According to figures released today, the film Dabangg 3 collected Rs. 81.15 crores in its opening weekend at theaters across India. Though this number sounds lower than usual for a Salman Khan movie given his past successes, it is still respectable given most movies do not make such earnings in their first three days of release. On Sunday, the film earned Rs. 31.90 crores more than what it had been earning on Friday and Saturday – a significant improvement to say the least. With such a wide distribution, however, it’s possible that Prabhudeva’s latest blockbuster might have earned even more…

The anticipated Salman Khan starrer Dabangg 3 released this past Friday to mixed reviews from critics. The film which was expected to bring in good numbers during its opening day has seen a dismal performance mainly due to on-going nationwide anti-CAA protests. These nationwide anti-CAA protest resulted in theater owners losing money for every movie screening as many people stayed home or went out and protested against it, making it difficult for theaters to generate profits. The opening weekend business for Dabangg 3 seems to have taken a heavy toll thus far, with an estimated loss of about Rs. 20…

Despite the presence of major competitors such as Dabangg 3 and audiences awaiting another anticipated film, people still showed interest in holdovers such as Mardaani 2 and Pati patni aur woh. Mardaani 2 continues to do well, raking in Rs. 2.55 crores yesterday (Sunday). This Ranvi Mukherjee starrer has been performing the best at cinemas that are located in metropolises; specifically, these performances come from urban audiences who are predominately from upper-middle class backgrounds – this is where Mardaani 2 collects its highest earnings too. Currently, Mardaani 2 stands at a collection of Rs. 33.70 crores and hopes for an…

Akshay Kumar’s Good News has taken a good opening at the box-office. The early showings did well but the movie found its stride by evening time and continued performing through late-night shows; clearly indicating that audiences were enjoying it.

Leading with the number 1 slot was Mission Mangal while Kesari falls under 3rd place followed closely by Good News and Houseful 4 right behind one another. Let’s take a look: Mission Mangal – Rs. 29.16 crores Gold – Rs.…

As anticipated, Dabangg 3 suffered a major decline on the second Friday. This was to be expected given that it ran unsteadily throughout the week with holidays being helpful for its earnings and regular days seeming relatively low. Moreover, due to Good News flooding most screens – especially those in Multiplexes – and earning decent word of mouth from audiences, Dabangg 3 became an unpopular alternative for viewers. The movie made a net profit of Rs. 2.70 crores after adding up the earnings from Friday alone, and has gathered 124.28 crores overall thus far. With ticket prices going up every…

After earning Rs. 24.5 crores on its opening day, this number fell off significantly, so much so that by Thursday it only made Rs. 7 crores in revenue; a number which could not be recovered from over the remainder of the days allotted in the long weekend. The film collected an additional 3.90 crores and now the total gross for the Prabhu Deva-directed affair is up to 131.38 crores*.
