Bang Bang (hindi) grossed 21 crore nett approx in week two to take its two week business to 133.50 crore nett. the Tamil and Telugu versions will gross around 6 crore nett in terms of lifetime business which is well below what Krrish 3 did last year.
The drop from the first seven days of last week is a huge 80%. The third week has continued the trend and seen another big drop. The film has not found any appreciation in mass centres with business in Gujarat, UP, Rajasthan, CP Berar, and CI being low. The business in Gujarat is not even average and due to this Mumbai circuit is struggling to hit even the 40 crore nett mark.
This will be the last week that Bang Bang has a fair amount of screenings before Happy New Year releases and 140 crore nett is looking a best case scenario for the film.
Haider grossed around 10.50 crore nett taking its two week total to around 46.50 crore nett. The drop from the first seven days was around 68% which is reasonable. The film has not found much appreciation from the paying public apart from a small minority niche audience. The centres which are dominated by premium multiplexes have done better.
The best business is in the Delhi NCR area with Mumbai circuit being a let down by Bang Bang. There will not be much difference in the final business in Mumbai and Delhi/UP as Gujarat is very low and for good business in Mumbai circuit today, Gujarat has to perform.
Haider is probably looking at a 50 crore nett total at the end of the third week and not much will come after due to the release of Happy New Year..
