Rewind - The Divine Box Office Run of Kantara: A Legend in India
For the first seven weeks, the opening day remained the smallest day of the run. When a day finally dipped below the opening day, it was on its eighth Friday, and even then, by just a few lakhs.
On the eve of the release of Kantara: Chapter 1, here’s a throwback to the divine box office run that Kantara: A Legend had in 2022.
The Rishab Shetty starrer began as a regional film with an impressive opening day of Rs. 1.70 crore in Karnataka. What followed was nothing short of divinity, as the film gained Pan India appreciation and went on to gross Rs. 361 crore, an astonishing 212x multiple.
A contributing factor to this multiple was staggered release as the film expanded to markets outside Karnataka gradually over the following weeks, but it's safe to say that had the film been released day and date nationally, it would have managed something similar. The Hindi version, which only arrived in the third week with breakout awareness, still managed a phenomenal 70x multiple of its opening day.
Following is the day-wise collection of Kantara: A Legend in India for the first eight weeks, on each of which the film collected over a crore. For the first seven weeks, the opening day remained the smallest day of the run. When a day finally dipped below the opening day, it was on its eighth Friday, and even then, by just a few lakhs.
