directed by James Gunn, Superman features David Corenswet in the lead role, supported by a talented cast including Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult, Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, and Isabela Merced.

Maalik's Day 1 Box Office Predictions

Maalik, featuring Rajkummar Rao, is expected to earn around Rs 3-4 crore on its first day. While this figure is reasonable for a mid-budget film, it falls short given the movie's reported production cost of Rs 50 crore. The upcoming weekend will be critical for Maalik to build momentum and avoid a disappointing start.

About Maalik

This action drama showcases Rajkummar Rao in a gritty role alongside Manushi Chhillar. Set in Allahabad in 1988, Maalik explores the dark underbelly of crime, with Rao portraying a cunning and ruthless gangster. Directed by Pulkit, the film also features Prosenjit Chatterjee in a significant role.

Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan's Opening Day Forecast

Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, starring Vikrant Massey and Shanaya Kapoor, is on track for a lackluster opening. Predictions for Day 1 suggest a collection of merely Rs 40-50 lakh, placing the film in a challenging position. A remarkable surge in ticket sales over the weekend will be necessary to improve its prospects.

About Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan

In this film, Shanaya Kapoor plays a theatre artist, while Vikrant Massey takes on the role of a blind musician. Directed by Santosh Singh, the movie is inspired by Ruskin Bond’s short story, The Eyes Have It.
