Box Office Report: ‘Patiala House’s bad response still on the way!: After a slow start on Friday, Nikhil Advani’s new movie Patiala House couldn’t pick up on the weekend. As per reports, the movie collected Rs 2.75 crore approx on Monday. The film has witnessed a drop of 40-45% in its collection since Friday, and it’s been just four days.
If the movie continues to remain steady at BO, it can manage to get close to Rs 25 crore mark in its first week. But this is not a good figure for any Akshay Kumar film because most of his movies get much more than Rs 25 crore approx in their first weekend. It’s certain that the movie is not going to be a big hit but because of its not-so-high budget, the producers can heave a sigh of relief. They are also benefitted by Akshay’s profit sharing deal and also with the rebate given by the UK government for films shot in the country.
The collections of Yeh Saali Zindagi in its second weekend were average. The film has managed to hold on at theatres in spite of the release of Patiala House. The movie is likely to do a share of around Rs 5.75 crore in its lifetime run.
This Friday, Priyanka Chopra is ready to jolt the BO with her 7 Khoon Maaf.
Box Office Report: 'Patiala House' opens with poor response: Akshay Kumar’s latest film Patiala House has opened to an unexpectedly poor response at the box office.
Luck seems to have run out on Akshay Kumar, for after the failure of his Tees Maar Khan, his new release Patiala House too wasn’t able to attract many footfalls in theatres on its opening day, Friday.
The film opened to 30 to 40 percent response in multiplexes, and a dismal 10 to 20 percent occupancy at single screen theatres. This is shockingly low for a superstar whose films used to open to packed houses just two years back. The reviews by critics are mixed and so is the audience reaction to the Nikhil Advani-directed film.
Meanwhile, last week’s release Yeh Saali Zindagi rounded off its first week with a collection of Rs. 7.5 crore net. On the other hand, Madhur Bhandarkar’s Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji continued to slide down and did a business of Rs. 6 crore during its second week. The film’s collection so far is in the proximity of Rs. 27 crore.
The coming Friday would see the release of Vishal Bhardwaj’s much awaited film 7 Khoon Maaf.
