However, despite this successful opening and record attendance at cinemas, PVR Inox reported a 6 percent decline in its stock price during the festive weekend.
The Diwali 2024 weekend proved to be a blockbuster for Bollywood, as Ajay Devgn-led Singham Again and Kartik Aaryan-led Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 collectively raked in over Rs 210 crore, marking the highest weekend total to date.
This impressive figure surpassed the previous record held by Ranbir Kapoor-led Animal and Vicky Kaushal’s Sam Bahadur, which earned a collective total of Rs191 crore. The strong performance of these films reflects the audience’s enthusiasm and desire for quality entertainment during the festive season.
However, in a surprising turn of events, the stock price of PVR Inox fell by Rs 93 on Monday, November 2024, representing a 6 percent decline.
