Hyderabad: Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone starrer aerial action film, Fighter, continues its successful run in theaters, garnering audience attention. Marflix Pictures, the banner behind the film, shared a stunning poster on social media, announcing the movie's impressive global box office earnings, surpassing Rs 302 crore.
The makers revealed that Fighter achieved over Rs 217 crore in gross box office domestically, complemented by an additional Rs 85 crore in overseas earnings. Sharing Fighter box office update on social media, makers wrote, "Grateful for all the love for #Fighter across the world 💖🙏🏻."
According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the film's box office collection reached Rs 28 crore during its second weekend in India. Notably, collections saw a significant surge from Friday to Saturday, followed by another substantial leap on Sunday.
The second weekend's box office performance started with Rs 5.75 crore, escalated to a remarkable Rs 10.5 crore on Saturday, and climaxed with an impressive Rs 13 crore on Sunday. This positive momentum propelled the film's overall box office figures to Rs 175.75 crore.
