Good News Has Good First Day
Saturday 28 December 2019 11.30 ISTBox Office India Trade Network


Good Newwz collected 17.50 crore nett on day one as the collections picked up in the evening. There was alittle hit in UP due to the protests and so collections are a little lower than the earlier estimates. The film has done huge very strong business in Delhi NCR and East Punjab.
The evenings picked up well in all metros as the morning collections did look a little lower which means there should be solid growth today and maybe it could even make ground where it has been hit due to protests in UP. The film has not been hit as bad as Dabangg 3 like last week but there is a hit.
The low collections have come in Gujarat / Saurashtra, Bihar and Nizam / Andhra and here the film has the potential to pick up well especially Nizam / Andhra. UP is low because of protests but these two are low as the film does not have much initial value due being a North based film and an urban comedy.
Akshay Kumar has already three HITS behind him this year and this one has a good chance to become the fourth as collections should show a solid weekend and then there is a holiday factor till the end of the year to push the film till Wednesday. The East Punjab ratio has come in high at almost 15% probably as the presecnce of Diljit Dosanjh helped the film here by around 60-70 lakhs.
Top Twenty Opening Days - Good Newwz 11th
Saturday 28 December 2019 11.30 ISTBox Office India Trade Network


Good Newwz had the 11th highest day of the year with around 50 lakh loss due to the pretesting in UP. Its so solid number for a film which barring Akshay Kumar and the music does not have much initial value as the film is in that urban zone. If we take out the holiday factor then the initial is pretty much in teh Mission mangal range. It is also same range as Housefull 4 but that was hit badly by Pre - Diwali.
There is a record opening this year with War and Bharat also going above 40 crore nett and there are 15 films with an opening of over 10 crore nett which is a record but still the Friday initials have been pretty disappointing as most films sjould really have opened higher than they have. This can be seen by the fact that the Saturday growth is far higher now than it was a few years back. The top twenty opening days of the year are as follows.
1. War (Hindi) - 50,61,00,000 (National holiday)
