As per the numbers quoted by Indian movie trade outlets,\u00a0Varun Dhawan starrer \u2018Baby John\u2019<\/em>, which opened at INR11.25 crores \u2013 a rather shocking opening day figure for a holiday release \u2013 dipped further to INR5.13 crores on day 2, with a struggle to cross even INR20 crores by the end of day 3, which happened to be the first theatrical Friday for the title.<\/p>\n

Amid this disappointing run, and with no major releases scheduled until mid of January 2025, theatres have decided to replace the multiple shows of \u2018Baby John\u2019<\/em>\u00a0with the Hindi version of Haneef Adeni\u2019s Malayalam-language action thriller \u2018Marco\u2019<\/em>, starring Unni Mukundan, to reap in maximum benefits of the holiday season.<\/p>\n

Speaking to a local publication in the country, a source close to the exhibitor said, \u201cOn Thursday, the film (Baby John<\/em>) suffered a huge drop which made it clear for the exhibitors that it won\u2019t even grow on Friday. As a result, cinemas across the country have reduced its showcasing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cMeanwhile, the Hindi version of the Malayalam film Marco<\/em>\u00a0is gradually gaining traction. There\u2019s a curiosity to see it as many are claiming that Sandeep Reddy Vanga\u2019s ultra-violent film\u00a0Animal<\/em>\u00a0(2023), looks like a kiddie movie, in front of\u00a0Marco<\/em>\u00a0because of its excessive violent scenes. Hence, there\u2019s a demand for it and\u00a0Baby John<\/em>\u2019s shows are being replaced with that of\u00a0Marco<\/em>\u00a0and also films like\u00a0Pushpa 2<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Mufasa: The Lion<\/em>\u00a0King<\/em>,\u201d disclosed the insider.<\/p>\n

According to the details, a Mumbai-based cinema hall will play five shows \u2018Marco<\/em> (Hindi)\u2018<\/em> on Sunday, while Dhwan\u2019s film will have only 3 shows. Another multiplex, which was showing \u2018Baby John\u2019<\/em> in a 1000-seater, has now shifted the film to the hall with a capacity of 200, and replaced it with Allu Arjun\u2019s \u2018Pushpa 2\u2019<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Notably, Varun Dhawan-led \u2018Baby John\u2019<\/em>, co-starring Keerthy Suresh, Wamiqa Gabbi and Jackie Shroff, is written and directed by Kalees. After being delayed from the original release slate of May, the action thriller, backed by Tamil filmmaker Atlee, arrived in theatres earlier this week, on the occasion of Christmas Day.<\/p>\n
