Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai opened to a disappointing response at the box office this morning. The opening was better in pockets of the Mumbai circuit namely Ahmedabad and Pune but the rest of the country showed low collections for first two shows.
The opening was 35-45% in most of the country with Ahmedabad and Pune above 60%. The film was expected to get a good opening due to hit music and good promotion but day one numbers look like disappointing unless it picks up from afternoon shows.
The film's fate will depend on word of mouth and initial reports look good but they will have to translate quickly into better collections on Saturday and Sunday.
Once Upon A Time In Mumbai had another steady on Tuesday with business of 3.25 crore nett. This takes the films total to 27.50 crore nett. The drop was only 10-15% from Monday.
ReplyDeleteThe film is behaving extraordinarily well in Nizam due to the muslim touch in the film and Emraan Hashmi who has a big following in the circuit. Mumbai is also super strong and could end up with a 12-14 crore distributor share.
This weekend the film will see competition in the form of Aisha and may well cut into the business of Once Upon A Time in Mumbai at high end multiplexes of metroes but in the rest of the country, Aisha is unlikely to prove much of a threat.
The second weekend will tell about where the film will a finish up, it may close at 50 crore nett but a solid second weekend may eventually take the lifetime business to 60 crore nett.
