Mumbai, September 11 - The Indian box office is about to witness a storm from an unfamiliar friend as Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle is all set for a massive opening. The film, directed by Haruo Sotozaki, is arriving with historic levels of anticipation among fans of Japanese animation, and advance bookings confirm that India is gearing up for a massive opening. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has cleared the film with a U/A certificate and a runtime of 2 hours and 35 minutes. This makes it accessible to younger audiences as well as families, giving the film an additional boost beyond the core anime fandom. As per reports, it will be released on over 1700 screens nationwide by Sony Pictures. Bookings for Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle have been phenomenal, already grossing over 25 crores before release for the opening weekend. For opening day alone, the pre-sales are around 12 crores gross, which is one of the highest this year. With a few hours still left for the release, the final opening day sales could be 14-15+ crores gross, which is huge. Though the pre-sales of Infinity Castle are huge, animation still has a limited reach beyond fandom in India. But given how past films have fared with these sorts of bookings, the animated saga is expected to open in the range of 18-20 crores gross in India. It is already the biggest non-Hollywood grosser in India, even before the first show begins. The film will be released in the original Japanese along with dubbed versions in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and English, expanding its reach across regions. With early morning shows starting as early as 5 AM, as well as the midnight shows in some cities, the demand is clearly unprecedented for an anime film in India. Stay tuned...

Mumbai, September 11 - The Indian audience is yet to be done with the homemade Mahavatar Narsimha, there comes another animation phenomenon called Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Infinity Castle, which is about to set the Indian box office on fire with record-breaking numbers. The Japanese animated dark fantasy action film based on the "Infinity Castle" arc of the 2016–20 manga series Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba by Koyoharu Gotouge, Infinity Castle is in rampage mode, and has already become the highest-grossing non-Hollywood title in India with opening day pre-sales only. As per the latest trade report, the film has sold tickets worth over 10 crores gross for the opening day alone, and is heading towards around 15 crores gross. With this, it has beaten the collection of Suzume and Jujutsu Kaisen 0, which grossed around 10 crores in their respective lifetime runs in India. Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle, however, is looking to score much higher numbers. To understand the craze for the movie, Sony Pictures India has scheduled midnight and early morning shows on the public demand, which is a rarity for an animation film in India. On the ticketing platform, Book My Show, the movie has already sold over 500K tickets for all days, which indicates one of the biggest opening weekends for a non-Indian film this year in the country. The pre-sales of this animated blockbuster are better than any other foreign film this year, ahead of the recently released horror-thriller The Conjuring: Last Rites, which scored to record-breaking 61 crores opening weekend, after 21 crores opening day in India. Infinity Castle will be aiming to top the Last Rites, considering the pre-sales phenomenon. Directed by Haruo Sotozaki, the movie is scheduled to release on September 12 in the original Japanese language, along with the dubbed versions of English, Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil. Stay tuned...

Kochi, September 10 – Kalyani Priyadarshan's superhero spectacle Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra is proving to be a once-in-a-generation box office phenomenon in Malayalam cinema. The Dominic Arun directorial has shattered all expectations by entering the 200 crore worldwide box office club in just 13 days. After opening to rave reviews, the film has maintained extraordinary momentum both domestically and internationally. In Kerala alone, the movie is drawing record footfalls, while in overseas markets like the Middle East, North America, and Europe, it continues to post stunning numbers. Crossing the 200 crore milestone is a rare feat for Malayalam cinema, and Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra has done it with remarkable speed, becoming the second fastest to do so after Mohanlal's Empuraan. Overall, it is the fourth Malayalam film ever to breach this milestone, after Empuraan, Thudarum, and Manjummel Boys. As has been reported earlier, the trade believes the film has the potential to go much further, with family audiences and youngsters flocking to theatres in large numbers even after weekends. With no major competition on the horizon, the movie is expected to extend its dream run well into its third week and beyond. It is still a long way to go, but Lokah stands a genuine chance to become the highest-grossing Malayalam film by crossing Empuraan (267 crores), while also having an outside opportunity to become the first Mollywood film to reach 300 crores worldwide. The success of Lokah marks a watershed moment for regional cinema, showing how strong storytelling backed by visionary filmmaking can transcend linguistic and geographical barriers. This has opened new doors for Malayalam cinema, and particularly for the superhero genre. As the first chapter of what promises to be an ambitious franchise from Dulquer Salmaan's production, Chandra has set the stage for even bigger box office fireworks in the future. Stay tuned...

