'Thor 4' to 'Shabaash Mithu': Examining weekend box office collections
What's the story
The past few weeks have brought in some exciting new releases.
Many of them were able to gain traction while some are slowly fizzling out.
Interestingly, fairly old releases like Tom Cruise's Top Gun: Maverick and Jurassic World: Dominion have continued to hold their ground irrespective of the new releases coming in.
Let's take a look at how the newer films have fared.
#1
'Thor: Love and Thunder'
Thor: Love and Thunder starring Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, and Christian Bale has completed another successful weekend at the Indian box office.
The film directed by Taika Waititi officially entered the Rs. 100cr club in India.
Over the weekend, the film picked up the pace and has reportedly collected a sum of Rs. 115cr.
Interestingly, the film has done better than other Hindi films.
