Thanks to the Independence Day holiday effect, the opening weekend collections of these three movies zoomed to ₹390 crore — the best the industry has seen in a long time. “August looks promising,” says a research report by Nuvama, adding that strong footfalls are likely for extended days given more holidays and pent-up demand for the sequel of Gadar and Jailer. The good times for movie theatres started in July itself starting with the mega success of Barbenheimer. Karan Johar’s Rocky aur Rani ki Prem Kahani and Tom Cruise’s Mission Impossible- Dead Reckoning Part One — added to the collections as the much needed footfalls inched higher. While Sunny Deol and Rajnikanth movies charged up the single screens across the nation, Christopher Nolan’s atom bomb magnum opus Oppenheimer brought the shine back to IMAX. “Oppenheimer scored the biggest IMAX opening weekend ever in a diverse collection of markets including India. As he has done throughout his career, Christopher Nolan pushed the boundaries of IMAX technology to deliver unforgettable storytelling with Oppenheimer and audiences are responding in numbers we’ve not seen in our 50-year history,” said Rich Gelfond, CEO of IMAX. <table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none; table-layout: fixed; width: 468pt;"

successes in the recent past extends beyond Hollywood, Bollywood and Telugu cinema. The recent months have seen a lot of traction from regional movies — extending beyond the South movies. Punjabi movie Carry on Jetta 3, starring Gippy Grewal and Jaswinder Bhalla, became the first movie to cross the ₹100 crore mark in worldwide collections even as it grossed over half of that in India. A Marathi movie — which also boasts of an all-female lead starring Rohini Hattangadi and Baipan Bhari Deva — has also grossed ₹89.6 crore Added to that, many other recent Hindi releases like Satyaprem Ki Katha also came close to becoming superhits – signalling good times for movie makers, theatre owners and investors of PVR. The stock of PVR ran up by 22% in the last three months, and analysts expect better times ahead. “We continue to reiterate our positive stance on multiplexes over the medium/long-term. PVR INOX continues its focus on expanding F&amp;B offerings (especially for INOX chain) and recently introduced F&amp;B items starting at ₹99, gaining good traction. Ticket synergy benefits shall likely kick in from upcoming quarters while the F&amp;B synergy benefits are already as per plans,” said Nuvama. More movies, fewer OTTs The pipeline of big movies in the coming months is also full — with Ayushmann Khurrana’s Dream Girl 2, Hollywood movie, Grand Turismo, and Malayalam movie, King of Kotha, in August. In September, Shah Rukh Khan who is riding high on the success of Pathaan will release yet another movie Jawan. Conjuring universe movie ‘The Nun 2’ will also release next month along with yet another Prabhas starrer, Salaar Part 1. Added to that, the biggest competitor of theatres, the OTT, is slashing budgets, forcing couch surfers to step out. “Recent Hindi films are hinting towards a revival, and we expect international OTTs to cut India budget by 20–30% in FY24, both of which bode well for PVR INOX,” says Nuvama.

