Rocky Rani’s Overseas Box Office Soars on Second Friday

Rocky Rani's
  • The Bollywood romantic comedy family drama film, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, directed by Karan Johar.
  • He has shown remarkable staying power at the international box office during its second week.
  • Despite losing some key screening locations, the film admirably overcame the hurdles.

The Bollywood romantic comedy family drama film, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, directed by Karan Johar, has shown remarkable staying power at the international box office during its second week. After grossing an impressive USD 7 million in its first week, the film is still posting sensational numbers on its second Friday.

In Australia, despite facing setbacks on the distribution front, the film managed to gross AUD 91,000 on its second Friday, marking a mere 20 percent drop from the previous week’s earnings of AUD 112,000. This achievement is noteworthy, considering the film lost 40 percent of its screening locations in the second week. During the first week, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani had limited showcasing but recorded high occupancies and boasted the third-highest per-screen average among the top ten films with AUD 4,867. Despite losing some key screening locations, the film admirably overcame the hurdles. However, the number of available showings remains disappointingly low, even though advance sales for tomorrow are astonishing.

On the other side of the globe, in North America, the film experienced a similar trend. Despite losing a significant number of screens in the second week, the second Friday started only 10 percent below last week’s earnings. Had the film been showcased normally, it would have looked to gross USD 400,000 plus, compared to last week’s USD 462,000. However, the film now faces the challenge of overcoming screening constraints. Even if it manages to reach around USD 350,000, it would still be an incredible hold.

Let’s take a look at the comparison between the first and second Friday earnings of Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani in some territories:

Australia

  • First Friday: AUD 112,000
  • Second Friday: AUD 90,000 (-20%)

Singapore

  • First Friday: S$20,000 approx
  • Second Friday: S$28,000 approx (+40%)

North America

  • First Friday: USD 462,000
  • Second Friday: USD 400,000 expected (-13%)

Despite the challenges and reduced screening locations, the film’s second-week performance in some territories has been quite impressive, with some even seeing growth in earnings.

Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani boasts an ensemble cast including Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan, Shabana Azmi, Ranveer Singh, and Alia Bhatt. The film is produced by Dharma Productions and Viacom18 Studios.

For those interested in watching Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, it is currently showing in cinemas near you.

Don’t Worry Darling” tops the North American box office this weekend

Don't Worry Darling
  • “Don’t Worry Darling” earned an estimated $19.2 million over the weekend.
  • Sony’s “The Woman King” had ticket sales of $11.1 million.
  • James Cameron’s re-release of his smash blockbuster “Avatar” came in third.

Olivia Wilde didn’t have to worry after all, despite the commotion. According to industry analyst Exhibitor Relations, the actor/latest director’s movie “Don’t Worry Darling” earned an estimated $19.2 million over the course of the weekend in North America.

Uncertainty surrounded the impact of mixed reviews and rumours of cast friction off-screen, notably that between the director and Florence Pugh, on ticket sales.

Nevertheless, according to analyst David A. Gross of Franchise Entertainment Research, the Warner Bros. movie had “a very good start, above average for an original romantic mystery.”

Sony’s “The Woman King,” which came in first place over the past weekend, had ticket sales of $11.1 million but witnessed a 42 percent decline from its opening weekend. The history-based drama of an all-female army of African warriors starring Oscar winner Viola Davis.

James Cameron’s re-release of his smash blockbuster “Avatar” came in third. For the weekend of Friday through Sunday, the 20th Century feature brought in an estimated $10 million, the majority of it on large Imax screens.

Gross called that only a “decent” start, but he pointed out that the movie had a sluggish start in 2009 before breaking all previous records with $2.8 billion in worldwide ticket sales.

The studio is hoping that the re-release would generate enough interest to counteract the highly anticipated sequel “Avatar: The Way of Waterenormous “‘s $250 million budget, which is planned to premiere in December.

“Barbarian,” another movie from the 20th Century, came in fourth place with $4.8 million. Bill Skarsgard and Georgina Campbell are the movie’s stars.

The bloody horror movie “Pearl” from A24 came in at number five with $1.9 million. Starring Mia Goth.

Rounding out the top 10 were:

“See How They Run” ($1.9 million)

“Bullet Train” ($1.8 million)

“DC League of Super-Pets” ($1.8 million)

“Top Gun: Maverick” ($1.6 million)

“Minions: The Rise of Gru” ($1 million)..AFP

Bitcoin miners in Texas are breaking new ground

bitcoin

Chad Harris, the CEO of Whinstone Inc., which operates North America’s largest bitcoin “mine,” recalls one of the last times Texas’ electric power crisis is now also his problem.

It was in June, and the temperature in the evening had risen to roughly 94 degrees, significantly higher than the state’s average for that time of year.

Texans were cranking up their air conditioning, putting a strain on the state’s grid, which had already failed for days during a cold spell in February, was exhausting.

“We just got a text saying, The power grid needs support. Please curtail now,’ ” Harris said while standing outside the company’s mining center at an old Alcoa aluminum facility about six miles outside this Central Texas town.

Instantly, Whinstone’s system went offline. The tens of thousands of computer servers that spin away generating bitcoin inside three long buildings simply stopped. “With the flip of a switch, we turned this off,” Harris said.
