Box Office Analysis Of SHOOTOUT AT WADALA
"Shootout At Wadala" opened to good response though film failed to grow over the weekend in big way but film generated all kind of opinions from different quarters. Things turned ugly when Director Sanjay Gupta had abusive spat on twitter regarding fate of the film.

We got queries on mail, twitter and facebook asking about film''s real result at box office. We went deeper and got following numbers from trade regarding film''s price and income.

*Mumbai/Saurashtra territory was not sold so does not feature in the list
* These are minimum expected loss to distributors if film trend well and collects 15-20 cr nett in 2nd week and 60-65 cr lifetime.
Film is biggest non holiday A rated opener, film is biggest solo John opener at box office and more weirdly crafted punches thrown at audience in order to make the wrong impression. But truth is that film remained below average at box office and many distributors will struggle to even break even.
One needs to understand that distributor don''t put money in films to break even as that is also a bad result for them unless there is at least marginal profits. So next time there is a film success party, read between lines!
