FAN Total Box Office Collections in 2 days
FAN hasn't performed upto expectations on Day 2 at the box office. As per early estimates, the Shah Rukh Khan starrer has collected around Rs 16.5 - 17 crore on Saturday.
The film is not holding up at smaller centres, with some of these centres registering falls in the range of 25 - 35% on Saturday. Multiplexes business was comparatively much better, but the big jump that word-of-mouth' films show on Saturday was clearly missing.
It was a partial holiday for FAN on Friday (Day 1), which gave the collections a boost of around 20-25% on the opening day. On Saturday, FAN was expected to hold on to Friday levels and any growth would have been a clear indication that the film had managed to find appreciation with its target audience.
The problem for FAN is, the business of the film is dependent on major cities and at these centres the word-of-mouth is mixed - when it should have been extraordinary, like with films like Airlift, Neerja and Kapoor & Sons. The critics have given the film a big thumbs up, but on the ground level, exhibitors have a completely different story to tell.
It remains to be seen where FAN goes from here. The film needs a big jump of 30-40% on Sunday to take the weekend business above and beyond the 55 crore mark and closer to the 60 crore mark - which would make it a fair first weekend at the domestic box office.
