After a spectacular performance at the box office in its initial ten days, the momentum of Ranbir Kapoor-starrer Animal seems to be waning. The film is set to witness a substantial drop on Wednesday with a collection of Rs 6.22 crore, according to early estimates posted at 6 pm by industry tracker Sacnilk. This bring its total domestic earnings to Rs 464.06 crore.
Animal dominated the box office until Sunday, amassing an impressive Rs 36 crore on that day. However, the Sandeep Reddy Vanga directorial has experienced a continuous decline in its earnings since then. The film saw a 61 per cent drop on Monday (Rs 13.85 crore), followed by an eight percent dip on Tuesday (Rs 12.72 crore). Globally, the film has garnered Rs 757.73 crore.
Despite receiving mixed reviews, Animal has emerged as the third-highest-grossing Indian film of the year, trailing behind Pathaan and Jawan, both surpassing the Rs 1000 crore mark globally. The film stands as the biggest A-rated movie in history and the most successful film in Ranbir Kapoor’s career, surpassing his previous top-grosser, 2018’s Sanju, which earned around Rs 590 crore worldwide.
Animal, which faced criticism for glorifying toxic masculinity and excessive violence, clashed with Vicky Kaushal and Meghna Gulzar’s Sam Bahadur. The film is set to face fresh competition from Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki, which will hit screens on December 21, and Prabhas’ Salaar, slated for release on December 22.