Mumbai, September 9 - Telugu superstar Pawan Kalyan's gangster action thriller They Call Him OG is one of the most-anticipated films. It is carrying excellent buzz among the fans, especially in Telugu states, where it is expected to open with massive numbers at the box office. While the film's box office potential is unquestionable in the Telugu market, it was widely anticipated to be Pawan Kalyan's breakthrough film in the Hindi market, given the decent buzz surrounding it. The presence of Emraan Hashmi was an advantage, as trade experts had hoped the film would open new doors for the star in the North belt. However, the latest reports suggest that the Hindi release plans have taken a massive setback. According to reports, OG is set to have a limited release in the North belt, as the film will not find a place in multiplex chains. As per industry norms, for any film to secure a multiplex release in Hindi circuits, it must run in theatres for a minimum of eight weeks before heading to streaming. In the case of OG, or for most of the South Indian films, it reportedly has a pre-agreement with an OTT platform for a limited theatrical release, which means the multiplexes are not on board for the Hindi release. Reports say Pawan Kalyan won't be promoting the movie outside the Telugu states. This comes as a major blow to OG's box office prospects in North India. With multiplexes out of the equation, the film is unlikely to find much ground in single screens either. Adding to the challenge, Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi's much-awaited comedy drama Jolly LLB 3 hits theatres just a week before OG, further limiting its chances to make a dent in the Hindi market through mass centres. While They Call Him OG is expected to score big numbers in its home markets, the Hindi release setback will significantly restrict its pan-India potential, which is particularly a disappointing outcome for the fans of Emraan Hashmi, who has a fan following among the youth. Produced by DVV Entertainment, OG also stars Priyanka Arul Mohan as the female lead. Directed by Saaho fame Sujeeth, the film is scheduled to release on September 25 in multiple languages.

Mumbai, September 9 - The Indian box office is bracing for a storm in the coming weekend in the form of a Japanese animation film Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle, which is seeing a historic response in the advance booking in the country, ahead of its September 12 release. Directed by Haruo Sotozaki, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle has already sold over 1 lakh tickets for its opening day, while overall weekend sales are over 2,50,000, across the three leading national cinema chains — PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis — a staggering feat for an animated title. The film has reportedly sold tickets worth over 15 crores gross for the opening weekend, already becoming the biggest non-Hollywood foreign animation or live-action film in India. It has beaten the collection of Suzume and Jujutsu Kaisen 0 with the advance sales only. The animation has seen an unexpected rise at the Indian box office this year. After the homemade Mahavatar Narsimha, which is the biggest Indian animated grosser worldwide as well as at the Indian box office, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle is set to take things a notch higher, as far as the opening weekend is concerned. There are still two days left before the first show begins, and no one can tell where this Infinity Castle advance booking storm is heading. It is basically unlocking the true potential for the animation market in India. It is learned that the sales are also strong for the weekdays, which points to the unbelievable craze for the movie in the country. Stay tuned...

Hyderabad, September 9 - The unpredictability of the box office has struck again as the Telugu film industry has found its latest sleeper hit in Mouli Tanuj and Shivani Nagaram's rom-com Little Hearts. The film, made on a tiny budget of just around 2 crores and featuring relatively unknown faces, has taken the trade by surprise with its strong box office performance. After opening to a good collection of around 2.50 crores worldwide, Little Hearts clocked an impressive 12 crores gross in its first weekend. But the real surprise came on day 4, when the film managed to outgross its opening day, signalling extraordinary audience reception and the strength of positive word of mouth. With its 4-day worldwide gross collection standing at over 15 crores, the film has already recovered multiple times its production cost and is well on its way to becoming a massive blockbuster. Such a trajectory is rare in today's times, especially for a small-budget film without star power or aggressive marketing campaigns. The chemistry between Mouli Tanuj and Shivani Nagaram, coupled with a simple yet heartwarming narrative, has struck a chord with audiences across demographics. With demand only growing, Little Hearts is poised to continue its dream run at the box office, proving once again that good content and strong word of mouth can triumph over big budgets and big names.

