Baby John Box Office Collection Day 11: The box office performance of films has been a major focus this December. Pushpa 2: The Rule has been a ₹1000 crore blockbuster, while Mufasa: The Lion King carved out a niche audience despite tough competition, earning over ₹100 crore and hitting a sweet spot. However, things have been far from positive for a movie once touted as a game-changer for Varun Dhawan’s career. Yes, we’re talking about Baby John, which has failed to make an impact on anyone’s career. The film fell flat within the first week and has not crossed ₹10 crore on any day since its opening. Now, the movie is at rock bottom even on Saturday. Below is everything you need to know about this dismal update for this big-budget venture.
Baby John Box Office Update
Starring Varun Dhawan, Keerthy Suresh, and Wamiqa Gabbi, Baby John was among the most highly anticipated movies of 2024. Unfortunately, the buzz surrounding the movie failed to translate into box-office success. The film struggled to stay afloat during its first nine days, consistently earning under ₹5 crore daily. The downward trajectory worsened on Day 10, with domestic collections falling to a mere ₹45 lakh. Even on Saturday, the movie failed to find any significant redemption, with a modest increase in earnings.
As per Sacnilk, Baby John earned just ₹80 lakh on its eleventh day of release. While this marks nearly a 50% surge from Day 10, it’s still a disheartening figure for a film made on such a large budget. The total domestic collection of the Kalees directorial, produced by Atlee, now stands at ₹37.75 crore. At this rate, even reaching the ₹40 crore milestone seems highly unlikely for the film.
Baby John Loses 2500 Screens
Yes, you read that correctly. While Pushpa 2: The Rule dominates the box office with its roaring success, Mufasa: The Lion King, which was released on December 20, 2024, has managed to earn over ₹100 crore in India. Comparatively, Baby John has failed to cross ₹50 crore after nearly 10 days in theaters, raising concerns.
According to a TOI report, Baby John has been pulled from many single-screen theaters due to poor performance. It’s reported that the movie has lost approximately 2500 shows, a worrying sign for the filmmakers. With Pushpa 2 and Mufasa: The Lion King dominating, Baby John has been left with limited visibility, which will only further impact its already declining box office earnings.
Early estimates suggest that Baby John might struggle to reach ₹45-50 crore in total domestic earnings by the end of its theatrical run. On the global stage, the Varun Dhawan-led action film is expected to wrap up around ₹75 crore. These numbers fall far short of what’s needed to break even, let alone achieve profitability.
