Game changer 50% of its budget before its release
Recovering 50% of a film's budget before its release is a significant achievement and indicates strong pre-release marketing, distribution deals, or ancillary sales. Here’s how this could happen
The developers of Game Changer have advanced the film's promotion with a massive event scheduled for January 10, 2025. However, the Shankar-directed movie has already recouped over half of its investment. Half of the action drama's about ₹400 crore budget was recovered through non-theatrical rights, like as deals for OTT, satellite, and audio. Theatre earnings must be used to recoup the remaining sum. There is a lot of anger between fans and the general public because Shankar's last movie, Indian 2, was a huge failure. But celebrities like Chiranjeevi have praised the movie, creating a lot of buzz. In Game Changer, Kiara Advani portrays the lead female character, and Thaman composes the soundtrack.
