Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar is releasing in cinemas this Friday, December 5. The big-ticket tentpole entertainer is unexpectedly facing strong opposition from Dhanush and Kriti Sanon starrer Tere Ishk Mein. The musical romantic drama turned out to be a surprise package at the box office, which could eventually become a concern for Dhurandhar. But the box office works most unpredictably!

As Tere Ishk Mein is performing well at the box office, its distributor, Anil Thadani (AA Films), has asked for a good amount of showcasing in the second week as well. Single screen owners are willing to share one show to Tere Ishk Mein, while the rest to the new release, Dhurandhar. However, Jio Studios has apparently denied sharing even a single show. The Dhurandhar team has stated clearly that they want full domination in single screens for the entire opening week. 

The intense battle of showcasing is also going on in full swing in multiplex chains. AA Films has asked for an X number of shows in the multiplexes, while the Dhurandhar team wants to maximise its showcasing across the chains; thus, both parties are struggling to find a middle ground. 

Both distributors are trying their best to get optimal showcasing, and this has resulted in advance bookings not opening completely. The whole fiasco between Dhurandhar and Tere Ishk Mein is expected to be resolved only by Thursday noon, and that’s when all show bookings will open. 

For the unversed, Tere Ishk Mein has emerged as a Clean Hit venture, netting Rs. 65 crore in its 5 days of theatrical run. The movie is on course to hit the Rs. 100 crore mark by the end of its box office journey. On the other hand, the Ranveer Singh film is looking for a start in the vicinity of Rs. 14 crore to Rs. 18 crore, which is not justified for the cast and cost involved in the project. Let’s see how Tere Ishk Mein and Dhurandhar perform against each other in the coming weekend.

Zootopia 2 is storming the box office left, right and centre. The latest Disney outing has turned out to be a massive money spinner at the global box office, courtesy to franchise value and positive reception around the sequel. Released on November 25, 2025, Zootopia 2 raked in over USD 600 million in its 8 days of theatrical run, including its China collections. 

The movie grossed USD 426.1 million from over 52 international markets, while its domestic cume reached USD 163.1 million, making a global cume of USD 589.2 million. Adding USD 11 million from China’s 2nd Tuesday, the movie has already hit the USD 600 million mark. 

With this sort of impressive performance, the movie has already surpassed Tom Cruise‘s Mission: Impossible- The Final Reckoning at the worldwide box office. For the record, Mission Impossible 8 closed its box office journey around USD 598.76 million, as per Box Office Mojo. Zootopia 2 is now the ninth-highest-grossing movie of 2025 worldwide. 

Based on the current trends, the Disney animation film is all set to surpass Superman and F1’s lifetime earnings on its Day 9 (2nd Wednesday) at the worldwide box office. For the unversed, Superman had collected USD 616.6 million while Brad Pitt’s F1 ended its box office journey at USD 631.4 million. 

It is expected to storm past the USD 700 million mark on its second Friday, and then it will march towards the USD 800 million mark. Looking at the pace right now, the movie is certain to enter the USD 1 billion mark at the worldwide box office, possibly in the next week. It even has the potential to storm USD 1.5 billion in its entire run, depending on how it performs in the coming weeks. If it manages to achieve this feat, it will emerge as the biggest Hollywood grosser this year.
