OKKK.. So, if it earns 40 cr nett, it recovers cost.
SO, 50 cr+ earnings at box-office- Can we call it a hit?

do we all agree here?

Fox won't lose money here.

If Maddock had spent 9 crore on making, I'm sure Maddock sold this movie to Fox at 30 crore. Add promotion cost 10 - 12 crore with it. So, Fox need to make 40 crore to recover money. Fox can easily make 40 crore from this movie.

Why 30 crore? As Deepika didn't take a penny.. is sharing profit.. so they need to sell this at at least Rs. 30 crore so that they can pay Deepika 1/3rd of the profit.

30 Crore - Making charge 9 crore = 21 crore profit.

So, Deepika would get 7 crore (1/3rd of the profit)



What about satellite rights and stuff? Will that go to Maddock?

This is just the start let the film run a few days, it still got time but the opening is disappointing compared to the heavy huge promotions happening for the film!

and the excuses are really hilarious now even saying priyanka is a bigger star even going ahead and saying barfi had chartbuster music.

The truth is finding fanny is one of the biggest promoted films ever, it has got as much promotions as a Khan film gets, promoted on all shows, done city tours, done interviews, appeared on magazines, the production team the actors the director and his friends all have been going crazy promoting it on twitter and Facebook.

I won't be surprised if the promotions has cost them more than the actual budget of the production of the film. So this film has been really promoted and it can only do well because it has been hyped to the skies and promoted everywhere if it fails then it will be only because it's not a good product.

it's hilarious though to see how the same DP fans who these last few days has been putting this film on a pedestal and stating this will be DP' s year and bashed the line up of other actresses films are now creating several excuses for the opening, someone should show them the comments they made about finding fanny few days back 😆

Okay...since you seemed to pick up most of the points I made, could you please also let us know who exactly were these fans who put FFF on a pedestal and dissed other heroine's line-up? Just curious.
I have personally not been following any promotions or anything like that...just made a post based on the reviews I read and what little I know of the film. So only because, I felt that you were pointing at me, hence, I am quoting you.
I only picked up Barfi because someone else mentioned it. And at that time when Barfi released, Priyanka was a more successful star than Deepika. Isn't that correct?
Giving reasons is not equal to making excuses. Two different things.

how idiotic the producers can get to release in 800 screens in english and 100 in hindi. they should have done the opposite, no? 😲



Dubbed version can never outdo original. Homi also requested to watch the english version. I don't know why people are getting worried the film got what was expected out of it from the first show of the first day - A decent opening. The trade predicted 3 cr first day before the release.. as long as its not below 3 crs there is no need to worry or write off. I posted the same on the BO prediction thread of Fanny.

Deepika is a lil phase that will never ever have Bebo or Katrina type run

Ask Katrina to step outside her comfort zone and do such a different movie without a Khan. Then we will know who is the actual phase.😆
...

OT- Fantastic reviews plus a decent opening for such a movie is all anyone could ask for! Keep rocking DP!<3

That'd mean a semi-hit at max, i guess.

Nett means gross collection minus tax. A sizable chunk goes to theater owners hence we don't see some films being declared hit though nett collection overtakes budget,

Queen had 15 cr budget but only got HIT status despite 60 cr nett.

Edit: 20 cr more than what's it sold for should give clean hit status. That's what happened with Holiday.

As per trade articles 800 screens for English and 100 for Hindi dubbed version. The big difference is a big reason for it being considered an english film mainly. The hindi dub can dilute the effect that can be their reason for putting up less for the dubbed version. Film is any way targeted at a section that goes for plexes for hollywood, rom-coms and offbeat hindi films. It depends on them if they reject it then it'll be a big failure.


I don't know every single Deepika fan can't answer that but the young fans and hardcore ones probably will.

😕


@ bold: You are right.

Hindi dubbed one is doing poor business, anyway (According to the report posted on page one)


@ green: Young-college-going ones are the main theater going audience in India. So, the loyal fans would watch it. If not FDFS then on weekdays. So, the movie is expected to make a decent sum.

i was thinking the same. To be hit, i guess it has to earn around 70 cr+. looks difficult
