Kantara Chapter 1 Overseas Box Office: 11 Days Area Wise Details

Rishab Shetty’s Kantara Chapter 1 has broken many records at the box office in its theatrical run of 11 days, but the film’s overseas box office is a bit underwhelming for the pre-release expectations. 

Kantara Chapter 1 Area-Wise Overseas Collections For 11 Days

  • North America $4.1M
  • Middle East $3.7M
  • Australia $0.96M
  • UK Ireland $0.85M
  • Malaysia $0.37M
  • Singapore $0.18M
  • Germany $0.19M
  • Newzealand $0.08M
  • RestOf World $0.36M
  • Total $10.8M -₹95.7 Crores

Kantara Chapter 1 needs to collect more than $15M to break even overseas. The film has to perform much bigger in the coming days to reach the target.

Surprisingly, the movie performed well in other overseas territories except North America, where the weak Hindi numbers are not at expected levels. The underperformance has affected its overall numbers.

Coming to India’s performance, the Kantara prequel can utilize the Diwali advantage in the next week to boost its collections.  

The Magic of 9 in Tollywood

The Magic of 9 in Tollywood

In the film industry, there are certain sentiments that the filmmakers or heroes follow compulsorily. The ‘9’ sentiment is continuously going around in Tollywood business circles. Whenever the makers quote or distributors offer prices, they aim to bring the total count to 9.

For example, Chiranjeevi’s film, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu Andhra, has a ratio of ₹63 Cr → 6 + 3 = 9, while Balakrishna’s Akhanda 2 Andhra has a ratio of ₹54 Cr → 5 + 4 = 9.

Not only for business, but also for other things, such as promotions, the Tollywood producers or movie follow the 9 sentiments.

Which is why, if you observe, almost all updates of Telugu movies, be they big movies or small movies, come at 4:05 PM, 5:04 PM, 11:07 AM, 6:03 PM, or something like that.

As far as the cinegoers remember, this particular sentiment got popular with the ultimate Sankranthi-2020 clash between Mahesh Babu’s Sarileru Neekevvaru and Allu Arjun’s Ala Vaikunthapuramulo.

Yellamma Faces Back-to-Back Exits

Popular comedian Venu became a director with Balagam and received a unanimous positive reception. He signed his next film under his first film’s producer, Dil Raju. Titled Yellamma, the film faces back-to-back exits of heroes.

Reportedly, much like Balagam, Venu Yeldandi penned a rooted story with his second film, Yellamma, which was initially planned with Nani and even officially announced, but due to continuous commitments of the actor, such as The Paradise and Sujeeth’s film, Nani exited from this project.

Venu’s Journey with Yellamma’s Leads: Nani-Nithin and now Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas

Also, it was said that Nani only suggested Nithin to do the film, and it was almost set to go on the floors, but Nithin is not doing this project due to the budget and other reasons.

Now there is news that Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas is selected as the hero by the team, and we have to wait till the official confirmation comes and see whether Yellamma gets a hero after back-to-back exits

Chiranjeevi Still a Step Ahead of Balakrishna

Chiranjeevi Still a Step Ahead of Balakrishna

Chiranjeevi retired as a no. 1 hero for Tollywood before joining politics, and even after the comeback, he started his second journey with the Non-Baahubali Industry Hit Khaidi No. 150. However, he could not catch up with the present top heroes thereafter, but still, Chiranjeevi is a step ahead of Balakrishna. 

After Khaidi No. 150, Chiru could not win the race with this generation of heroes as they went towards pan-India markets, and most of them grabbed that big market as well.

At the same time, Chiranjeevi had a mixed journey at the box office in recent years, and his last film, Bhola Shankar, was a colossal disaster, whereas his competitor Balakrishna has had a golden phase at the box office.

Chiranjeevi’s Film does more business than Balakrishna’s Film

But even at this phase, Chiranjeevi is a step ahead of Balakrishna in terms of business. Balakrishna’s next film, Akhanda 2, is having a record business in his career. The total worldwide theatrical rights are likely to be around 130 Cr.

