Baby John Day 11 Box Office: Varun Dhawan's Action Film Struggles with Collections Under Rs 1 Crore

1 day ago | 5 Views

Baby John Box Office Collection Day 11: The box office results of films have garnered significant attention this December. "Pushpa 2: The Rule" has emerged as a blockbuster, surpassing the ₹1000 crore mark, while "Mufasa: The Lion King" has successfully attracted a dedicated audience despite facing stiff competition, accumulating over ₹100 crore and achieving a favorable reception. In contrast, the outlook has been bleak for a film that was once considered a pivotal moment in Varun Dhawan’s career. The film in question, "Baby John," has failed to resonate with audiences, struggling to make a notable impact. It experienced a disappointing performance in its opening week and has not managed to exceed ₹10 crore on any day since its debut. Currently, the film is languishing at the bottom of the box office rankings, even on Saturdays. Below is a comprehensive overview of this unfortunate development regarding this high-budget production.

Baby John Box Office Update

Featuring Varun Dhawan, Keerthy Suresh and Wamiqa Gabbi, Baby John was one of the most eagerly awaited films of 2024. Regrettably, the excitement surrounding the film did not result in box-office success. During its initial nine days, the film struggled to maintain momentum, consistently earning less than ₹5 crore each day. The situation deteriorated on Day 10, with domestic earnings plummeting to just ₹45 lakh. Even on Saturday, the film did not experience any significant recovery, showing only a slight increase in revenue.

According to Sacnilk, Baby John garnered merely ₹80 lakh on its eleventh day of release. Although this represents nearly a 50% increase from Day 10, it remains a disappointing figure for a film produced on such a substantial budget. The total domestic earnings for the Kalees-directed film, produced by Atlee, now amount to ₹37.75 crore. At this pace, achieving the ₹40 crore mark appears highly improbable for the film.

Baby John Loses 2500 Screens

Indeed, you have interpreted that correctly. While Pushpa 2: The Rule continues to excel at the box office, Mufasa: The Lion King, which premiered on December 20, 2024, has successfully garnered over ₹100 crore in India. In contrast, Baby John has struggled to surpass ₹50 crore after nearly ten days in theaters, raising significant concerns.

As reported by TOI, Baby John has been withdrawn from numerous single-screen theaters due to its underwhelming performance. It is estimated that the film has lost around 2500 screenings, which poses a serious issue for the filmmakers. With Pushpa 2 and Mufasa: The Lion King leading the box office, Baby John is left with minimal exposure, further exacerbating its already dwindling box office revenue.

Preliminary projections indicate that Baby John may find it challenging to achieve total domestic earnings of ₹45-50 crore by the conclusion of its theatrical run. On the international front, the action film featuring Varun Dhawan is anticipated to conclude with approximately ₹75 crore. These figures are significantly below the threshold required for the film to break even, let alone turn a profit.
