PK Jumps On 3rd Saturday
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. But film scored big week and yesterday film became highest grosser in history of Bollywood.
Film has collected 182.58 cr nett in week one which was outstanding number and this is 2nd highest week one number after ''Dhoom 3''. Film scored big numbers in Mumbai and that is why despite low Friday film managed to cross all other releases.
Film had humongous record breaking 2nd week as film collected 95.50 cr nett plus which is just 50% drop after such big week one. This 2nd week total record will be toughest to beat in years to come. Film has broken lifetime territory records too in Mumbai, Delhi/UP, East Punjab, CP, CI and Mysore.
Film held strongly on 3rd Friday as film retained close to 2800 screens. Film collected close to 6.69 cr nett with drop of 55% from last Friday. Film jumped again on 3rd Saturday and collected 8.32 cr nett. Film is set for 25 cr nett 3rd weekend which mean record 3rd week in the range of 40 cr nett is on the card.
Film has total of 294 cr nett plus and thus film is set to cross 300 cr nett today evening which will be 1st in Bollywood history. Film has such an acceptance that at places it might effect new release 'Tevar' next week too despite being in 4th week.
Film will finish with 325-330 cr nett lifetime business and this record should be there for few years like last Hirani's film '3 Idiots'. Rajkumar Hirani has proved again that content is king. Even with average music, simple marketing and ordinary promos, a film can win classes, masses critics and box office. Power to good cinema!
Film also collected 130 cr in 14 days in overseas and it seems that film will cross 145 - 150 cr there too by the end of run as film will get boost from new year holidays.
