As per the portal, 'Fighter' has now accumulated a total of ₹140.35 crore nett in India during its opening week. The film registered an overall occupancy of 11.89 percent on Wednesday.

After a promising opening weekend where 'Fighter' secured earnings of ₹118.5 crore, the film took an unexpected turn on Monday, experiencing a significant drop with a single-figure collection of ₹8 crore. The downward trend continued throughout the week. Despite the domestic challenges, the film is showing better performance at the international box office.


Domestic vs International Box Office

The disappointing box office results of Fighter have raised concerns among film trade insiders, prompting worries about the state of the film industry. In a recent tweet, Taran Adarsh expressed his astonishment, stating, ‘FIGHTER’ shocks India, rocks overseas… The underperformance of Fighter has sent shock waves within the industry… Imagine, the film ticks all the boxes - right from star names and director’s credentials to tremendous critical acclaim and positive audience feedback… Yet, the dwindling numbers in #India are a complete shocker.”


He further added, "To face a setback at the very start of the year is indeed worrisome. Having said that, while the numbers are witnessing a downward trend in #India, the biz in key international markets continue to be strong, *even on weekdays… Markets like #USA, Canada, Australia and NZ (New Zealand) are still holding fort, even after an excellent weekend. How does one explain this paradox?"
