The 2018 horror drama “Tumbbad,” directed by Rahi Anil Barve, is making a notable return to cinemas today. Although the film did not achieve remarkable box office success upon its initial release. It has since cultivated a dedicated cult following through satellite and OTT platforms. This growing fan base has sparked significant excitement for the re-release, as evidenced by the impressive advance booking numbers. Fans are eagerly anticipating the chance to experience “Tumbbad” on the big screen once again, generating a palpable buzz.
Strong Advance Bookings
“Tumbbad,” starring Sohum Shah in the lead role, has seen impressive advance sales for its re-release. Reports reveal that the film has sold 21,000 tickets across the top three national chains—PVR, Inox, and Cinepolis—on the opening day alone. Specifically, PVR Inox has accounted for 15,000 tickets, Cinepolis 6,000, and MovieMax another 1,000. This strong advance booking indicates a promising start at the box office, especially notable for a film making a comeback after six years.
Tumbbad Box Office Projections
The positive trend in advance bookings suggests that “Tumbbad” is likely to exceed its original opening day numbers from 2018. Early projections estimate that the film could potentially reach the ₹1 crore mark on its re-release opening day, depending on walk-in audiences. For reference, “Tumbbad” initially opened with ₹50 lakh in 2018 and ultimately earned ₹12 crore during its original run. Given its cult status and the enthusiasm from its fan base, the re-release is poised to perform significantly better.
Re-release Efforts and Expectations
To ensure a successful re-release, the makers of “Tumbbad” have meticulously prepared fresh promos and posters to generate excitement and draw audiences. The film’s return to theaters presents a unique chance. To see if it can surpass its original box office performance and achieve new milestones. Much like how Imtiaz Ali’s “Laila Majnu” made waves upon its re-release, “Tumbbad” is set to deliver a thrilling experience for both new viewers and long-time fans, promising a memorable cinematic event.
