Also on TN (link below) {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Mar 22, 08:14

Dhurandhar The Revenge has set a new opening weekend record for a Bollywood film in North America. Antibody Mar 22, 08:15

Hm...I feel there's been better but don't have access to TN data to confirm. I guess RRR was $9.5m...so it comes doesn to decimals ;) TheWeekendWarrior Mar 22, 08:20

or are they not considering RRR "Bollywood" cause it's Telugu? So effin' confusing. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Mar 22, 08:21

Yeah, Baahubali 2: THe Confusion 2 opened bigger... so Yash Raj is gaslighting... TheWeekendWarrior Mar 22, 08:22

Is the distributor Moviegoer part of Yash Raj? {nm} Antibody Mar 22, 08:24

Oh, maybe not. I just know that Gitesh handles all Yash Raj PR and received most BO Emails about it from him. TheWeekendWarrior Mar 22, 08:26

From Gitesh when I asked about that record: TheWeekendWarrior Mar 22, 11:39

RRR is considered Tollywood and that record is Baahubali 2 $10.4M Antibody Mar 22, 08:22

Pretty sure "Tollywood" wasn't a thing in 2017... the movies are still released here mostly in Hindi. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Mar 22, 08:24

It's been a thing for 100 years, but yeah Indian distribution is certainly confusing and constantly evolving {nm} Moviesnob Mar 22, 11:02

Aside: it's 4 HOURS LONG?!! Holy engorged bladder, Batman! Rocket Mar 22, 08:25

There's an intermission.. I would have done it if it opened at the theater near me and I could use Regal Unlimited {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Mar 22, 08:27

I'm surprised they didn't split the whole thing into a trilogy. {nm} Antibody Mar 22, 08:32
