Star Wars Turns to a ‘Baby Yoda’ Puppet to Break Its Box-Office Funk

Star Wars Turns to a ‘Baby Yoda’ Puppet to Break Its Box-Office Funk

The breakout star of the celebrity summer-movie circuit is a wrinkly green puppet. The seemingly autonomous star, which stands 14-and-a-half inches tall, is actually a new-and-improved model of the various puppets used in “The Mandalorian and Grogu.” At a time when the entertainment world is stuffed with hyper-realistic digital effects and generative AI can conjure most anything from thin air, Disney has put one of its most important franchises on the shoulders of a tiny analog creation. The knee-high space creature—known as Grogu, Baby Yoda or just, as his human minders often call him, “the baby”—is a main character in the first Star Wars movie to hit theaters in nearly seven years, “The Mandalorian and Grogu.” The character first made a splash in a Disney+ TV series more than six years ago. But if his command of the red carpet lately is any indicator, the kid has staying power. An animatronic puppet has been trotted out like a real-life celebrity in advance of the movie’s Friday opening, putting Grogu’s high-tech internal machinery—and the puppeteers operating …

On Day 1, Michael collected a net of Rs 3.80 Cr across 3,029 shows. This brings total India gross collections to Rs 6.60 Cr and total India net collections to Rs 5.50 Cr so far. While On Day 1, Ginny Wedss Sunny 2 collected a net of Rs 0.30 Cr across 1,199 shows. This brings total India gross collections to Rs 0.36 Cr and total India net collections to Rs 0.30 Cr so far. Ginny Wedss Sunny, a light-hearted romantic comedy, bypassed a traditional theatrical release and instead found its audience on streaming platforms. The film leaned into a familiar, feel-good narrative, relying on relatability and repeat value rather than scale. Its performance reflects how mid-budget rom-coms are increasingly positioned for digital success, where reach and longevity often outweigh theatrical metrics. In contrast, Michael arrived as a stylised action drama built for the big screen, carrying expectations of scale, intensity, and mass appeal. The film generated initial buzz for its visual tone and genre …

Actor Rakesh Bedi on Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar box-office: Now, social media makes success 1000x, it’s tough to replicate

Actor Rakesh Bedi on Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar box-office: Now, social media makes success 1000x, it’s tough to replicate

With Rakesh Bedi’s meteoric rise in Dhurandhar The Revenge, life is no more the same for the veteran actor. Actor Rakesh Bedi during his visit Lucknow to stage his solo play Massage at Bhartendu Natya Academy (BNA) golden jubilee celebration and (right) as Jameel Jamali in Dhurandhar The Revenge (Photo: Deep Saxena and X) “Need kam ho gai hai, par sukoon main dhoond leta hoon, else you won’t be able to survive. Now live interviews, podcasts, band shoots, endorsements, plays and reels – these things are taking too much of my time and I am enjoying it,” he tells HT City. The 71-year-old actor says he has had several successful phases, but this one is exceptional. “Now, the definition of success has changed. I have had similar wonderful successful phases in my life – Ek Duje Ke Liye (1981), Chashme Badoor, Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi (1984), Shrimaan Shrimati (1994) – but this is very different. We did not have social media then, but now, due to that, success grows 1000x while the negative part can …

Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, Hasee Toh Phasee join the growing list: Are re-releases a guarantee of box-office success?

Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, Hasee Toh Phasee join the growing list: Are re-releases a guarantee of box-office success?

Bollywood is increasingly turning to its past to draw audiences back to theatres. Multiplexes have witnessed a steady rise in films returning to the big screen, from cult favourites to relatively recent titles finding a second theatrical life. Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, Tere Naam and Hasee Toh Phasee In the past year alone, nearly 25 Hindi films have been re-released: Dil To Pagal Hai (1997), Band Baaja Baaraat (2010), and more recently Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety (2018) and Hasee Toh Phasee (2014). While some have generated impressive footfalls and surprising box office numbers, others have struggled. The mixed results suggest that re-releases are far from a guaranteed success formula. Films that were major hits during their original run have not always found the same enthusiasm upon returning to theatres. For instance, Ranveer Singh-Deepika Padukone-Shahid Kapoor’s Padmaavat (2018) reportedly earned only modest numbers in its recent re-release. The restored original cut of Sholay (1975) also saw limited traction. How some re-releases have fared Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani: ₹21 crore Sanam Teri Kasam : ₹41 …
