Ram Charan and Kiara Advani’s Game Changer was expected to make a big impact on the Telugu film industry. The film created a huge buzz before its release and had a strong opening in the Hindi market. However, its box office performance has been on a downward trend since then. Let’s take a look at the latest box office numbers for Day 3.

Directed by S Shankar, this political action thriller hit theaters worldwide on January 11, 2024. The film received mixed reviews from both critics and audiences. Unfortunately, there has been growing concern about its box office collections, which seems to be affecting its performance, especially in terms of spot bookings.
Day 3 Early Estimates
Early estimates suggest Game Changer earned between 7.80 to 8.20 crores on its third day. This marks a drop of 7-8% from the 8.43 crores it earned on Saturday. The total box office collection for the opening weekend now stands between 24.87 and 25.27 crores.
Here’s the day-wise box office breakdown for Game Changer (Hindi version):
- Day 1: 8.64 crores
- Day 2: 8.43 crores
- Day 3: 7.80-8.20 crores (estimates)
- Total: 24.87-25.27 crores
Devara vs Game Changer Opening Weekend
After the massive success of RRR almost two years ago, Ram Charan’s solo film Game Changer was highly anticipated. However, it has been compared to Devara, which marked Jr NTR’s solo release in 2024.
In its opening weekend, Devara earned 29.52 crores, leaving Game Changer trailing behind. The real test for Game Changer will be how it performs in its first week.
Sankranti Holiday Boost Coming Up!
Despite the early drop in collections, Game Changer still made a strong opening for a Sankranti release, surpassing Mahesh Babu’s Sarileru Neekevvaru. The film could see a boost during the upcoming Sankranti holiday on January 14, 2025. Additionally, the Lohri celebrations in parts of India might drive more footfalls to theaters. After the holiday rush, the film’s performance during the regular weekdays will determine its overall box office success.
