Baby John box office collections see minimal growth 

Baby John opened to a decent ₹11.25 crore in the domestic market. However, the film struggled to maintain the pace at the box office. The Varun Dhawan starrer action flick registered massive dips on day 2 and day 3 of release. However, there was some respite on the weekend.

Baby John to be replaced with Marco (Hindi): Reports 

Amid a lukewarm response to Baby John in theatres, it was reported that the movie would be removed from the big screens. According to a report in Bollywood Hungama, select distributors have decided to let go of the Varun Dhawan starrer to make way for Marco. The Malayalam movie has been garnering commercial and critical praise. As per the makers, the Hindi version of the movie has been added to 140 screens across North India.

A source told the publication, “There’s a curiosity to see it (Marco) as many are claiming that Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s ultra-violent film Animal (2023), looks like a kiddie movie, in front of Marco because of its excessive violent scenes. Hence, there’s a demand for it, and Baby John’s shows are being replaced with that of Marco and also films like Pushpa 2 and Mufasa: The Lion King.” An official confirmation on the same is awaited.
