Top 14 Opening Days At Box Office In 2014, EK VILLAIN 2nd
First five months of 2014 went with out much activity at box office. 'Jai Ho' disappointed and medium budget film like '2 States' and 'Main Tera Hero' did good business. 'Queen' and 'Ragini MMS 2' were outstanding hits. Now with June starts the flow of big releases and potential blockbusters.
Akshay Kumar starrer 'Holiday - A Soldier Is Never Off Duty' scored at box office on its opening day as film collected 12.18 cr nett and went on to cross 100 cr nett. Then 'Humshakals' scored on day one despite bad reviews and collected 12.50 cr nett. This was 3rd best opening days of 2013.
Now the dark horse at box office, 'Ek Villain' has blown away all releases and stands tall as 2nd best opening of 2014 with 16.72 cr nett day one. This is even bigger considering film's modest budget and rather fresh cast. As per screen average ('Ek Villain' in 2500 screens & 'Jai Ho' in 3800 screens), this is the no. 1 film of 2014. Film is also heading for huge weekend.
