Bollywood Box-office collections
April 5th 2011 11:15
There are many accusations that box office in India is very obscure and little real data is available but this is not the case today. No doubt it is not an open book as in the West but it is not as bad as it is made out to be. A case can be made that figures were hard to access 10 years ago but today they are more readily available today amd most of people who track box office in the industry have actual figures.
Faltu Has Good Weekend Game Is Disaster
Faltu has done very well at the box office over its first weekend. The film has collected a good 10-10.50 crore nett as per early estimates over the first three days. The collections do not tell the whole story as the film has lost 5-6 crore nett due to the cricket. Firstly on Saturday the collections were down heavily due to the match and then on Sunday, there was the after win affect with collections 15-20% lower than what they normally would have been.
A normal weekend and Faltu would have picked up around 16 crore nett which would have been a fantastic total for the film. Faltu may remain very steady on Monday due to the lost business over the weekend.
Game is a horrific disaster with collections around 2.50 crore nett over its first weekend. The film lost around 1.50 crore nett because of the cricket but it would have made no difference to final outcome.
