The Indian “Animal” became the best-selling movie at the world box office/overtaking “Napoleon”

Charso Press: According to Variety, the epic Bollywood film full of blood and bloodshed starring Ranbir Kapoor won the title of the highest-grossing film at the global box office with a sale of 42.1 million dollars. “Animal” directed by Sandeep Vanga Reddy was released in 38 global markets and its sales of 6.1 million dollars in North America, which was obtained from the release in 850 cinema screens, placed it in the seventh place in this region.

Ranbir Kapoor plays the son of India’s richest man in ‘Hiyawan’. Ashram actor Bobby Deol and Rashmika Mandana are the other actors of the film. Like Reddy’s previous films like Arjun Reddy (2017) in Telugu and Kabir Singh (2019), which was the Hindi version of that film, the film explores the feeling of toxic masculinity.

Dennis Harvey wrote in his film review: The whole film is about misplaced pride and toxic masculinity. No offense to ‘Beast’ but a caricature of masculinity with a mix of ‘James Bond’, ‘The Godfather’ and ‘Hercules’ reminiscent of celebrity fantasy.

With its sales, “Animal” pushed Ridley Scott’s “Napoleon” to the second place, and this film, with sales of 35.7 million dollars worldwide, of which 28.6 million dollars was obtained from sales outside the United States, is the second film in the world in It became the box office of cinemas. This movie has sold 137 million dollars worldwide since its release. “Napoleon” has been shown in more than 21,500 screens in 63 global markets. A key global market where it has not been released yet is South Korea, where it will begin its release on December 6.

“Hunger Games: Songbirds and Snakes” also grossed about 29.4 million dollars worldwide with its release in 88 territories and became the third highest-grossing film in the world in the last week. This movie has earned 244 million dollars worldwide since its first release.
