2015: Hollywood dominates the first half

The statistics are from: Shilpa Jamkhandikar (writer)/ Tony Tharakan (ed.), Reuters, who have cited KPMG for the 2013 and 2014 figures.

Three of the five highest earning films screened in India in the first half of 2015 were from the USA. This is unusual for a country that has traditionally preferred its own blockbusters. The 21st century trend of dubbing big-budget US films into Indian languages is a major reason for this change.

Between 2013 and 2014 there was a 31% jump, aided by franchises like “Transformers” and “Iron Man“

Hollywood/ US films’ earnings in India since 2013 have been:

2013: Rs320 crore ($50 million)

2014: Rs420 crore ($65.6 million)

2015:

i) “Fast and Furious: 7” collected $15.6 million (approx. Rs100 crore)

ii) “Jurassic World” also around Rs100 crore

iii) “Avengers: Age of Ultron” Rs70 crore ($10.9 million)
