Avengers: Endgame tips Baahubali off its throne in India collecting ₹1.5 billion over the weekend

<keyword id="6358210" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Dangal">Dangal</keyword> And Baahubali-2 continue to create history at the box office, globally and have disrupted the scale at which success is measured, changing the definition of a mega blockbuster by multi-fold, from Rs 200 crore to 2000 crore. Here are some interesting business and strategy lessons that <keyword id="2784442" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Co-working-spaces">co-Working spaces</keyword>, which themselves are becoming the choice of the new generation of smart workforce, can learn from these two superhits. 1. Focus on making High Quality Core Product Nothing Beats Quality, Still. One unique thing which was quite evident in both the blockbusters was the superlative script, high octane performances by the cast, top notch direction and overall a very well-crafted film that leaves you feeling inspired as well gives you full bang for your buck. While last two years saw crass comedies and run of the mill films also crossing 100 cr, both these films teach us that it's very important to get the core product which is script, acting and direction right for the end result to be of high impact. Similarly, co-working spaces, while requiring all the bells and whistles like new age fancy architecture and gadgetry, also need to get the core right i.e comfortable ergonomic seating, high speed internet, availability of conference rooms, F&amp;B, thinking space and most importantly, a curated ,well designed community and activities. The brands need to bring the best of the breed mentors, collaborations, partners and services to make the experience of co-working a delight. The workplace should be such that people look forward to coming to office to work and stay motivated to make the dent in the universe that they aspire to. 2. Right Strategic Collaborations After all Co in Co-Working is Collaboration <keyword id="6354370" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="baahubali">Baahubali</keyword> witnessed coming together of two heavyweights of Indian Motion Picture Industry, S S Rajamouli and Karan Johar, leaders in Telugu and Hindi Film Industry. By getting Karan Johar to present the movie in part 2, movie franchise deal, S S Rajamouli pulled off a major scoop by covering all the major movie markets of India between two of them like Hindi, Telugu, Tamil , &amp; Malayalam making it the biggest Pan India hit till date . Co-working spaces are an essential bridge between need and fulfillment .On one side you have a high energy, disruptive linkster and millennial workforce with demand of technology, capital, guidance and customers and on the other side, the right collaborations. An apt or prefect collaboration has to be in place to provide the necessary services, mentorship, partnerships and access to global collaborative networks to make it happen for the tenants. 3. Multiple Revenue Streams Warren Buffett, famously, said “never rely on a single source of income" Baahubali 2 have shattered all Box Office records for Indian Film Industry and look set to surpass 2000 Cr by the time you read this. Not to mention, the satellite rights for both movies smashed all records by going for a huge 75 Cr. The revenue from Music, Merchandise, Mobile games, and for a first, a spin-off Animated series on Amazon Prime, Baahubali : The Lost Legend , shows how new revenue streams can keep the cash register ringing for long. This shows importance of exploring new revenue streams for co-working spaces. Some of the trends that have already caught up with Co-working space offering is more than a seat and include things like legal, financial, professional services, software development to digital services to having branded in-house cafes, events and more. 4. Go Global Baby The World is truly Flat, Make Local, and Sell Global. Dangal Released in India and was a smash hit and could have been content with Rs 500 cr. it made in India and Rs 250 cr in Europe and Americas. But being Mr. Perfectionist , Aamir khan decided to play the Chinese checkers and as on date out of the whopping 2000 Cr gross Dangal has managed to collect around Rs 1200 cr from China only, Yes China, you read it right, a big market for Hollywood films but hitherto never exploited to its full potential by Bollywood movies .Meanwhile Baahubali 2 is also smashing domestic and overseas records with a total of around 1800 cr till date &amp; considering China’s new found fondness for Bollywood, it can easily cross Rs 2500 cr or maybe even Rs 3000 cr . This shows how global collaborations can truly change the game for Indian service providers and can scale new heights by such partnerships. Few example recent collaborations like Vikarm Solar tie up Israel’s Water-Gen and Creator’s Gurukul, collaborated with Global Leaders like F6S and Startup Grind from Europe and <keyword id="6357722" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="silicon-valley">Silicon Valley</keyword> respectively to curate a truly global experience. 