Box Office: Understanding the Economics of Kalank and why it is not a big loss-making venture for its makers

The Abhishek Varman directed film Kalankreleased last week on Wednesday. However despite featuring an all-star cast of Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt, Sanjay Dutt, Madhuri Dixit, Sonakshi Sinha and Aditya Roy Kapur coupled with an extended five day weekend and a massive 4000 screen count Kalank severely under performed at the box office.

In this box office analysis we take a look at the economics of Kalank to understand the film’s profitability for its makers. Not surprisingly, Kalank that boasted of lavish visuals was made on a grand scale with the total budget of Rs. 150 cr [Cost of Production Rs. 130 cr + Print & Advertising Rs, 20 cr]. However, despite the hype surrounding the film, Kalank managed to draw in Rs. 78.98 cr at the India box office of which Rs. 35.54 cr is what the makers earned. This box office earning coupled with Rs. 21.06 cr coming in from the overseas markets as distributors share and Rs. 90 cr coming from the sale of the film’s Satellite, Music and Digital rights the makers of Kalank earned a total of Rs. 146.60 cr.

This earning of Rs. 146.60 cr which juxtaposed with the initial investment of Rs. 150 cr has let the makers of Kalank down. In fact, due to Kalank’s underperformance the makers of the film have lost Rs. 3.40 cr, with a -2.27% negative Return on Investment (RoI).Economics of KalankCost Of Production (A) - 130 Cr.

Movie I think is still a flop since BO verdict depends on distribution cost! ... Producers recover their budget, it's distributors who end up losing ... Hence verdict depends on distribution costs!

It was never a loss to the producers. The distributors and exhibitors needed 150 cr to break even which they clearly didn’t earn if this article only claims that it earned 80cr net box office domestic collections.

Kalank's Satellite Rights, Music and Digital - 90 crores? Isn't that too much for a 150 crore budget movie?
