The Death Of Robin Hood Worldwide Box Office: Budget & Break-Even Comparison (Photo Credit: YouTube) The Death of Robin Hood, starring Hugh Jackman, is nowhere to be found in the news, even though it was released this weekend.

Box Office: Steven Soderbergh’s Black Bag posts decent second weekend but remains far from profitability

Published by Parlour News

Steven Soderbergh’s spy thriller Black Bag is struggling to recoup its massive USD 50 million production cost but is holding strong at the box office. In its second weekend (March 21-23), the film took the second spot with a USD 4.4 million domestic gross, sitting right beneath debutant Snow White. The film, starring Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett in the lead roles, dropped 42.1 percent from its opening weekend, taking its home market tally to USD 15 million. With another USD 9 million from overseas markets, Black Bag’s global haul as of this writing stands at USD 24 million. Interestingly, the film is Soderbergh’s highest-rated outing, boasting a 97% fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes. For those unversed, the film follows George Woodhouse (Fassbender), a British intelligence officer who is given one week by his superior to investigate the leak of a top-secret software program, Severus. The catch, though, is that the wrongdoer could be his wife, portrayed by Blanchett. Marisa Abela, Tom Burke, Naomie Harris, Regé-Jean Page, and Pierce Brosnan also star in the production.

He also told them that the district administration will provide all possible assistance for the cultivation of millet and the establishment of millet processing units in the district. “We are witnessing a lack of rainfall these days. This indicates that we cannot opt for crops requiring more water. Farmers need to change their cropping patterns in view of the changing weather and rainfall patterns. Millet cultivation is one of the best alternatives as it requires minimum water. Farmers in the Tungabhadra Command area are traditionally paddy growers by heavily depending on the river water.

After a decent opening week that collected 11.5 crore nett in India, the film’s box office performance saw fluctuations in its second week. Read on! The first half of the week witnessed a significant drop. The second Friday saw a steep decline of 30.77% compared to the first Friday, bringing in only 0.45 crore. However, Manamey showed signs of life over the weekend, with collections bouncing back by over 66% on Saturday (0.75 crore) and a further 33% on Sunday (1 crore).

Turbo Worldwide Box Office Day 13: Mammootty’s Actioner Stutters In Week Two, Hits Brakes On Profitability ( Photo Credit – Instagram ) Mammootty’s action-packed Malayalam film Turbo, directed by Vysakh, has hit a rough patch at the box office. After a promising opening week, the film’s collections have dipped significantly in the second week, raising concerns about its ability to recover its reported budget of 70 crores. As of Day 13, Turbo has garnered a net total of 30.75 crore in India (0.62 crore on Monday and 0.53 crore on Tuesday), with a worldwide gross reaching 67.28 crore after adding a decent overseas collection of 31 crore. However, this falls short of what’s needed for profitability. This trend might reflect audience preferences in 2024. Moviegoers seem to be favouring content-driven stories over formulaic masala entertainers. Films like Manjummel Boys (142 crore) and Aadujeevitham (85.17 crore) have garnered significant success, showcasing the audience’s appetite for strong narratives. Turbo, on the other hand, is a classic masala entertainer—a genre that seems to be losing its grip on …
