5 Upcoming Films Set to Earn ₹3000 Crores: Box Office Explosion on the Way!
The year 2024 has been fairly decent for the box office so far. Movies like Kalki 2898 AD, Stree 2, and GOAT have made a significant impact, each earning between ₹700-800 crores globally. However, the final quarter of the year is expected to be even bigger, with several high-budget films ready for release.
While filmmakers may be anxious about the intense competition, two groups stand to benefit greatly from these box office clashes: the audience, who will have a plethora of exciting content to enjoy, and the box office itself, which is projected to rake in thousands of crores.
According to a report from Koimoi.com, the remaining months of the year could see the box office collecting approximately ₹3050 crores. Let’s take a closer look at five upcoming films that are expected to dominate the box office.
