Karate Kid Legends box office collection day 1: Jackie Chan¡¯s film fails to beat Thunderbolts, earns Rs 1.75 crore

Karate Kid Legends box office collection day 1: Karate Kid Legends, which hit the screens on May 30, has opened to a decent response at the Indian box office. It, however, has received underwhelming reviews with critics panning the execution. Karate Kid Legends is a martial arts drama directed by Jonathan Entwistle.

Karate Kid Legends takes a decent start in India

Jackie Chan is in the spotlight because of the latest film Karate Kid Legends, which arrived in theatres yesterday. According to Sacnilk, a trade portal, it earned Rs 1.75 crore (nett) in India on the first day. The film benefited from the popularity of the Karate Kid franchise but the dull reviews worked against it.

Karate Kid Legends has failed to beat the day 1 earnings of Thunderbolts. The Marvel film earned Rs 3.85 crore on the first day. This, however, is not too surprising as Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) titles enjoy a dedicated fan following in India. Moreover, Florence Pugh too is a known name in the market because of her work in Oppenheimer.

Coming back to Karate Kid Legends, it is expected to witness growth today (May 31) as it is a weekend. However, the jump may not be as high as expected because of the average word-of-mouth.
