KARACHI – This year has been a successful year for Pakistani cinema, with two successful animated movies; Allahyar and the Legend of Markhor and The Donkey King. Both of them have done exceptionally well at the Box Office.
Geo TV sponsored ‘The Donkey King’ has become the highest grossing animated movie of the year raking in Rs180 million in total by the end of its fifth week.
The film has beaten all previous box office records for an animated film produced in Pakistan, by collecting 4 crores in the first week. The Donkey King collectively raked in over 10 crores in its second and third week and in the fourth week it generated around 2.55 crores.
This animated story is still going strong and has sustained the numbers despite the release of Thugs of Hindostan which took the most number of shows from the animated production.
