Ranbir Kapoor's latest film 'Animal', helmed by Sandeep Vanga Reddy, has not just made waves in the Indian box office but has also claimed the top spot globally, surpassing prominent films like 'Napoleon' and 'The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes' with an impressive $42.1 million in revenue, according to ComScore data.
This film, known for its intense narrative and featuring Ranbir in dual roles, has been released across 38 global territories. Its worldwide gross earnings encompass $6.1 million from North America alone, where it premiered across 850 locations, securing the seventh position in the region, as per reports from Variety.
'Animal' revolves around Ranbir Kapoor portraying the son of India’s wealthiest man, played by Anil Kapoor, who confronts an antagonist portrayed by Bobby Deol. The movie also stars Rashmika Mandanna.
Much like Reddy's previous works such as the Telugu-language 'Arjun Reddy' (2017) and its Hindi remake 'Kabir Singh' (2019), 'Animal' delves into the nuances of toxic masculinity.
In the second spot, Ridley Scott’s 'Napoleon', an action-packed epic produced by Apple Original Films and distributed by Sony Pictures, amassed $35.7 million globally, with $28.6 million coming from international markets, contributing to its total global earnings of $137 million.
Playing across more than 21,500 screens in 63 markets, 'Napoleon' is yet to hit South Korea, scheduled for release on December 6. Meanwhile, Lionsgate’s 'The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes' secured third place, grossing an estimated $29.4 million globally from 88 territories, pushing its international earnings to $123 million and its global gross to $244 million.
In the fourth position stands 'Renaissance', a concert film crafted by Beyonce, which raked in $27.4 million, including $6.4 million internationally and a striking $21 million in North America, where it debuted as the top title. Playing in 88 territories, the film has made a significant impact.
Wrapping up the top five is Disney’s 'Wish', accumulating $26.2 million from 34 territories, including $18.8 million internationally and $7.4 million in North America, totaling a global gross of $81.5 million.
