Sarabjit has fared poorly on its opening day with collections of 2.75-3 crore nett. The film is a little better in Delhi and East Punjab but even there opening day collections are well below the mark. The collections in places like Maharashtra, Nizam / Andhra and CP Berar were a disaster. Nizam / Andhra had a big Telugu release but it would not have made much difference even if it was not there.
The Hollywood release X men - Apocalypse has also not fared well. The opening was not that good though better than Sarabjit and it has not improved much in the evening. The film will be around the 4 crore nett mark on its first day.
The good run of Hollywood big budget films seems to have ended abruptly after the phenomenal Jungle Book and Captain America - Civil and Batman v Superman also doing pretty well. X Men - Apocalypse is a an action super hero so its likely to be front loaded and will find it tough going after the weekend. .
Sarabjit also has an uphill task as it has to grow at least 50% on Saturday. This is hard but the big Saturday growth has happened with content films in the recent past so its fate will probably be decided by the Saturday number.
