Game Changer Worldwide Box Office Collection Day 4: Ram Charan's film Game Changer has been unsuccessful at monetising the hype it created before its release on January 10. This, coupled with piracy issues, has led to a slump in earnings for this political drama, dropping by a whopping 52.14 per cent at the Indian box office.
Globally, too, the film hasn't earned by Day 4 anywhere near to what its makers claimed it made on the first day of its release.
According to Sacnilk, Game Changer minted ₹25 overseas, taking its global earnings to ₹130.7 crore.
The makers of the film, however, claimed that Game Changer grossed over ₹186 crore at the global box office on its release day: “#BlockbusterGameChanger GROSSES 186 CRORES WORLDWIDE on Day 1.”
According to Sacnilk, the 2-hour and 44-minute film starring Kiara Advani netted ₹7.61 crore at the Indian box office on Monday, the fourth day of its release.
The film earned the highest in its original language, Telugu ( ₹5.12 crore). It also caught the attention of the Hindi-speaking audience and minted ₹1.83 crore in that language.
Game Changer earned ₹0.66 crore in Tamil. No numbers were provided for its Kannada version.
Produced under the banner of Sri Venkateswara Creations by Dil Raju, the political thriller has so far netted ₹96.11 crore at the domestic box office.
The S Shankar-directed movie was released in multiple languages and features S J Suryah, Nassar, Brahmanandam, Vennela Kishore, and Murali Sharma in key roles.
According to reports, some cybercriminals leaked the film online soon after its release. These same people also allegedly threatened the producers before the film’s release. Aakashavaani reported that the makers filed a case against the people who leaked the film’s HD print online.
The report suggests that 45 people are suspected of being involved in the leak. The Hyderabad cyber crime police are probing the case to confirm whether these 45 people acted independently, as a group, or sought support from external actors. The evidence provided by the makers will be used as a key document during the investigation.
