PK Had Fantastic Weekend
2014 proved to be a bad year at box office for Hindi film industry and after disastrous November and half of December, Aamir Khan starrer ''PK'' was the only hope for survival for exhibitors. Though film has taken a good start but that big growth is not there which should be the case on day two. And yes on Sunday film has taken a solid start.
Film has collected 26.63 cr nett on day one which was fair number but considering hype, cast and expectations this is strictly good. Film needed big jump in next two days but except urban centers and metros, mass centers are lagging behind.
Film started yesterday on similar note but there was 20% drop in Rajasthan, 45% in Gujarat and 30% in NCR. This was normal Saturday trend but film never grew in single screens and mass areas. There was drop in UP, Gujarat and Bihar. Overall multiplex growth managed to subside it but verdict is emerging clear. Film collected 30.34 cr nett on day two which was good but not great.
Film has taken an almost unbelievable start on Sunday and film was running to capacity in metros all over. Today was a huge day for the film and it had close to 70% occupancy all over which took numbers around 33-35 cr nett considering there was drop in evening shows especially in north.
As per early estimates, film should collect 38.24 cr nett today which takes weekend total to 95.21 cr nett. This is a huge total considering non holiday weekend and film will cross 100 cr nett mark by end of tomorrow easily. Going by the positive word of mouth, film will have steady weekdays and it should target 165-170 cr nett in week one.
