Game Changer release might face legal hurdles from
Indian 3 makers. Reason is that Director Shankar is asking Rs 60 cr for doing a
reshoot and a new song for the Kamal Haasan film. As per sources, trade reports
after seeing Game Changer has said that first half is good and second half
excellent. The film screened in Chennai has given a top notch rating. Given
this , Game Changer ( GC) will be another Pushpa 2. In such a situation, Indian
3 coming from same Director will fetch heavy prices and so Rs 60 cr is
justified is the argument.
Lyca has more or less struck a deal for direct OTT
release. At this juncture came the suggestion that a reshoot at a budget that
does not make a hole in the pocket was possible and a theatre release be
possible. At that time, GC and Shankar were no hot property. Post Indian 2
debacle, GC had lost the sheen and audio was no great shakes.
Now with GC swinging upwards, the traction has made
Shankar realize that Lyca ill get more bucks and so he too should get a share
of the extra money. Lyca agreed to allow
Shankar to do GC on the condition that he would complete Indian franchise. Now
the opportunistic stance by Shankar has made Lyca dust up old files and
complaints filed with various trade bodies.
GC trailer has not yet hit the public and as the contents will decide whether it is ok with fans, the delay is created lot of resentment about GC makers. In Bollywood, GC is Ram Charan’s next after RRR that did Rs 275 crores. So trade says that if GC does a Rs 5 cr opening , the film has a potential to do well but less than Devara that opened with Rs 7 crore. There is no buzz over GC till date and hopefully the trailer might work,
SHOCKING!
Baby John Shows Replaced by Hindi Version Of Marco After Poor Collections;
Varun Dhawan’s Film Gets Only 4/ 275 Screens In CP Berar
Varun
Dhawan’s much-hyped film Baby John seems to have hit rock
bottom just days after its release. The film, which opened on 25 December with
a modest Rs 11.25 crore, has seen an alarming decline in collections.
By its
second day, earnings plummeted to Rs 5.13 crore, and Friday’s figures offered
no respite. With weekend predictions under Rs 30 crore, exhibitors have already
started pulling the plug on the movie.
Baby John
Shows Replaced By Hindi Version Of Marco After Poor Response
A key
exhibition source revealed to Bollywood Hungama, “The Thursday drop
confirmed to theatres that the film wouldn’t sustain over the weekend.
Consequently, cinemas nationwide began reducing its shows.”
Now, the
Hindi version of the Malayalam hit Marco has stepped in to
fill the gap. The ultra-violent film has sparked curiosity, with many viewers
comparing its intensity to the recent blockbuster Animal.
(calling the latter “child’s play” in comparison.)
Theatres
have responded to this demand by replacing Baby John with Marco and
other popular titles like Pushpa
2 and Mufasa: The Lion King.
