Hollywood has made significant progress in capturing the Indian market over the last decade or so. Over the past few years, several Hollywood films (big and small) have released in our country and performed significantly well at the box office. In fact, over the last couple of years, several movies like Wonder Woman, Logan, Deadpool, The Jungle Book, have given Bollywood movies a run for their money. Some Hollywood films have even affected the business and beaten Hindi movies. So after all the date shuffling, we decided to check out the filmy calendar and point out 7 of the biggest Hollywood-Bollywood box office clashes for 2018. We are sure each of these films will give the other a run for their money, so check out our list right here, right away.
Fifty Shades Freed vs Aiyaary vs Pad Man
Release date: February 09
After Akshay Kumar’s Pad Man and Sidharth Malhotra’s Aiyaary shifted their release date for Padmaavat, they are set to have a box office showdown on February 9, the Valentine’s weekend. Another Hollywood biggie, Fifty Shades Freed is set to release along with them, unless it is banned like Fifty Shades Darker. So expect a three way fight at the ticket window this Valentine’s.
Death Wish vs Pari vs Parmanu
Release date: March 02
Anushka Sharma’s Pari is all set to take on John Abraham’s Parmanu: The Story of Pokhran, but looks like they’ve got some company. Bruce Willis’ Death Wish is also going to hit the screens in India on March 2, making it a mega box office clash.
Tomb Raider vs Raid
Release date: March 16
Tomb Raider is a famous franchise that’s worked very well in India. With a new reboot of the franchise coming to India on March 16, alongside Ajay Devgn’s Raid, which will also be an action movie, we expect some fireworks at the box office.
Avengers: Infinity War vs Manikarnika vs Baazaar
Release date: April 27
Avengers: Infinity War is one of the most anticipated Marvel films ever and the buzz in India for the film it at it’s peak. So we are sure this one is going to be a sure shot blockbuster. But with Kangana Ranaut’s Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi and Saif Ali Khan’s Baazaar all set to release on the same day (April 27), we expect the Hollywood film to crush these two Hindi movies at the box office.
Deadpool 2 vs Raazi
Release date: May
Alia Bhatt’s Raazi is one of the actress’ most unconventional film yet. Being a thriller, the film is going to keep you on the edge of your seats. From our reckoning, the film would surely have grown with a decent word of publicity and would have had a long run at the box office. However, with Deadpool 2 coming a week after Raazi’s release, on May 19, we are sure the comic anti-superhero film will affect the Bollywood film’s run at the ticket window.
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom vs Race 3
Release date: June
While Salman Khan’s Race 3 releases on Eid 2018, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom releases a week later (June 22). Both the films are highly anticipated and are part of huge franchises that are popular in India. So expect a box office showdown between these two in June this year.
Mission Impossible 6 vs Dutt biopic
Release date: June 29
Mission Impossible is one of the most popular action franchises and every single film has been a hit in India. With the film releasing alongside Ranbir Kapoor’s ambitious Dutt biopic, we shall see a clash of Titans at the domestic ticket window.