Gadar 2, Jailer, Oppenheimer & more resurrect the big screens as people throng to theatres again

New Delhi, August 16 may have been a working day, but Rajinikanth's '<keyword id="218107" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="jailer" source="Orion">Jailer</keyword>' and Sunny Deol's '<keyword id="1847504" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Gadar-2" source="Orion">Gadar 2</keyword>' not only did well, but also left the Akshay Kumar-starrer '<keyword id="452656" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="OMG" source="Orion">OMG</keyword> 2' and Chiranjeevi's 'Bholaa Shankar' way behind. At the end of Day 6, 'Gadar 2' was sitting on a worldwide collection of Rs 338.50 crore (gross receipts across India, Rs 308.50 crore, which includes the 18 per cent GST component, plus Rs 30 crore overseas). Interestingly, Tara Singh's one-man war against Pakistan seems to have touched a chord in Chennai, for the southern metropolis saw a 73.75 per cent occupancy in theatres for 'Gadar 2'. Pakistan-bashing, clearly, works as much in the south as it does in the north, that too on a working Wednesday. 'Jailer', being a Tamil film, doesn't have as big a footprint as 'Gadar 2', yet with Thalaiva Rajinikanth headlining it, by its seventh day, it had amassed Rs 420 crore (all-India gross receipts, Rs 264.70 crore, plus Rs 155.30 crore overseas). Of course, the film's domestic collections have come mainly from the four southern states, led by Tamil Nadu (Rs 121.60 crore), followed by Andhra Pradesh / Telangana (Rs 53.50 crore), Karnataka (Rs 44.40 crore) and Kerala (Rs 35.90 crore). But Rajini's global fan following has ensured an overseas collection more than five times higher than that of 'Gadar 2', enabling it to be India's No. 1 movie today. 'OMG 2', in contrast, has just crossed the Rs 100-crore mark (Rs 108.80 crore, including all-India gross receipts of Rs 93.80 and an overseas collection of Rs 15 crore), even as 'Bholaa Shankar' is languishing at Rs 39 crore (all-India gross receipts, Rs 33.40 crore, plus Rs 5.60 crore earned overseas). 'Jailer' was massively hyped across South India, with offices in Tamil Nadu even giving a day off to their employees to watch the film on August 10 upon its release. Rajinikanth's persona in the movie is that of an old jailer hunting down a notorious gang lord and mercilessly eliminating his gang members. Regarding the magic of 'Jailer' at the box office, trade expert Ramesh Bala said: "Rajinikanth is a Superstar. The 'Superstar' tag alone is enough to garner it all the attention it needs. And then, he also benefits from worldwide recognition." Continuing his analysis, Bala said: "Apart from Rajinikanth, the movie has good content, it is different, and has other famous faces from the South, notably Malayalam superstar Mohanlal and Ramya Krishnan. But when you mention Rajinikanth, words such as swag, cool, attitude come to mind, and his 50-year-plus career and humble nature also help." Bala expects the lifetime collection of 'Jailer' to touch Rs 600 crore, which means it will surpass last year's 'Ponniyin Selvan 1' and 'Vikram', and stand just behind Rajini's '2.0'. 'Gadar 2' is not expected to cross Rs 450-500 crore, but its makers, having produced the film reportedly for Rs 75 crore, are already laughing all the way to the bank.

Rajini Rules: 'Jailer' is No. 1 with Rs 420 cr in 7 days; 'Gadar 2' clocks Rs 338.5 cr in six

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Taylor Swift announced a brand-new album while accepting an award at the 2024 Grammys.</li><li>"The Tortured Poets Department" will have 16 songs, four bonus tracks, and two features.</li></ul>Taylor Swift's 11th studio album is on the horizon.While onstage at the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/category/grammys-2024">2024 Grammy Awards</a> to accept the award for best pop vocal album, which she won for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/grammys-aoty-nominees-ranked-who-should-win-sza-taylor-swift-2024-2">her 2022 release "Midnights,"</a> Swift <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/TheSwiftSociety/status/1754333290008322335?s=20">announced</a> that a brand new album titled "The Tortured Poets Department" will arrive on Friday, April 19."This is my 13th Grammy, which is my lucky number," she said onstage. "I don't know if I've ever told you that.""I want to say thank you to the members of the Recording Academy for voting this way, but I know that the way that the Recording Academy voted is a direct reflection of the passion of the fans," Swift continued. "So I want to say thank you to the fans by telling you a secret that I have been keeping from you for the last two years."Shortly after leaving the stage, Swift shared the album cover on social media.She also shared a prologue, which may include unreleased lyrics: "And so I enter into evidence / My tarnished coat of arms / My muses, acquired like bruises / My talismans and charms / The tick, tick, tick of love bombs / My veins of pitch black ink.""All's fair in love and poetry," she concluded. "Sincerely, The Chairman of The Tortured Poets Department." This isn't the first time Swift has used an award show to promote a new album; <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/taylor-swift-midnights-new-album-october-vmas-announcement-details-2022-8">she announced the imminent arrival of "Midnights"</a> while accepting video of the year at the MTV Video Music Awards.However, the "Poets" reveal shocked fans, who had been <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/taylor-swift-grammys-outfit-easter-eggs-2024-2">anticipating another "Taylor's Version" instead</a>. (Swift still has two installments left in her rerecorded album series: 2017's "Reputation" and her self-titled debut "Taylor Swift.")