A definitive classification of Turbo 2024 as a box office "hit" or "flop" cannot be precisely determined without knowing its production budget. The terms "hit" and "flop" are relative to the film's investment, as a film's success is measured by its profitability—whether its earnings significantly exceed its costs.
While the exact profitability status remains unconfirmed due to the absence of budget information, the film has achieved notable box office collections in its initial release period.
Turbo (2024) Box Office Performance Overview
Turbo opened to significant figures, particularly in its home state of Kerala, and accumulated a substantial worldwide gross in its first week.
Here's a breakdown of its reported collections:
| Metric | Collection Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Opening Day (Kerala) | ₹6.25 crore | Specific to the state of Kerala. |
| India Gross (23 May 2024) | ₹3.40 crore | Collection across India on this specific date. |
| Worldwide Total (After Day 2) | ₹15.50 crore | Cumulative global gross by the end of its second day. |
| Worldwide Gross (First Week) | ₹58 crore | Total global earnings within its first seven days. |
| India Gross (First Week) | ₹29.5 crore | Earnings from the Indian market during the first week. |
| Overseas Gross (First Week) | ₹28.5 crore | Earnings from international markets during the first week. |
Understanding Box Office Success
To categorize a film as a hit or flop, analysts typically compare the total box office gross against the film's budget (production cost plus promotion and advertising expenses).
- Hit: A film is generally considered a "hit" if its gross earnings substantially cover its budget and provide a profit for the producers and distributors.
- Flop: Conversely, a "flop" indicates that the film failed to recover its investment through box office collections, resulting in financial losses.
Without Turbo's production budget, it's not possible to apply this crucial financial benchmark. However, the reported first-week worldwide gross of ₹58 crore suggests a respectable performance, especially given the significant contribution from overseas markets. The substantial opening day collection from Kerala also highlights its strong initial reception in that key region.
