Animal Box Office collection Day 19: Ranbir Kapoor’s movie mints ₹843 crore, to face competition from SRK’s Dunki
Animal’s total earnings now stand at a staggering ₹522.94 crore nett in the domestic market after Day 19. This is the first Ranbir Kapoor movie to mint over ₹500 crore in India. The same goes for director Sandeep Reddy Vanga and actor Rashmika Mandana.
Rashmika’s earlier blockbuster Pushpa, made with ₹150 crore, earned ₹267.55 crore in India. Vanga’s Hindi debut Kabir Singh, made with ₹55 crore, earned ₹278.80 crore in the domestic market. Animal is the fourth Indian movie to enter the ₹500-crore club in 2023.
The other movies are Gadar 2, Pathaan and Jawan. In its first week, Animal amassed ₹337.58 crore, with the Hindi version contributing ₹300.81 crore. The second week saw a collection of ₹139.26 crore, with the Hindi version still leading at ₹130.73 crore.
The third Friday (Day 15) brought in ₹8.3 crore, a slight dip of 5.14% from the previous day. Day 16, the third Saturday, saw a significant jump with ₹12.8 crore, marking a 54.22% increase. On its third Sunday (Day 17), the film earned ₹14.5 crore, a 13.28% increase from the previous day.
Day 18, the third Monday, saw a collection of ₹5.5 crore, with a decrease of 62.07%. The early estimates for Day 19 (third Tuesday) indicate earnings of around ₹5 crore. Overall, the Bollywood movie has achieved a worldwide gross of ₹843 crore, including a domestic gross of ₹617.55 crore and an overseas gross of ₹225.45 crore.
Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki, directed by Rajkumar Hirani, will be released on December 21. So, December 20 (Day 20) will probably be Animal’s final chance to earn big. Hirani’s next, a family entertainer, is expected to draw more viewers to theatres.
