GODZILLA Had Strictly Average Week One
Bollywood films are tanking at box office for last couple of weeks. Hollywood films are dominating box office and ''Godzilla'' tried its luck last week at box office with wide release in almost 1600 screens. Film had fairly good weekend at box office but drop on weekdays meant a rather average week one.
''Godzilla'' took rather underwhelming start on Friday and collected 5 cr nett which was good but not great considering cost, hype and release size. Film was expected to grow on Saturday and that is what happened. Film collected 6.25 cr nett on Saturday which was growth 25%.
Film added 6.75 cr nett on Sunday which was good. Film dropped on Monday and collected 2 cr nett and 1.90 cr nett on Tuesday followed by 1.80 cr nett on Wednesday and 1.70 cr nett on Thursday. Film has collected 25.40 cr nett in 7 days and that means film is heading for 30-32 cr nett lifetime number.
Film needs good 2nd week and anything close to 35-37 cr nett lifetime is required to make this film a break even proposition which looks difficult at the moment. Film will face ''X - Men'' franchise next week in addition to big Bollywood and south releases. .
Film was sold around 18 cr on all India basis and 10 cr for Delhi/Mumbai circuit to Stellar films. It will be difficult to recover investment for the investors.
