Mirai Box Office: The End of Ticket Hikes?

Nowadays ticket hikes are a major reason for audiences not coming to the theaters on a regular basis. One can understand if a big film gets hikes, but even medium-range movies also do the same. But Teja Sajja’s Mirai’s success could be the end of ticket hikes.

The industry people have often expressed that the huge hikes in ticket prices will not help the footfalls, but the makers continued to go for hikes for all films. For star-hero films or big-budget films, the hikes are fine.

But even the tier 2 stars’ films with just around 30 Cr business are also taking the ticket hikes in Andhra Pradesh. However, the latest blockbuster, Mirai, did not apply for ticket hikes and went with normal prices.

The fantasy adventure film is posting record numbers for tier 2 star films, which proves that at least for this range of films, the makers need not go for the ticket hike, and the G.O prices are enough to achieve breakeven and bigger numbers.

In Telangana, the tier 2-star films are not taking the hike, but in Andhra Pradesh, they are taking a hike of 50 Rs or 75 Rs, which is also not needed. Hopefully Mirai’s success stops the medium-budget films from going for such high prices.

War 2 vs Coolie Final Box Office: Coolie Leads by 150 Cr Worldwide

War 2 and Coolie were both released on the same date, i.e., 14th August. The initial expectations hinted at the sequel of War having an edge over Rajinikanth’s film. However, Coolie leads by 150 Cr in the final box office status over War 2.

Coolie dominates War 2 from the beginning

Despite the film coming in the combination of Lokesh Kanagaraj and Rajinikanth, most audiences and even the trade thought the film might be limited to only the South, and they all predicted that War 2 would perform in all territories. 

But from pre-bookings to the opening day, Coolie takes a clear lead over War 2, and compared to the spy action drama, the film gets better WOM and reviews that help it continue the lead in the full run as well.

Coolie has a big lead over War 2 at the Final Box Office

Even though Coolie is not a super hit at the box office, in the battle at the theaters, Coolie emerges as the winner with a 150 Cr margin lead over War 2. Rajinikanth’s action drama ended its box office run with 520 Cr gross worldwide, whereas War 2 ended up with 367 Cr gross worldwide.

Coolie is an average venture at the box office, whereas War 2 is an unexpected disaster, and in any consideration, the former is the winner over the latter.

War 2 Worldwide Closing Collections

Hrithik Roshan and NTR’s War 2, which was released this August in theaters, was expected to create a phenomenon at the box office. However, the film failed to meet the expectations. War 2 Worldwide Closing collections are out now. 

Because it was made with the biggest combination of a big South star and a big North star and was a part of the franchise, everyone expected the film to easily collect 1000 Cr at the box office.

War 2: Poor Buzz From The Start

However, somehow the film’s promotional content failed to create any hype among audiences, and the spy series’ downfall impacted the film from pre-bookings itself. The film received below-par advance bookings, and on the opening day, the numbers were also not up to expectations.

At the same time, the competition with Rajinikanth’s Coolie also added to the low buzz for the War sequel, and the film opened with unanimous negative reviews. Because of all these, the film sees poor numbers at the box office.

War 2 Box Office: Dismal Performance in Telugu States

Undoubtedly, for War 2, the Telugu states’ performance was a shocking one. Telugu state rights were bought for 82 Cr excluding GST, and the film collected around 150 Cr gross, whereas the film ended up with just 67 Cr in collections, incurring huge losses.

The rest of the South states provided 26 Cr gross, and in North India, even though the collections were low, compared to Telugu, the numbers are reasonable, as the spy action drama collected 190 Cr gross.

So, the total all-India gross was 283 Cr, and overseas also the film had disappointing collections and ended up with $9.5M overseas.

Overall, War 2’s worldwide closing collections (gross) stand at 367 Cr, and its box office verdict is a disaster in all territories.
