Friday, 4th September 11:55 AM ISTWELCOME BACK Has Decent Opening, TRANSPORTERS Is AverageThere is not much business from releases in last few week at box office as no film managed great business post 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan'. 'Phantom' and 'Drishyam' remained below par despite good content due to slow opening and now big massy entertainer 'Welcome Back' arrives.
'Welcome Back' released today across 3200 screens and there is mix expectation from the film. Few are expecting it to score among masses riding on sequel advantage but due to poorer lead pair film is not expected to do huge biz. Film has opened to average reviews and anyways such films purely depends on reaction among masses.
Film took a decent to average start at box office all over and occupancy is around 30%-35%. Film will score among family audience and that is why some sort of growth is expected from evening onwards. A good day one is guaranteed and going by the trends, film should cross 14-15 cr nett on day one and this can go up if growth is across the board.
Another Hollywood release 'Transporters Refueled' released today and it is expected to score with limited audience only as main face Jason Statham is not there this time around. Film should score decent day one.
Rest of the releases 'Lakhon Hai Yahan Dilwale', and 'Tu Hi Re' opened to zero occupancy.
