TE3N Struggles And DO LAFZON KI KAHANI Flops, THE CONJURING 2 Scores Strong Day One
Bollywood films are struggling against Hollywood films. This year has marked arrival of Hollywood films in big way as ''The Jungle Book'' and ''Captain America'' did solid business and former broke the 175 cr nett barrier. Now 2nd installment of biggest Hollywood horror film in India arrived against couple of Bollywood films.
''Te3n'' has widest release today across 1150 screens in India and 325 screens in overseas. Film has impressive cast and has decent buzz among multiplex audience. Film was never expected to open big as promo and Kolkata feel limit the appeal. Film opened to 15% occupancy and though it improved from evening onwards in few regions but overall it remained poor. Film collected 2.80 cr nett on day one. Now it needs huge jump today and tomorrow in order to touch at least 12-13 cr nett weekend mark.
''Do Lafzon Ki Kahani'' was never expected to open well and it opened to 5% occupancy with poor 90 lakhs nett on day one. Randeep Hooda has given some terrific performances and at the same time terrible performance at box office. This one will also flop like his earlier films i.e. ''Rang Rasiya'', ''Laal Rang'', ''Sarbjit'' and ''John Day''.
''The Conjuring 2'' was expected to open big and that is what happened. Film opened to close to 40% occupancy. Film crossed 4.50 cr nett on opening day. Film is a sure shot hit and good run over weekend can take it to 17 cr nett. Another glory for Hollywood film!
