Baby John box office collection day 8

Baby John, featuring Wamiqa Gabbi and Rajpal Yadav and directed by Kalees, premiered on Christmas Day in 2024. However, from the second day of its release, the film experienced a significant decline in earnings. It has struggled to achieve any form of recovery and remains disappointing in terms of box office performance. Current projections suggest that the film may not reach the Rs 50 crore mark in India by the conclusion of its theatrical run. For further details, continue reading.

According to Sacnilk, on its eighth day of release, coinciding with New Year’s Day on January 1, 2025, Baby John garnered only Rs 2.75 crore at the domestic box office. Although this figure represents an increase from the Rs 2.15 crore earned on Day 7, it is still insufficient. By the end of Day 8, the film's total earnings stood at Rs 35.40 crore. The film faced a significant drop in revenue on the first Monday, with earnings plummeting to Rs 1.85 crore.

Initial projections regarding the film's performance indicate that experts believe it may struggle to achieve a total domestic collection of Rs 45-50 crore by the conclusion of its theatrical run. In terms of global earnings, the action film featuring Varun Dhawan is anticipated to finish its run with approximately Rs 75 crore. These figures are significantly below the amount required for the film to break even, let alone generate a profit.

Notably, Baby John's opening day collection has emerged as Varun Dhawan's highest opening in the last five years. For comparison, Bhediya garnered Rs 7.48 crore on its first day, while Jugjugg Jeeyo recorded Rs 9.28 crore on its opening day. This suggests that there is a degree of redemption for the actor, despite the film's inability to meet expectations on its initial release day.
