Drishyam The Conclusion crosses reported Rs 500 crore worldwide

What happened

Trade outlet Bollywood Hungama reported Drishyam The Conclusion had reached Rs 507.01 crore worldwide gross as of October 16.

Context and what is known

The reported total includes domestic gross and overseas receipts and differs from India net earnings. It is a trade-source figure, not an independently audited studio financial statement.

Context behind the headline

Worldwide gross, Indian net receipts and distributor share are three different box-office measures, so totals from different publications may not be directly comparable. The reported milestone should be attributed to the trade source and dated. A strong opening or cumulative collection can be newsworthy without extrapolating final lifetime earnings or claiming a record that the available figures do not establish.
