Baby John Collection: Varun’s ‘Baby John’ had a good start on the opening day, but was overshadowed by 21 day old ‘Pushpa 2’ – baby john collection day 1 varun dhawan mass action film earns in double digit but pushpa 2 rules on box office

Varun Dhawan’s first mass action entertainer ‘Baby John’ is the last big Bollywood release of the year 2024. There was decent advance booking of the film before its release. There was a lot of emphasis on spot booking and on the opening day it did what was expected. Made under the direction of Kalis, this film has made a good start by doing double digit business on the first day. However, it is interesting that the all-time blockbuster ‘Pushpa 2’ is ahead of ‘Baby John’ on Wednesday even after being 21 days old. Wednesday of Christmas holidays was special for the box office. Be it ‘Pushpa 2’, ‘Mufasa: The Lion King’ or the new release ‘Baby John’, all three films were loved by the audience on 25th December. But when it came to showering the most love, surely Allu Arjun’s film has got the most love. Despite the new release, ‘Baby John’ has been slightly harmed by already strong films like ‘Pushpa 2’ and ‘Mufasa’.

‘Baby John’ Collection Day 1

According to the report of sacnilk, ‘Baby John’ has made a net collection of Rs 12.50 crore in the country on the opening day. Before release, it had earned Rs 3.52 crore from advance booking. Obviously the earnings from spot booking have increased. One reason for this was that the film got only three days time for advance booking.

That’s why the earnings decreased, ‘Baby John’ could not take advantage of the opportunity.

However, being a mass movie, action film and a holiday release, ‘Baby John’ could have earned more on the first day. But this did not happen. The reason for this is that after the morning and day shows, there was not much increase in the number of viewers in the evening and night shows. The reason is that the film has received mixed response from the audience. In such a situation, when the initial word of mouth is mixed, it is difficult to challenge a strong film like ‘Pushpa 2’.

‘Baby John’ budget, there is opportunity ahead too

The budget of ‘Baby John’ is Rs 185 crore. This is not much compared to today’s times. In such a situation, the film still has a chance because it has got an extended first weekend of five days. People will definitely be a little busy due to New Year’s Eve, but if the film attracts those audiences who do not have any plans with friends and family, then it can move forward on the path of becoming a hit in the coming days.

‘Pushpa 2’ became the audience’s first choice on Christmas

On Christmas day, Allu Arjun’s mega-blockbuster ‘Pushpa 2 – The Rule’ again remained the first choice of the audience at the Hindi box office. On the 21st day of its release, it has collected a net of Rs 15.00 crore from the Hindi version. Whereas including all the five languages, it has done a business of Rs 19.75 crore on Wednesday. Now, the way ‘Baby John’ has received a response, there is no sign of any decline in the earnings of ‘Pushpa 2’ in the future.
