MUMBAI: Ormax India’s Box Office Report noted that September 2024 marked a good month at the India Box Office with â Rs. 1,066 Crores in gross collections, driven largely by ‘Devara Part – 1’ and ‘The Greatest Of All Time’.
The Other Things To Note Are:
– Films that released in September 2024 grossed at the domestic box office, making it the third-best month at the Indian Box Office so far this year. With a combined share of nearly 60%, ‘Devara Part – 1’ and ‘The Greatest Of All Time’ dominated the month, with no other film touching the Rs. 100 Crores mark, and only the Malayalam film ‘A.R.M’ crossing ₹50 Crores.
– The cumulative box office for Jan-Sept releases stands at Rs. 7,949 Cr, which is 9.5% below the same period in 2023.
– ‘Devara Part – 1’ emerged as the top-grossing film of the month, ahead of ‘The Greatest Of All Time’. The success of both these films has been driven largely by their strong box office performance in their respective home states.
– ‘Tumbbad’ emerged as the highest grossing re-release of all time at the India Box Office, surpassing the collections of the Tamil film ‘Ghilli’, which grossed Rs. 26 crores upon its re-release in April this year. Tumbbad’s re-release collections are more than twice those of its original release.
– As of September 2024, four out of the top 10 films of the year come from Telugu cinema. ‘Devara Part – 1’ becomes the latest addition to this list, which also has Kalki 2898 AD, Hanu-Man, and Guntur Kaaram in it.
– The language share of Telugu and Tamil has increased this month by two percentage points each, owing to the box office performance of ‘Devara Part – 1’ and ‘The Greatest Of All Time’ respectively. Hindi’s language share has gone down from 40% last month (Jan-Aug) to 37% this month (Jan-Sep), owing to a weak month at the box office, where the holdover August release ‘Stree 2’ dominated.