5. Community Building Love Thy Neighbor These two mega hits built a clan of Fan-boys and Fan-girls giving the movies a cult status of a kind unheard in Bollywood till date. While it was rooting for women power “Mhari Choriya Chorro se kum hain ke” from Dangal to curiosity around the question that the entire Nation wanted to know” Kattapa Ne Baabhubali Ko Kyu Maara?”, whereby the marketing team hacked virality and social media, so well, that it created an entire legion of Baahubali aficionados leading to unprecedented frenzy around these movies. The shared values among the fans created a sense of togetherness and debuted a new kind of community around Bollywood films. Similarly, what differentiates a co-working space, at the most from a typical office, is that people with different strong suited, capabilities and know how help each other in the areas of weakness to achieve the respective goals. While people working out of a co-working might be from different companies, they help each other to achieve success because there is a feeling of “belongingness”, a community bond which means success for one is success for all. Globally, people take pride in calling them “We-Workers” nearly as much as a “Googler” or so ... We can soon expect co-working spaces to have the portraits of Mahendra Baahubali and Mahavir Singh Phogat to inspire the workforce and have #LikeABaahubali replace #LikeABoss . (The article is authored by Abhinav Tandon and Mohammed Sirajuddin, Co-Founders, Creator’s Gurukul)

 Considering that Avengers: Endgame is well on its way to become one of the top grossers alongside Baahubali - The Conclusion in India — both non-Bollywood films — the local film industry should be wary. For the past five years, hindi movies have ruled the screens with industry analysts citing the lack of movie screens in the country as a barrier to capacity building. But, turnout for these two films seems to void that analysis where 25% occupancy is considered to be the ideal goal. Even when Baahubali - The Conclusion broke records in India, it’s success was attributed to explosive market for South Indian movies. But, english isn’t local to any part of India, yet Avengers:Endgame prevails. The Avengers: Endgame hype in India The demand around Avengers: Endgame reached record breaking levels when the online booking portal, BookMyShow, crashed because of the surge in traffic. Even the Indian government made an exception of the movie to allow <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/avengers-endgame-ticket-prices-show-timings-24x7-india/articleshow/69042082.cms">screening around the clock</a>, something that’s never been done in India before. When booking opened last Saturday, PayTM received 250,000 requests a minute and BookMyShow saw a peek rate of 18 tickets being booked per second. For PayTM, Avengers :Endgame is the top advance-grossing movie on the platform till date.

While Telugu and Malayalam movies swept the awards and the audience, <keyword id="143" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="bollywood" source="Orion">Bollywood</keyword> delivered one dud after another. The year of 2023, however, started with <keyword id="1671" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="shah-rukh-khan" source="Orion">Shah Rukh Khan</keyword> starrer Pathaan heralding the winds of change. In less than a week of its release, Pathaan has <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/entertainment/news/srks-pathaan-sets-a-new-record-with-box-office-collection/articleshow/97366169.cms">broken multiple records</a> — and led to 25 single screens reopening in India. <a href="https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/news/box-office-special-features/pathaan-box-office-shah-rukh-khan-starrer-surpasses-kgf-2-emerges-fastest-rs-200-cr-grosser/">Reports </a>state it’s become the fastest Indian film to surpass ₹200 crore in box office collections in four days, beating even KGF 2 (five days) and Baahubali 2 (six days). However, neither is Pathaan the first film nor is SRK the first actor to leave a massive impact on an industry. Movies have long been impacting consumer choices, from fashion looks to tourism. