Ra.One is not a hit because it's distributors suffered losses, plus to be a hit you have to make certain profits which the film clearly didn't.
Don 2's budget might be 65-70 crore, but what matters is at what cost it was sold to the distributors. So if it was sold at 110 crore, that is what it has to make again to at least remain average.
Posting an artilcle about it which says chances are it will end up average or a flop.
Divided opinion on fate of 'Don 2'
While some trade pundits feel that the film will not break even, others are more upbeat about the fate of King Khan starrer
It's been four days since SRK starrer Don 2 released and while the producers and distributors of the movie are optimistic about making money, the trade is skeptical. A section maintains that the drop on Monday wasn't as bad as it normally is; another section feels the numbers are just not good enough.
Shah Rukh Khan in Don 2
Veteran trade analyst Amod Mehra points out that the Farhan Akhtar directed movie hasn't been appreciated. "The collections on Saturday were lesser.
That's a bad sign. Sunday should have seen a huge jump, but that wasn't the case. The numbers are decent. While this Monday has been better than other Mondays, it's a tall order for the film to make Rs 110 crore," he says, admitting that, at most, the film will break even. "But again, that's not good enough."
Trade sources peg the three-day numbers at about Rs 44 crore, while Reliance, which is distributing the film, maintains earning Rs 48.5 crore, including Rs 1.5 crore from the Tamil and Telugu dubbed versions. It is learnt that the Anil Ambani owned entertainment company acquired Don 2 from Excel Entertaiment for Rs 80 odd crore.
"Add to that about Rs 10 crore for conversion to 3D and Rs18 crore on print and advertising, which sums up the cost of Rs 108 crore to Reliance," reveals a trade source on condition of anonymity.
Delhi-based distributor, Sanjay Ghai of Mukta Arts Ltd too is optimistic about Don 2 making money. "No other film releasing this Friday and the ongoing Christmas vacations should benefit the movie. Going by the collections of the first three days, I think total theatrical numbers will touch Rs 100 crore," he points out.
However, a Central India based distributor, who didn't wish to be named, argued that Reliance will break even on the basis of the R 36 crore they earned from satellite rights and Rs 10 crore from music.
"It's particularly bad in single screens, which is important for a film to become a hit. Making profit on the movie seems impossible at this point in time," he said.
Sharing his opinion is the Mumbai-based head honcho of a multiplex chain. Declining to be named, he pointed out that Tuesday's numbers would be even lower.
"The weekend numbers are below expectations," he observes. "Thanks to satellite and music rights, Reliance might break even. But making money on Don 2, to borrow from the words of the protagonist, 'mushkil hi nahin, naamumkin lagta hai'," he concludes.

Koimoi.com Editor Komal Nahta explains the economics of Shah Rukh Khan's Don 2, which hit theatres on December 23, 2011, in India. A Koimoi exclusive.
All rights sold to Reliance Entertainment | Rs. 80 crore |
Add: Subsidy expected from German government | Rs. 15 crore |
Total revenues | Rs. 95 crore |
Less: Cost of production (excluding Shah Rukh Khan's remuneration) | Rs. 65 crore |
Profit to Producers | Rs. 30 crore |
This means the three producers (Farhan Akhtar, Ritesh Sidhwani and Shah Rukh Khan) have already made a profit of Rs. 30 crore.
Cost of acquisition of worldwide distribution rights | Rs. 80 crore |
Add: Cost of 3D conversion, promotion, prints and release | Rs. 25 crore |
Add: Cost of money (interest; since a huge amount of acquisition cost was paid in advance) | Rs. 5 crore |
Total cost | Rs. 110 crore |
Satellite rights | Rs. 36 crore |
Music right | Rs. 9 crore |
Overseas theatrical business (expected) | Rs. 25 crore (minimum; of this revenues of about Rs. 15 crore have already come in from pre-sale of rights of some parts of Overseas circuit) |
India theatrical business (expected) | Rs. 52 crore (minimum) |
Total revenues | Rs. 122 crore |
India theatrical business (expected)Rs. 52 crore (minimum)Total revenues Rs. 122 crore
Therefore, the profit in the hands of Reliance Entertainment will be a minimum of Rs. 12 crore (Rs. 122 crore minus Rs. 110 crore). If the film scores better in Overseas and India, the profit could go upto Rs. 20 crore. The return on investment would, therefore, be a minimum of 11 per cent and it could go upto 19.8 per cent. In filmi parlance, this would be termed a Commission Earner in the hands of Reliance Entertainment. For the sake of clarity, any film which earns more than 20 per cent on the investment is termed an Overflow film.
Note: The above figures are very close to actuals where deals have been finalised and very fair estimates (on the lower side) where revenues are still to be generated.
