Animal Box Office Prediction

Hindi language action pic Animal is unleashed in nearly 900 North American venues on December 1st. It will vie for second highest debuting newcomer of the weekend (behind Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé). From director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the epic length (201 minutes) experience stars Ranbir Kapoor, Amil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Rashmika Mandanna, and Tripti Dimri.

As mentioned, the battle for the runner-up early December premiere could be a tight one between Godzilla Minus One, Silent Night, The Shift, and this. I have all four falling between $5-8 million.

This one could over perform, but comps are key. 2022’s Brahmastra – Part One: Shiva (another long Hindi language adventure) made $4.5 million out of the gate on slightly less screens. This September’s Jawan took in just over $6 million. Both were roughly a half hour shorter than Animal. I’m thinking a performance more like Shiva is the likely result.

Animal opening weekend prediction: $4 million