<h2>Fans immediately began dissecting the announcement for Easter eggs</h2>"The Tortured Poets Department" is a conspicuously wordy phrase for Swift, who tends to prefer one or two-word album titles.However, the title may be a sly reference to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/taylor-swift-joe-alwyn-relationship-details-timeline">Swift's ex-boyfriend, Joe Alwyn</a>. The actor previously said he was in a group chat with Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott called "<a target="_blank" href="https://people.com/tv/paul-mescal-joe-alwyn-andrew-scott-message-each-other-in-tortured-man-club-group-chat/">The Tortured Man Club</a>."Mescal also has a connection to Swiftian lore; he dated Phoebe Bridgers, who recorded a duet with Swift for "<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/taylor-swift-red-taylors-version">Red (Taylor Version)</a>." The two became close friends and Bridgers was later booked as <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/phoebe-bridgers-music-life-photos-taylor-swift-eras-2023-3">an opener for The Eras Tour</a>.Bridgers <a target="_blank" href="https://www.papermag.com/phoebe-bridgers-paul-mescal-split-2659384588">seemed to confirm her split from Mescal</a> in early 2023; Swift and Alwyn reportedly broke up <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/taylor-swift-fans-joe-alwyn-breakup-eras-tour-set-list-2023-4">around the same time</a> after six years together. One month after the news was made public, Swift was romantically linked to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/taylor-swift-matty-healy-relationship-timeline-2023-5">The 1975 front man Matty Healy</a>. Healy may be another aforementioned muse ("My muses, acquired like bruises") for "The Tortured Poets Department." Before he deleted his Instagram account, Healy <a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzfeed.com/mychalthompson/matty-healy-phoebe-bridgers-bo-burnham-kiss">shared a photo</a> of himself kissing Bridgers — flanked by her current boyfriend Bo Burnham — with the caption "Gay Poets Society."Of course, that caption was a cheeky nod to the classic film "Dead Poets Society" — but the movie was released in 1989, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/taylor-swift-1989-album-fun-facts-details-you-missed-2023-11">famously the same year Swift was born</a>. Given Swift's affection for Easter eggs, it's reasonable to assume it's all connected.<h2>The album will have 16 songs, four bonus tracks, and two features</h2>One day after her album announcement, Swift shared the tracklist on social media.The 17 song titles are printed next to a photo of Swift with her eyes shut, presumably for the physical copy's back cover. The tagline reads, "I love you, it's ruining my life."Fans quickly drew a connection to the bridge in "<a target="_blank" href="https://youtu.be/ic8j13piAhQ?si=RNsXtR-IbVHmBYxM">Cruel Summer</a>," the second track on her 2019 album "Lover" ("I love you, ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?"). Indeed, several song titles indicate "The Tortured Poets Department" will be a true breakup album, with callbacks to old love songs in Swift's catalog.Track three is titled "My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys," which could be another reference to a "Cruel Summer" lyric: "Bad, bad boy, shiny toy with a price / You know that I bought it."Track five, "So Long, London," is likely a nod to the "Lover" track "<a target="_blank" href="https://youtu.be/VsKoOH6DVys?si=p9iZyR6dyIt2FLvf">London Boy</a>," which fans presume was inspired by Alwyn. (He was born and raised in North London; <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/taylor-swift-lover-diary-entries-about-kanye-west-joe-alwyn-2019-8">Swift moved to the English city</a> shortly after they began dating.)Track seven's title, "Fresh Out the Slammer," is a euphemism for getting out of jail. Back in 2017, Swift compared her partner to a captor on the "Reputation" single "<a target="_blank" href="https://youtu.be/wIft-t-MQuE?si=NivDLKCOmcyzXgum">…Ready For It?</a>" ("He can be my jailer, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/taylor-swift-lyrics-literary-references-easter-eggs-details-2023-5">Burton to this Taylor</a>").The final track on the album's standard edition, "Clara Bow," is named after a silent film-era actor who was described by her biographer David Stenn as "sexually aggressive and confident — a real role model."