Aamir Khan's PK and Shahrukh Khan's Happy New Year were two of the most anticipated movies of 2014. While the former took a slow start at the box office on its opening day, Farah Khan's Diwali release opened to packed houses across the country.
The comparison is interesting because both films had a similar release - PK had higher number of shows at multiplexes and also the average ticket price was about 10-12% higher. Happy New Year on the other hand, had two holidays in its first weekend (Sunday included), Saturday was also a holiday in parts of the country and it had a slightly wider single-screen release.
Interestingly, while Happy New Year went on to collect just 4.5 times its first day business (204.83 divided by 44.97 = 4.55), PK has already collected 4.37 times its first day collections (116.43 divided by 26.63 = 4.37). The Aamir Khan starrer, which is probably carrying the best word-of-mouth for any film released this year, could go on to do more than 10 times its first day business!
In 4 days, Happy New Year had collected 123.87 crore, while PK is trailing with collections of 116.43 crore.
