Box Office Update - All The Best Holds Steady; Blue Underperforms Massively

Fruit & Nut

Fruit & Nut starring Boman Irani posted inconsequential collections in the range of 0.3-0.4Cr and is a likely flop considering the opposition this week. With weak promotion and weak post release reports, the box office collections do not come as a surprise.

Week 2 drop = 46%

All The Best held steady especially in Mumbai. The second week collections around the country were encouraging with many centres recording less than industry average falls.

ATB Week 1 total for the above centres = 11.98Cr (ignoring 8 centres)

ATB Week 2 total for the above centres = 6.44Cr (ignoring 8 centres)

This means that ATB’s Week 2 total is 54% of ATB’s Week 1 total (6.44/11.98 = 54%)

Using ATB’s Week 1 Total of 24.0-25.0Cr, ATB’s Week 2 Total = 54% * (24.0-15.0) = 12.9-13.4Cr

All The Best 2 Week Total = 24.0-25.0Cr(Week 1) + 12.9-13.4Cr(Week 2) = 36.9 – 38.4Cr

Verdict – Above Average

With big competition in the first week, All The Best’s 35Cr+ total after two weeks is a commendable effort. The second week especially is solid and the film should reach 45Cr+ with comfort from here on. Overall the film has met a positive response at the box office but could be considered a missed opportunity had it had a clearer run. The film continues the success of the team who gave Golmaal Returns last year – Ajay Devgan and Rohit Shetty.

Blue

Blue as expected fell huge in the second week. The collections are extremely poor all over with 7.9-8.5Cr collected after a fall of around 75% across India. The Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt and Lara Dutta starrer is a below average performer on the strength of a solid first week performance and total collections of around 38.4-41.0Cr. The collections and pattern of trend are exactly like Kambakht Ishq earlier this year.

Main Aurr Mrs Khanna

Main Aurr Mrs Khanna did not post a miracle in the second week after a gargantuan fall of around 95% across India. Collecting a mere 0.3-0.4Cr, Main Aurr Mrs Khanna’s two week collections are a disastrous 7.3-7.9Cr.

Wake Up Sid

Ranbir Kapoor starrer Wake Up Sid made up for its blip last week with higher collections then its third week. Adding a further 1.6-1.7Cr to the total, Wake Up Sid is now a semi-hit in India with collections of 27.2-28.2Cr and should end up a 30Cr bracket grosser.