<div type="image" title="clara bow" height="2862" width="3688" msid="107503203" hostid="261"></div>"Clara Bow was in charge," Stenn told <a target="_blank" href="https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1999-jun-12-ca-45582-story.html">The Los Angeles Times</a>. "She domesticated the men. She taught men to come to her. She never gave up her autonomy or her independence."Like Swift's 2020 album "<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/taylor-swift-folklore-review-tracklist-breakdown-2020-7">Folklore</a>," the standard edition of "The Tortured Poets Department" will have 16 songs. Alongside the tracklist reveal, she also announced a bonus track titled "The Manuscript."In the following weeks, Swift unveiled three alternate covers for the album, each featuring another "exclusive" bonus track: "<a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C3aByb8uzyU/?img_index=1">The Bolter</a>," "<a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C3sF3Z-O1Q4/?img_index=1">The Albatross</a>," and "<a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C4DfUrLO7X6/?img_index=1">The Black Dog</a>." These songs will only be available on their respective vinyl releases — a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/taylor-swift-youre-losing-me-lyrics-references-analysis-explanation-2023-6">familiar strategy</a> to boost first-week sales. "The Tortured Poets Department" will also include two guest vocalists: Post Malone is featured on track one, "Fortnight," while Florence + the Machine is featured on track eight, "Florida!!!"Swift has never collaborated with either artist, though Florence's latest album "<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/best-albums-this-year-ranked-2022-12">Dance Fever</a>" was produced by Swift's longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff. As for Malone, he and Swift have been friends <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/B5X135jBBU4/?igshid=12hrgbjrnscjo">since at least 2019</a>.<h2>Swift was partially inspired by the five stages of grief</h2>To prepare fans for "The Tortured Poets Department," Swift curated five distinct playlists for Apple Music.Each playlist draws a parallel between a new album lyric and one of the stages of grief, as outlined by the famed psychiatrist <a target="_blank" href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Elisabeth-Kubler-Ross">Elisabeth Kübler-Ross</a>."I love you, it's ruining my life" is connected to the first stage: Denial. Swift included romantic songs like "Lavender Haze," "Sweet Nothing," "Lover," and "Wildest Dreams" in this collection."This is a list of songs about getting so caught up in the idea of something that you have a hard time seeing the red flags — possibly resulting in moments of denial and maybe a little bit of delusion," she explained in a recorded intro. The series of playlists continue in this way: "<a target="_blank" href="https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/you-dont-get-to-tell-me-about-sad-songs/pl.f3e34b9df6534f09b81560473317bec0">You don't get to tell me about sad</a>" is anger; "<a target="_blank" href="https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/am-i-allowed-to-cry-songs/pl.455d78fed003473787886679c686fdcd">Am I allowed to cry?</a>" is bargaining; "<a target="_blank" href="https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/old-habits-die-screaming-songs/pl.fcbd4836593343a490bea5e343fca3cf">Old habits die screaming</a>" is depression. All three phrases are featured on the back covers of the deluxe vinyl editions.The final playlist shares the title of the album's 13th track: "<a target="_blank" href="https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/i-can-do-it-with-a-broken-heart-songs/pl.43222633fa6b4868b2ba6aa260903e5f">I Can Do It With a Broken Heart</a>," which represents acceptance, the final stage of grief. It includes songs like "You're On Your Own, Kid," "It's Time to Go," "Clean," and "Begin Again.""These songs represent making room for more good in your life, making that choice," Swift explained. "Because a lot of time when we lose things, we gain things too."<h2>Swift will release a new music video on Friday</h2>Swift has declined to release any snippets or singles ahead of the album, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/taylor-swift-tortured-poets-department-album-rollout-promo-explained-2024-4">echoing the quiet rollout strategy that worked so well for "Midnights."</a>However, she will unveil a music video on the album's release date, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/taylor-swift-anti-hero-video-details-you-missed-2022-10">just as she did for "Anti-Hero" in 2022</a>.We don't know yet which song Swift has selected to promote from "The Tortured Poets Department," but we do know its music video <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C513vGiuWoo/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link">is set to premiere on Friday at 8 p.m. ET</a>.
