Top 15 Opening Weekends At Box Office In 2014, EK VILLAIN 2nd

2014 is proving to be game changer for new crop of actors. Arjun Kapoor and Alia Bhatt scored century with '2 States', Varun Dhawan scored 50 cr nett plus with 'Main Tera Hero' and then star son Tiger Shroff starrer 'Heropanti' made big money at box office with his debut film itself!

''Jai Ho' failed to live upto the expectations and it was 'Gunday' which proved to be the big earner in 1st quarter. But it was sleeper hit of the year 'Queen' and horrex 'Ragini MMS 2' which surprised one and all with excellent numbers. Now Akshay Kumar came back after disappointing 2013 and 'Holiday - A Soldier Is Never Off Duty' made killing over weekend. Film jumped big on Sunday and then ultimately crossed coveted 100 cr nett in 15 days.

New release 'Humshakals' collected big 40 cr nett plus over weekend despite negative reviews and this was 4th best weekend of 2014. But now comes the big surprise. No one gave 'Ek Villain' a chance to score such big numbers at box office. Film collected huge 50.70 c rnett over weekend which was only 2nd to Salman Khan starrer which was released in 1500 more screens, no doubt this is a monstrous hit.
