Box Office: Understanding the economics of Hunterrr

 

Deviating from the genre of dark and serious films, Phantom pictures produced for a new genre of film with the sex comedy Hunterrr. Starring Gulshan Devaiah, the film which traces the 'sexual' journey of a middle class boy Mandar Ponkshe, who is completely unabashed about his fantasies, however, has failed to make a mark at the box office. Though many critics and masses were impressed with its one liners, this 'A' rated film failed to be a crowd puller. In this special box office report, we take a look at the economics of the film to analyze the overall profitability for the film's makers.

According to our report, the makers of Hunterrr have been incurring losses to the tune of approximately Rs. 3.25 crores. Hunterrr in totality needs to collect a minimum of Rs. 18 crores at the box office to break-even, which looks highly unlikely considering the upcoming releases this week which will pull the audiences. In the final tally, the loss made by Hunterrr is estimated to be around 21% approximately.