Coming to Chiranjeevi’s Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, the film’s business is much more than Balakrishna and Boyapati Sreenu’s crazy sequel, and the film is expected to close at around 165 Cr, which is 25% higher than Akhanda 2.

We need to wait and see to know which film can collect more in the two movies, but after the comeback, Chiranjeevi could not become the no. 1 hero, he is still competing with his peers.

Dasara Quiet, Diwali Hope for Akhanda 2

Akhanda 2 is the next biggie from Tollywood, slated for a 5th December release. Until now, the film’s unit released a short glimpse on Balakrishna’s birthday; after that, there has been no update. 

Fans expected a teaser or first single on Dasara, but the makers just released a poster, which disappointed them a lot. 

Now, the fans and audiences are also expecting an update from Akhanda 2 for Diwali. There is buzz that the first single might arrive for this Diwali, and definitely the team has to come up with some update, as it is less than 2 months until the film’s release.

The Akhanda sequel’s team is also planning for a pan-India release, so the film needs to release promotional content continuously to bring the craze among audiences.

Kantara Chapter 1 Box Office: 11 Days Collections

Rishab Shetty’s Kantara Chapter 1 has gathered massive numbers at the box office, and the film’s worldwide collections in 11 days are out now. The film is expected to get solid numbers during the Diwali festival.

Kantara Chapter 1: 11 Days of Gross Collections

Karnataka: 167 Cr
North India: 168 Cr
Telugu States: 88 Cr
Tamil Nadu: 48 Cr
Kerala: 43 Cr
Overseas: 94 Cr

Overall, for 11 days, Kantara Chapter 1 has collected a 608 Cr gross worldwide, and it became the 2nd film to cross over 600 Cr gross this year after Chhaava, the 2nd 600 Cr film for sandalwood after KGF 2.

The spiritual action drama broke many records at the box office, and especially in Karnataka, it has become an extraordinary and record-breaking blockbuster and is on course to become the first-ever 200 Cr grosser in its homeland.

Idli Kadai vs Raayan: Big Gap at Box Office

Idli Kadai vs Raayan: Big Gap at Box Office

Idli Kadai and Raayan are both films directed by Dhanush. Raayan is the biggest grosser for Dhanush with 150 Cr in gross collections at the worldwide box office, whereas Idli Kadai is not performing at that level, and it is getting only average numbers.

The main reason is the dominance of Kantara Chapter 1. The film becomes the no. 1 preference for Tamil audiences, and they are interested in watching it on screen.

There were initial expectations that Idli Kadai would do a 100 Cr gross at the box office, as it opened with unanimous positive reviews in Tamil. But for 11 days, the film has collected around 68 Cr gross, which indicates around 75 Cr closing. 

Dhanush’s Idli Kadai fails to match Raayan’s performance at the box office

In that way, Idli Kadai has gathered just half of the collections from Raayan, which is a disappointing performance.

Though Idli Kottu is a safe venture in Tamil for its budget, in terms of numbers, it is definitely an average performer at the box office.

Every Prabhas Film Now A Franchise

Post the Baahubali series, Prabhas has created a solid image among audiences across languages in Indian cinema as a Pan-India hero. His films promise big-ticket experiences for audiences, and if we observe, now every upcoming film of Prabhas is a franchise film. 

Salaar and Kalki 2898 AD are the last releases of the Baahubali actor, and neither is a standalone film with a sequel announced. His ongoing films are also turning into a franchise. 

The Raja Saab producer, Vishwa Prasad, already announced that they are in talks for a franchise, and if the movie succeeds, there will be multiple parts for the film. Hanu Raghavapudi is making Fauji with Prabhas, and there is buzz that it is also turning into a multipart film. 

HanuMan director Prasanth Varma is also said to have plans of linking his movie with PVCU. So, if we observe, every upcoming film of Prabhas is turning into a franchise film.

Not only is this true for Prabhas, but most of the heroes are now doing franchise films only.
