Baby John Box Office Collection Day 5: Varun Dhawan’s movie fails to monetise weekend, mints ₹4.75 crore on Sunday

Baby John Box Office Collection Day 5: As the film completed its weekend run on Day 5, box office numbers showed that Varun Dhawan's Baby John failed to gain momentum in theatres.

According to Sacnilk.com, early estimates show that the Hindi adaptation of Atlee's 2016 Tamil blockbuster starring Vijay – Theri – minted just ₹4.75 crore on the fifth day of its release.

However, Baby John's Day 5 collection has witnessed an uptick in its earnings on Saturday and Sunday, warning above ₹4 crore each day.

According to Koimoi, the Varun Dhawan Christmas release is expected to earn under ₹60 crore in its lifetime.

Baby John: Box Office Collection

With the day 5 collection, the Kalees directorial total collection now stands at ₹28.65 crore.

Baby John, reportedly made with a budget of ₹160 crore, is unlikely to recover its basic cost at this rate.

“That will be impossible as the action thriller is close to crashing at the box office,” said Koimoi.

Baby John: Theatre Occupancy

The overall occupancy of the movie in Hindi was 17.38%. Chennai recorded the maximum occupancy, with 39.75%, while Pune recorded 24.25%. Cities like Mumbai and Bengaluru recorded 23.75 and 18.25% occupancy, while Lucknow recorded 15.75%.

The action thriller needs at least ₹102 crore to make it to Bollywood's Top 10 Christmas grossers list.

‘Highest opening day collection among remake films’

It was also Varun Dhawan's “best-ever opening” at the box office in the last five years.
