Hollywood’s grip on Indian audiences, which it has strengthened over the past few years, has faced a plot twist this year with box office receipts estimated at approx. $1,300 crore from around 35 issues – a modest rise from $Rs 1,276 crore was generated in 2022, when 20 films released due to coronavirus delays.
Besides, American films in 2023 are expected to contribute around 13% to India’s total theatrical business, compared to an average of 20-22% during pre-pandemic times. The poor performance of major superhero films that resonated across age groups, and the absence of blockbusters e.g Avengers franchise, contributed to a less-than-epic year by Hollywood standards, despite some seemingly niche titles, e.g Oppenheimer, exceeding expectations. With total box office collections $157 Crores, OppenheimerChristopher Nolan’s biographical thriller tops the charts in 2023, followed by… Fast x ( $138 Crores), Mission Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 1 ( $132 Crores), Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 ( $72 Crores) and John Wick: Chapter 4 ( $58 Crores).

“In terms of the box office of superhero movies, there seems to be an erosion, but the burnout factor has a lot of credibility. It ultimately depends on the content of the movie,” said Denzel Dias, vice president and managing director of Warner Bros. Discovery’s indie theatrical business.
Dias highlighted the success Oppenheimer, India’s least favorite genre, is the blockbuster Hollywood film of 2023, along with holding the title of the highest-grossing international film of all time in the country, as well as recording the highest IMAX grosses, surpassing even the domestic titles. Warner is responsible for distributing Universal Studios films in India.
Top Hollywood studios such as Disney, Sony, Viacom, Warner Bros and Universal were created $1,100 crore this year, compared to $1,227 crore last year, buoyed by its outstanding success Avatar: Water Road Which achieved $Dias added 400 crores alone.
However, experts and theater owners said the superhero formula has now been spread too thin by Hollywood studios, and the proliferation of spin-offs and web shows is leading to a decline in theater demand.
Audience interest may not have waned, but you can’t tell the same story with a few changes in images, said Pankaj Jaisinh, CEO of distribution and film service UFO Moviez.
He speaks in New York timesAt the annual DealBook summit last month, Disney CEO Bob Iger admitted that the company had “watered down” the quality of the films Marvel produces. “A lot of times, the story is not as strong as the original, and that can be a problem,” he said. “There has to be an artistic reason for making it, and we made a lot of it.” Although Disney is currently working on several sequels, he noted that the company will only greenlight the sequels that it believes are “worth telling.”
There seems to be a decline in audience interest in major franchises and superhero films, agreed Devang Sampat, CEO, Cinepolis India, as evidenced by the poor performance of films like Wonders, Indiana Jones And the Dial Destiny, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum ObsessionAnd Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3. “This decline may be attributed to deficiencies in creative storytelling and failure to connect with audience expectations. However, there is optimism for improvement with upcoming releases such as Aquaman And Lost Kingdom In December 2023 and Kung Fu Panda 4 “In 2024,” Sampat said.
