MALEFICENT And BLENDED Had Average Week One
Last week of IPL and small releases were trying to take benefit of lean period. Two Bollywood films, two Hollywood films and few big regional films released that weekend. ''X Men'' had good run but two rather niche releases ''Blended'' and ''Maleficent'' also had average run.
''Blended'' was never expected to open big as this was niche urban comedy targeted only on metros with limited release. On expected lines, film collected 20 lakhs nett on Friday, 25 lakhs on Saturday and 35 lakhs on Sunday. Film added 25 lakhs on weekdays. Film collected 1.05 cr nett week one and as per release size film did average numbers.
''Maleficent'' was never expected to open and that is what happened. Film collected close to 1.15 cr nett (25 lakhs on Friday, 40 lakhs on Saturday and 50 lakhs) in 3 days which is decent but not great. Film was helped by star appeal of Angelina Jolieand Disney brand. Film added 60 lakhs on weekdays and collected 1.75 cr nett in week one.
