Salman's WANTED beats Aamir-Asin starrer GHAJINI!
The much hyped Eid battle between Salman Khan's WANTED and the Shahid-Rani starrer, DIL BOLE HADPPA, is turning out to be quite one-sided in favour of WANTED. In fact WANTED has now started smashing some of the records of the All Time Blockbuster, Aamir Khan's GHAJINI.

This Monday saw WANTED netting around 7.35 crore from India, which is more than the corresponding total of GHAJINI on its first Monday. Not only that, on Tuesday WANTED once again netted around 6 crores, which is just about the same as that of GHAJINI at the same juncture
Of course the collections of GHAJINI were much higher than WANTED, during the first weekend, but what should be kept in mind is that GHAJINI had released during the Christmas festival and winter vacations, while WANTED released during the lean fasting period of Ramzaan and Navratra. So, the stats cannot be compared.

However one way or the other, we are sure that Aamir Khan will be very happy with his friend's scintillating comeback via WANTED.

The Craze Of Wanted


Thursday 24th September 2009 16.30 IST

Boxofficeindia.Com Trade Network


Wanted is a craze across many centres in the country. The first week business of Wanted in Bihar will be around 1.20 crore nett which will be a new circuit record beating the 1.12 crore nett (8days) of Ghajini. In other small circuits like Assam and Orissa it may also set new highs. In Orissa the film is a rage with collections nearly three times higher than regular big films apart from Ghajini. Many B+C centres in CP Berar, Ci, Rajasthan and Nizam are also showing higher collections than Ghajini.

The craze of the film can be put into perspective with the collections below. Normally a hit film shows 50% of its Friday collections on Wednesday but Wanted is showing similar or even better figures at many centres outside the metroes.

Lucknow

Friday - 6.38 lakhs

Wednesday - 7.66 lakhs

Varanasi

Friday - 2.63 lakhs

Wednesday - 3.07 lakhs

Indore

Friday - 7.55 lakhs

Wednesday - 6.20 lakhs

Lucknow and Varanasi are A grade centres of UP while Indore is an A grade centre of CI. The B and C centres of UP, Bihar, CP Berar, CI, Rajasthan, Nizam, Assam and Orissa are just phenomenal to put it mildly.

U welcome Rhea...more great news below:

Finally Wanted gets what Salman deserves ..


We never saw it since Ghajini and even Ghajini was sole exception, Tremendous business over weekdays is just going over the head of Trade analyst, Wanted was predicted At most 28-30 Crore first week on Sunday evening and even was written as Above average/SemiHit by some over smart trade portals because they were thinking Wanted should proceed by general trending i.e. 50% Drop over weekdays.

But Wanted has done which no other movie in this decade dares to do. It follows the exceptional business path, extraordinary trending, It look like Wanted is enjoying whole week as weekend. Just look at trending

Friday (6.25 Crore)

Saturday (6.75 Crore)

Sunday ( 6.58 Crore)

Monday (7 Crore)

Tuesday ( 5.88 Crore)

If we don't disclose the Days, It would be impossible to guess which actual weekends were. And guys Wednesday also opens to another high collection. This would be Historical. Wanted 5 days Nett collection is 32.46 Crore. And Distribution share is 20 Crore Approx. , Distribution share of 20 Crore in first five days is highest ever after Ghajini. Wanted should be second highest first week Distributor share in this decade.
