My Box Office Predictions for Raees - Page 5

Now even Raees' producer figures are a lot more than BOI, like Kaabil. 😕

Raees Official Figures: Wed 20.42, Thu 26.30, Fri 13.11, Sat 15.61, Sun 17.80, Mon 8.25, Tue 7.52. Grand Total 109.01 cr.

BOI: Raees was low on Tuesday with collections around 5.25 crore.

Maybe solo releases would have helped both the movies to add another 10-15 Crs!

Yes, I'm not sure of how many crores they would've gotten benefit, but definitely they would've benefited by releasing solo! It was a very poor decision from both parties to clash in a month like January...

Have the same question as Pallavi

@pallavi25 and @-DZ-, An idea of where a film's lifetime collections are heading can be determined within a week or two after the film's release, especially when the collections of the film start dropping, as it happened with Raees due to its mixed public WOM (Word of Mouth). With the collections of the film dropping, it became quite apparent that the film would end up finishing its run with collections around the 130 crore mark, which is why BOI has given it's Semi Hit verdict. The verdict given by the different trade sources/analysts will vary, some will declare the film a Hit, others will say Semi-Hit.

The budget of the film was approximately 92 crore, and the producers have generated revenue of 175 crore for a profit of 83 crore (175-92=83), through the sale of the film to distributors, satellite rights, music rights, and overseas revenue. However, the price at which the Indian distributors bought the film was approximately 65-70 crore, and to recover that money, the film needed to collect in the 130-140 crore range

Bobby - So producers sell the movie lower than budget to Distributors because they can generate revenue from other sources like Satellite rights?
This is very interesting to know.
Why don't producers sell movie to Distributors at a price that will definitely get them a Hit tag? Perhaps they are greedy to get a share at ticket window !!
Had Raees been sold to Distributors at 50 cr, it would have been a Hit.

So a Hit tag is a business result and has nothing to do with public acceptance or rejection of a movie ?

Sorry I am just thinking aloud .

Thanks a lot Bobby
It was helpful indeed
