FUGLY Had Below Average Day One
''Fugly'' was never expected to take a big start but rather decent start was expected going by the hit songs and youth theme. But film opened to shocking numbers and expected growth in the evening was missing.
''Fugly'' was close to 15% in morning and then it grew to only 35% across the board by evening which was poor. North was better due to local flavor but rest of India did not look well. As per early trends, even 1.50 cr nett number looked difficult but better occupancies in late evening shows ensured that film managed 2.95 cr nett on day one.
Film needs big jump over weekend in order to register at box office. Worrisome factor is that film has not great word of mouth and that is why big jumps look difficult.
Other new releases ''18.11'', ''Machli Jal Ki Rani Hai'', ''Chal Bhaag'' and ''Unforgettable'' were washout. None of these film will touch 15 lakhs nett day one. Hollywood release ''How To Train Dragon 2'' was better in metros.
