Munjya: A Detailed Box Office Report
Munjya is a horror-comedy film. This article provides a detailed breakdown of its lifetime worldwide box office collection and its final box office verdict.
Munjya’s Place in the Supernatural Universe
This film is the third installment in the Supernatural Universe. Munjya was initially reported to be the fourth film in this universe, as the movie Roohi was previously included. However, since Rajkummar Rao starred in both Roohi and Stree playing different characters, Roohi was later removed from the universe’s continuity. This now makes Munjya the third film in the franchise, not the fourth.
Cast and Crew
The film’s cast includes Sharvari, Abhay Verma, Mona Singh, Sathyaraj, Suhas Joshi, and Rasika Bengalurkar. The movie was directed by Aditya Sarpotdar.
Release and Screen Count
Munjya was released in India on approximately 1600 screens and in overseas markets on around 500 screens. The film had a worldwide release on approximately 2100 screens on June 7, 2024.
Box Office Collection Breakdown
On its first day, the film achieved a net collection of 4 crore 10 lakh in India. The first weekend collection was 19 crore 65 lakh, and the total for its first week was 35 crore 74 lakh.
The lifetime net collection for the film in India reached 101 crore 80 lakh, with a gross collection of 122 crore. Overseas, the film collected approximately 4 crore 50 lakh. The total worldwide collection for Munjya stands at 126 crore 50 lakh.
Budget, Verdict, and IMDb Rating
The budget for Munjya was approximately 24 crore. Based on its collections, the film has been declared a blockbuster at the box office. The film also received an IMDb rating of 7.2.
An Unexpected Success
Before its release, there was an expectation that the film would be a disaster. However, its box office collection and final verdict surprised everyone. The film collected over 100 crore in India at a time when even an Akshay Kumar film is not reaching the 100 crore mark.
The film was close to becoming an all-time blockbuster, needing only another 5 crore to achieve this status. Based on its performance, it seemed likely to earn this amount, but it did not happen. After the release of the movie Bad Newz, many of Munjya’s shows were removed, despite the film still performing well. Had the film been given enough shows, it could have become an all-time blockbuster. Nevertheless, it is a significant achievement for a film that was expected to be a disaster to become a blockbuster.
What’s Next for the Supernatural Universe?
The fourth film in this Supernatural Universe will be Stree 2, which is scheduled to be released next month on August 15.