Mumbai, September 8 - Warner Bros. Pictures' horror franchise that has been sending chills down spines for over a decade is back with a bang. The Conjuring: Last Rites, directed by Michael Chaves, opened to massive record-breaking numbers at the global box office, reaffirming the brand's strength among horror fans worldwide. In India, the film grossed over 61 crores ($6.9 million) during its 3-day opening weekend. This makes it by far the biggest debut for a non-Indian horror film and the second-biggest opening weekend ever for a horror film in the country. Multiplex chains in metros saw excellent occupancies, while Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities also contributed significantly to the film's strong numbers. The impressive performance indicates that the horror genre continues to have a loyal following in India, especially when backed by a trusted franchise like The Conjuring. Over the last couple of years, horror films have found success in India, and Last Rites has taken it to another level. Worldwide, The Conjuring: Last Rites delivered a staggering $194 million in its opening frame, which is a record for a horror film, beating 2017's It ($190 million). This includes a phenomenal record $84 million in North America and a record-breaking $110 million from international markets. These numbers not only underline the global appeal of the franchise but also position the film as one of the strongest openers of the year across all genres, not just horror. Mexico was the biggest overseas market for the Last Rites outside the US and Canada, with $13.3 million, followed by the United Kingdom ($8.8 million) and Brazil ($7.7 million). India was the 4th biggest international market for the film, ahead of Indonesia ($5.6 million). Interestingly, the international debut of $104 million of The Last Rites is bigger than any superhero film of 2025. The film is well-positioned for a long and successful run, given its respectable word-of-mouth and the solid foundation of the Conjuring brand. With India showing excellent trending and international markets responding in a big way, The Conjuring: Last Rites is on course to become one of the highest-grossing horror films of all time.

Chennai, September 8 - The rising Tamil star Sivakarthikeyan's psychological action thriller film Madharaasi opened in the worldwide cinemas this weekend. Despite the low buzz, the film managed to make a mark at the box office with a good collection in India and overseas. Directed by AR Murugadoss, Madharaasi marks his maiden collaboration with Sivakarthikeyan and a reunion with Vidyut Jammwal. The film opened to mostly positive reviews in the home market, particularly in Tamil Nadu, and a mixed reception elsewhere, which was also reflected in its opening weekend business. Madharasi scored a hat-trick of double-digit scores in Tamil Nadu, even though the trend remained on the downward side. After opening to over 12+ crores gross, the film scored 11 crores on Saturday and around 10.50 crores on Sunday to close the opening weekend with approximately 34 crores gross in the state. Overall, Madharaasi grossed approximately 43 crores opening weekend in India, which is the second biggest for Sivakarthikeyan after Amaran, which minted big 95+ crores in its 4-day weekend in 2024. Overseas, the latest blockbuster has scored an estimated 20 crores gross, pushing its worldwide collection to around 63 crores. In comparison, Amaran had scored 140 crores worldwide. While the opening weekend collections of Madharasi are respectable, it becomes crucial for the film to hold well in the coming days to emerge as a box office hit. Despite the positive reviews, the downward trend in the home state could be a concern for the film, and it needs to be seen how it fares during the weekdays.

Mumbai, September 8 - National award-winning filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri's Files trilogy is heading towards a disappointing conclusion after the final chapter, The Bengal Files, falling short of expectations at the box office despite carrying similarities with The Kashmir Files, which became a mega blockbuster success. Based on the tragic true events surrounding Direct Action Day, also known as the Great Calcutta Killings on August 16, 1946, The Bengal Files has had an underwhelming opening weekend collection at the domestic box office. Despite positive reviews, the movie couldn't fly during the weekend after a decent opening of 1.75 crores net. TBF scored just around one-fourth (25%) of TKF with approximately 6.75 crores net (8 crores gross) in its 3-day opening weekend domestically. In comparison, the previous film in the Files series, The Kashmir Files, had an excellent domestic weekend with around 32 crores gross (27+ crores net). The sharp decline between the two films highlights the massive gap in audience interest towards the subject. While The Kashmir Files benefitted from extraordinary word-of-mouth, along with the awareness of the historical events, and became a cultural phenomenon, The Bengal Files is struggling to gain momentum, as trade believes that not many people are aware of the events shown in the film. One of the other major reasons for TBF's underwhelming performance is that the hasn't been allowed to release in its best-suited market, West Bengal, under political pressure from the ruling state party. The coming weekdays will be crucial to determine whether the film can pick up pace or settle for a modest run compared to its blockbuster predecessor. Stay tuned...
