Baahubali: The Epic Re-Release Sets Records, Finishes First Weekend at About ₹22.6 Crore India Net

The remastered single-cut drew strongest turnout in Telugu markets, signaling a front‑loaded run after a record re‑release start.

Overview

  • Industry trackers estimate India net at roughly ₹22.56–₹22.85 crore for the opening weekend, with day-wise figures around ₹9.65 crore on Friday (plus ₹1.15 crore in previews), ₹7.0–₹7.3 crore Saturday and ₹4.46–₹4.75 crore Sunday.
  • Day two reflected a 26–29% dip from opening day, consistent with re-release front-loading, and Sunday eased further despite healthy occupancy reported in Telugu circuits.
  • Telugu led box office share and occupancy (about 53% on Saturday), while the Hindi version collected an estimated ₹1.65 crore on day two and about ₹3 crore in two days.
  • Trade updates highlight the biggest opening ever for an Indian re-release and a rapid climb in re-release rankings in India, including surpassing Titanic 3D’s lifetime gross to enter the top tier after two days.
  • Overseas rollout showed strong early traction, with an estimated $837,000 since midweek on roughly 450 North American screens, as the remastered 3h44m cut plays in premium formats with Dolby Atmos and IMAX upscaling; screenings also teased the animated project Baahubali: The Eternal War.
