Kannappa Opens Big — For a Vishnu Manchu film, 11cr first day box office in India
Kannappa opened well at the Telugu box office, grossing Rs. 11 crore approx on its first day in India. The Vishnu Manchu starrer, featuring a galore of cameos from all across the country, including big names like Prabhas, Akshay Kumar and Mohanlal, drew most of its revenue from the Telugu version. The Hindi dubbed version had minimal collections while Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam were pretty much washouts. The film grossed Rs. 8.50 crore approx on Friday in the Telugu states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The opening is career best for Vishnu, who doesn't really have a box office track record of any value to his name, with his last hit being more than a decade ago and his recent films all being pretty much non-starters. The opening can be attributed to the subject matter, while the presence of Prabhas also probably helped the going to some degree in the Telugu states. The film carries huge costs, and the production is carrying the risk with theatrical rights not sold to any third-party distributors, which is rare for a Telugu film. The film could have done with a bigger opening, but then there weren't any expectations for that, and these numbers are better than expectations. It doesn't seem like the Hindi version will break out, which makes it tough for it, relying only on the Telugu version, which tends to fade quickly. The film will aim to sustain from this start, with the immediate task being not to drop big today. The first day box office collections of Kannappa are as follows:

F1 box office collection day 1: Brad Pitt's racing drama outpaces Top Gun Maverick but stalls behind Mission Impossible – The Final Reckoning, earns Rs 5.25 crore
Summer has officially arrived, and so has Brad Pitt, making a high-octane return with his much-anticipated film F1: The Movie, which opened to impressive numbers across Indian theatres. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the film earned approximately Rs 5.25 crore net on its first day (Friday), across all languages. The English 2D version posted an overall occupancy of 27.82% on its opening day. The film began modestly with 13.93% occupancy during the morning shows, gained momentum to reach 27.14% in the afternoon, rose further to 28.35% in the evening, and peaked at 41.84% during the night shows. Regionally, Chennai led with a strong 43% occupancy, followed closely by Hyderabad at 40.75% and Kochi at 31.75%. Surprisingly, key metropolitan markets like Mumbai and Delhi lagged behind, recording only 22.25% and 20.5% occupancy, respectively. Among the premium formats, English 4DX registered the highest occupancy across all languages and formats at 68%, followed by English IMAX at 58.57%, and English ICE at 39.94%.

However, Pitt's latest outing did outperform other recent major Hollywood releases in India. It beat Karate Kid Legends, starring Jackie Chan, which opened with Rs 1.75 crore, and his own previous film Bullet Train, which collected Rs 0.45 crore on its first day. The film features Brad Pitt as a veteran race-car driver who returns to Formula One after three decades to revive a struggling team and save his former teammate's legacy. Directed by Joseph Kosinski, best known for the global blockbuster Top Gun: Maverick, F1 has already surpassed Top Gun: Maverick's Indian opening day numbers, which stood at Rs 4.89 crore. With largely positive reviews and soaring audience interest, all eyes are now on how F1: The Movie performs in the coming days. However, its box office run will be tested by competition from regional releases such as Sitaare Zameen Par, Maa, and Kannappa.
