'Phantom' and 'Drishyam' remained below par despite good content due to slow opening and now big massy entertainer 'Welcome Back' struck big over weekend.
'Welcome Back' released across 3200 screens and there is mix expectation from the film. Few were expecting it to score among masses riding on sequel advantage but due to poorer lead pair film was not expected to do huge biz. Film 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 scored among family audience and that is why it grew substantially from evening onwards. Film had huge day one of 14.35 cr nett on day one which was 3rd best opening of 2015. Saturday was crucial and film passed the test with flying colors.
Film collected 17.05 cr nett on day two which was good 20% jump and this was due to Janmastami holiday and family audience has taken to the film in big way. Film again grew by 17% and collected huge 19.60 cr nett on Sunday. Film had weekend total of 51 cr nett. As expected, film dropped by 55% in urban centers but held well with 40-45% drop in mass centers. Film kept dropping on weekdays and collected 7.52 cr nett on Monday, 6.15 cr nett on Tuesday, 5.05 cr nett on Wednesday and 4.25 cr nett on Thursday. Film collected very good 74.02 cr nett in week one.
Film did not drop much on 2nd Friday and collected 2.61 cr nett with just 30% drop from Thursday. Film jumped on 2nd Saturday and collected 4.38 cr nett followed by 5.41 cr nett on Sunday which means it collected 12.40 cr nett in 2nd weekend. Film had good 2nd Monday and collected 1.70 cr nett with hardly 25% drop form Friday followed by steady 1.45 cr nett on 2nd Tuesday, 1.35 cr nett on Wednesday and 1.75 cr nett on Thursday taking 2nd week total to 18.30 cr nett.
Film has total of 92.67 cr nett in 14 days. Film crossed 100 cr worldwide gross in four days. Despite high budget, it seems to heading for safe zone and 100 cr nett looks touch and go. Film also added 21.38 cr (2.1 million $) in 3 days overseas and 29 cr in week one.
