Baahubali: The Epic, directed by SS Rajamouli, made a grand entry into the world of cinema, grossing impressive numbers during its opening weekend. However, like most big-budget films, it faced a noticeable dip in its box office collections on the first Monday. While the film made history during its opening days, the real test for its sustainability at the box office came on Day 4.
How much did SS Rajamouli’s epic earn?
According to the trade website Sacnilk, Baahubali: The Epic earned Rs 1.35 crore net on its first Monday in India, bringing its total domestic collection to Rs 25.7 crore. The film had a solid start, earning Rs 1.15 crore from premieres on Thursday and Rs 9.65 crore on Friday. Over the weekend, it continued to perform well, making Rs 7.25 crore on Saturday and Rs 6.3 crore on Sunday. However, the Monday collection showed a sharp drop, as expected, following the weekend rush.
Why the dip on Monday?
A decline in box office earnings after the weekend is a common trend for large-scale films, especially on weekdays. Audience footfall decreases after the initial hype, and the first Monday tends to see a reduction in collections. However, despite the drop, the film’s overall numbers remain solid, and it’s too early to predict how the film will fare in the long run. The success of the film in the upcoming weekdays will largely depend on sustained word-of-mouth and audience interest.
