Shankar’s next film, Game Changer with Ram Charan and Kiara Advani, will be out in theatres on the 10th of January, which falls during the Sankranthi season. The film has already generated anticipation; advance bookings for the film have crossed ₹13.87 crore in India, according to an industry source. More than 4 lakh tickets have already been sold for over 10,800 shows across the world, which are clear indications of the waiting to watch the movie.
As far as advance bookings are concerned, the film has minted good business in the South Indian states. The States included Game Changer has received ₹7.52 crore in Andhra Pradesh and ₹3.3 crore in Telangana. Tamil Nadu alone has collected ₹ 59.01 Lakh, and Karnataka has got ₹1.06 Crore from advance bookings, Kerala ₹2.6 Lakh.
In comparison, Shankar’s last release, Indian 2, had ₹10.98 crore in advance booking, and Ram Charan’s Acharya with Chiranjeevi ₹15.75 crore in advance booking. Nevertheless, the numbers of Game Changer clearly show that it is on its way to passing these numbers, and its initial sales look very promising.
In terms of the regional theatrical business, Game Changer has attained a great organic value in both Andhra Pradesh & Telangana regions has attained great values of ₹ 122 crore, where ₹ 43 crore came from the Nizam area. The film has also obtained a special exemption to sell the tickets at even higher prices as well as to allow the show to start at 1 AM in Andhra Pradesh and 4 AM in Telangana. To turn into the break-even figures, the film required a gross collection of ₹225 crore in these states.
In other areas, it has taken ₹14 crores in Karnataka, ₹15 crores in Tamil Nadu, ₹2 crores in Kerala, ₹42 crores in the hindi speaking belt, and ₹25 crores overseas. However, in eradicating its box-office failure, Game Changer will have to earn more than ₹425 crore globally. Because it started out strongly, it is in a position to emerge as a significant leading contender in the box–office business.
