RUSTOM Crosses 100 Cr Nett In 9 Days
This week box office saw a clash which had two contrasting films. Akshay Kumar starrer 'Rustom' and Hrithik Roshan starrer 'Mohenjodaro' are fighting out at box office and as expected by pre release buzz, Akshay has won this clash by some margin.
'Rustom' was ahead in East Punjab, UP, Mumbai and central India. Film was super solid in multiplexes and even not so strong circuits for Akshay Kumar like Mysore, Nizam were very good for the film. Film collected around 14.11 cr nett on day one which was good considering release size and clash factor.
As predicted by us, film grew by close to 18-20% on 2nd day and collected 16.43 cr nett. Film witnessed further growth on Sunday and collected 19.88 cr nett. Film has weekend total of 50.42 cr nett and as expected it had big independence day holiday. Film was affected due to clash but managed very good 17.81 cr nett which was 10% less than Sunday.
Film was super strong on Tuesday with less than 45% drop. Film added 7.67 cr nett on Tuesday. Film was good on Wednesday with 6.38 cr nett. Film grew again on Thursday due to Raksha Bandhan and collected 9.62 cr nett.
Film collected superb 90.90 cr nett in 1st week which is 2nd highest of this year after ''Sultan'' and highest ever for Akshay Kumar. Film remained strong on 2nd Friday depsite losing the screens and collected 4.41 cr nett on 2nd Friday and followed it by big jump with 5.77 cr nett on Saturday. Film will jump over weekend and should collect 16-18 cr nett.
Film has 9-days total of 101.08 cr nett which is superb. It is 3rd 100 cr grosser this year for Akshay Kumar and can challenge highest Akshay Kumar grosser 'Rowdy Rathore' depending on 2nd weekend biz though it should comfortably cross 124 cr nett of 'Airlift'. Film added 1.24 million $ (8.30 cr) on opening day in overseas with healthy biz in UAE-GCC (4.3 cr in two days). Film has weekend collection of 23 cr plus in overseas and 90 cr worldwide gross followed by 153 cr worldwid egross in 1st week. Film added 3.77 million $ (25.40 cr) in 1st week.