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="From Switzerland to Spain, movies changed the landscape of tourism" comment="subhead2" text="From Switzerland to Spain, movies changed the landscape of tourism">From Switzerland to Spain, movies changed the landscape of tourism</cmsannotation> Yash Raj Films (YRF) was arguably one of the first Indian production houses to incidentally promote a country through its movies — primarily the snow-clad mountains of Switzerland. YRF’s saree-clad heroines may or may not have enjoyed dancing in the snow. Yet, tourists certainly flocked to the locations with gusto. The result — <a href="https://www.myswitzerland.com/en-in/experiences/food-wine/restaurant/restaurant-bollywood/">Restaurant Bollywood </a>at an elevation of 3,454m at Jungfraujoch in Switzerland. It has become a must-visit attraction for all tourists, especially those from India and Hindi movie lovers. A <a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Bollywood-and-Indian-tourists-come-knocking">report </a>released in 2016 also indicated that in a decade, there was a 400% rise in Indian tourists in Switzerland. They also shell out an average of $330 per person a day, compared to $192 for all tourists. The trend continued over the years, with popular films becoming mini tourism ads for the place they’re shot in — be it Singapore in Krrish; Corsica in Tamasha; or one of the most popular ones, Spain in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. After Zoya Akhtar’s Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara hit the screens, Spain became such a popular destination among Indian tourists that a <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/did-you-know-zoya-akhtars-zindagi-na-milegi-dobara-is-a-part-of-curriculum-in-spain-colleges/articleshow/92904017.cms">65%</a> increase in tourism was reported. And the film <a href="https://www.indiatoday.in/movies/bollywood/story/zindagi-na-milegi-dobara-spain-colleges-zoya-akhtar-195994-2014-06-06">became a case study </a>for a marketing management course. Similarly, after the release of Krrish, the number of Indian tourists grew from 6 million to 7 million in Singapore. Closer to home, Goa’s Chapora fort is famously regarded as the ‘Dil Chahta Hai’ fort. Even today, you’ll find tourists recreating the iconic scene from the movie — though it’s been 21 years since the film first released. “Murder 2 made the Three Kings Feast church in Cansualim famous, and St Jacinto Island’s popular because of John Abraham’s jumping off the bridge sequence in ‘Dhoom’,” shared writer and director Deepak Lobo with <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/dil-chahta-hai-fort-in-goa-shooting-for-films-in-goa/articleshow/35508306.cms">Times of India</a>. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="The two sides of every coin" comment="subhead2" text="The two sides of every coin">The two sides of every coin</cmsannotation> If Jab We Met’s Geet popularised the idea of harem pants with tops, Dil Chahta Hai’s Akash made French beards cool. In other words, from fashion trends to tourist spots, the soft power of movies can’t be ignored. But, there’s another side to it! The massive influence that celebrities and movies hold comes with a price. Like Snapchat experienced in 2018. As per <a href="https://money.cnn.com/2018/02/22/technology/snapchat-update-kylie-jenner/index.html#:~:text=Snap%20(SNAP)%20stock%20closed%20down,else%20not%20open%20Snapchat%20anymore%3F">CNN</a>, reality TV star and socialite Kylie Jenner’s tweet, “Does anyone else not open Snapchat anymore?” led to the Snap (SNAP) stock falling 6%, which wiped about $1.3 billion off the company's market value. Ladakh’s Pangong lake became a national attraction after 3 Idiots, with a ‘3 Idiots cafe’ or ‘Rancho cafe’ greeting tourists at <a href="https://www.tripoto.com/manali/trips/pangong-lake">every corner</a>. However, the jump in tourists (from 400,000 before the film to 16,00,000 in 2011, after the film) also <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/ladakhs-ecology-has-been-ruined-thanks-to-aamir-khans-3idiots/articleshow/55581434.cms">ruined </a>Ladakh’s ecology — with plastic bottles, chips wrappers, and other garbage. <div type="image" title="Litter" msid="97442335" hostid="261" sizebytes="45386"></div> After the worldwide popularity of the fantasy series Game of Thrones, Dubrovnik in Croatia saw such a rise in tourism that the city proposed <a href="https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/travel-leisure/article/2165976/mass-tourism-threatens-croatias-game-thrones-city-dubrovnik">limiting </a>the number of tourists to 4,000, lest it loses the UNESCO world heritage title. As per a <a href="https://www.hbsp.harvard.edu/product/W19120-PDF-ENG">case study </a>in Harvard Business Publishing, “The popularity of the television series led to overwhelming tourist traffic in the area. During the peak tourist season, the city now suffered from serious overcrowding. In addition, the city was at risk of losing its status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In response, the city had begun to engage in demarketing efforts.” SEE ALSO: <a target="_blank" class="c-link c-message_attachment__title_link" href="https://www.businessinsider.in/entertainment/news/srks-pathaan-sets-a-new-record-with-box-office-collection/articleshow/97366169.cms">SRK’s Pathaan sets a new record — over ₹200 crore collections in two day</a>s <a target="_blank" class="c-link c-message_attachment__title_link" href="https://www.businessinsider.in/entertainment/news/percentage-of-citizens-likely-to-visit-cinemas-increased-by-150-as-per-report/articleshow/97281514.cms">Percentage of citizens likely to visit cinemas increased by 150%: LocalCircles survey</a>
