WAITING And PHOBIA Had Healthy Growth Over Weekend But On Lower Levels, VEERAPPAN Remains Flat

All Bollywood films bite the dust and only one small Hollywood film managed to beat them with ease. Now this scenario has become common with every passing week. ''Angry Birds'' has beaten handful of Bollywood releases with some margin on Friday though ''Phobia'' and ''Waiting'' did show super growth.

''Phobia'' managed to garner good reviews but film collected very poor 20 lakhs nett on day one. But reviews made its figure swell on 2nd day with 100% growth. Film collected 40 lakhs nett on Saturday. Film again grew on Sunday by 50% and collected 90 lakhs nett. Film has weekend total of 1.50 cr nett and steady weekdays can take it to 2.50-3 cr nett 1st week.

''Waiting'' never had chance though good reviews and growth in evening took it to 27 lakhs nett and it grew by 100%. It collected 48 lakhs nett on Saturday and it added 55 lakhs nett n Sunday. Film has weekend total of 1.30 cr nett. Steady weekdays can take it to 2.50 cr nett 1st week.

''Veerappan'' was widest release so it managed 1.77 cr nett but even that was poor. Film did not grow at all with almost similar numbers of 1.96 cr nett on 2nd day followed by flat Sunday of 2.20 cr only. Film has 5.95 cr nett weekend and will drop on weekdays which means will struggle to cross 12 cr nett. Flop!
