You Asked FOR it

Q. I read at a website that Tubelight made good profits for its producers so the distributors losses that the film suffered do not matter. How true is this analysis?

A. Every movie especially the big ones are either sold to individual distributors or corporate where the producer makes heavy profit. So giving a verdict based on producer profit is stupidity of the highest order. Then films like Kites and Ra.one should get blockbuster verdicts as they made 60-100 cr profit for their producers which is almost 100% profit compared to their budget. The verdicts of Box office is decided by the share that the distributors get from the theatrical run of a film which is typically 50% of the nett collections. Tubelight has netted around 118 cr which gives a DS of around 60 cr against selling price of 132 crores. Its losses are in the range of  72 crores and this is just the losses for Indian distributors. If you count overseas, the losses go to the north of 100 crores which was the budget of a Bombay velvet. To put things in perspective, Tubelight is the mother of all disasters. Regarding the website you are talking about, it is BoxOfficeIndia which is a KHan pr blog probably run by D company. We suggest you to go by Indian sources.

Q. What is the Box Office verdict of Kaabil and its cost as i read somwhere that its cost was 87cr?

A. Kaabil budget is 35 crores and it was sold at an all India price of 50 crores. It made 67 cr DS in India and was a Hit at the Box Office. 87 crore figure is a fictitious number spread by the Khan PR blog BoxOfficeIndia.com which is a D company funded website. It has no Indian source or authenticity and is there to run a propaganda for khans. As per that site, the cost of Krrish 3 = Kaabil.

Q. What is the correct method to give Box office verdict. Should it be Lifetime collections?

A. Box Office verdict is only about ROI. ROI of the distributors. Lifetime collections have no meaning unless backed by its costs. For example an ADHM doing 100 cr is a hit while Tubelight doing 118 cr is a disaster. Its all about ROI.
