1) Why NETT collections are considered instead of GROSS in Bollywood??

2) Why Domestic collections are given more importance than Worldwide collections

3) I heard that from 2002-12, recession period was going on in Bollywood. Why it happened so??

4) what are the lifetime collections of Avatar in India. I read somewhere that it collected 99 crores nett in India, which is kinda unbelievable as it was released in 2009. Did it really do such huge business in India

Film

Production Cost = 30 Cr

Promotion & Advertising (P&A) = 15 Cr

Distributor purchase film = 35 Cr

Distributor spends that above P&A also, so budget becomes = 50 Cr

How Film is SOLD / PURCHASED?

This is based on few model of business:

1. Producer can sell whole film's ALL INDIA/OS Rights to Single Distributor @ price.

2. When Distributor gets it, he can Distribute on his own All over, or he can sell few circuits to 3rd party.

3. Now in this SATELLITE RIGHTS, MUSIC RIGHTS, VIDEO RIGHTS also come, some more things.

4. If any DISTRIBUTOR Purchased whole package means Every RIGHT, he will sell it as per their company wish.

You must be hearing 500 Cr deal, 1000 Cr deal for Salman, Hrithik, Ajay for their TV Satellite rights. That is combine deal for 10 films.

A film made on 70 Cr project by producer, he will see RETURN OF INVESTMENT.

This comes from THEATRICAL BUSINESS, Overseas, TV, VIDEO, MUSIC etc. etc.

While analyzing BOX OFFICE of film, we only pick INDIA THEATRICAL BUSINESS, whatever it earns from that section is HIT or FLOP, nothing else matters.

A Flying Jatt is SUPERHIT on TV, in Cinema it was FLOP, so should we change it's verdict? Nahi.

HAHK = 713 Cr

BAHUBALI 2 = 505 Cr

You need to take 2 more janam to witness any film coming close to Salman's HAHK 😆

GROSS Collections = Actual TICKET SOLD

NETT = Gross - E.Tax

This concept was coined by BOI only in INDIA else everywhere else we have GROSS. One reason can be coz of E.TAX exisiting in INDIA more than other countries.

I also believe GROSS should be parameter for Judging film, nothing else.

2) Answered in previous post, u can check it.

3) No recession, but a TRANSITION Period was going on, From SINGLE SCREENS to MULTIPLEX, situation was worse before Wanted for Single Screens, almost came at the verge of closing, wanted LIGHT UP the business. Producer & Cinema owners (Exhibitors) were not having any agreement on PROFIT Sharing, finally they came in sync later on.

op Ten All Time Hollywood Grossers In India

Thursday 28 April 2016 11.30 IST

Box Office India Trade Network

The Jungle Book has emerged as the top Hollywood film In India by leaps and bounds as it seems to be heading for 170 crore nett business. Below are the top ten grossing Hollywood releases in India. All figures are for all versions and figures are NETT.

1. The Jungle Book (2016) - 150 crore apprx (13 days)

2. Fast & Furious 7 (2015) - 97.86 crore

3. Jurassic World (2015) - 90.62 crore

4. Avengers - Age Of Ultron (2015) - 76.48 crore

5. 2012 (2009) - 63.66 crore

6. Life Of Pi (2012) - 61.19 crore

7. Amazing Spiderman 2 (2014) - 57.82 crore

8. Avatar (2009) - 57.04 crore

9. Mission Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015) - 54.30 crore

10. Amazing Spiderman (2012) - 53.24 crore

There are around 3-4 more Hollywood releases which have hit the 50 crore nett mark but that still means less than 15 Hollywood releases have hit the 50 crore nett mark. The biggest hits of the lot above are The Jungle Book, 2012 and Fast & Furious 7 and the difference with these three films and the others is the huge contribution from the dubbed versions.

There are 3 Parts of any FILM's Success especially ALL TIME GROSSERS, which Aamir is leading in Total no.

NETT

GROSS

DISTRIBUTOR SHARE = Nett & Circuit Share.

Aamir films have been ATG having Highest NETT/GROSS only, when it comes to SHARE area, they are pretty much LOW, to that much extent that Salman's lowest earner this decade are even bigger than Aamir's ATG in Circuit Share tables.

So till the time, Aamir SWEEPS in every area, like HAHK (Salman's ATG) in all 3 parts & give 1 SOLID ATG, Salman will be ahead of him in Overall comparison.
