    The weeks releases fail to work at BO, pundits pin hope on Dhoom 3

    MUMBAI: Jackpot, Sachin Joshi’s third attempt at seeking recognition as a film actor, has come to naught. Released at a fair number of screens, the film has remained poor in collections as it has only managed 2.8 crore for its opening weekend. It will be tough to feed the cinema halls Monday onwards.

     

    What The Fish makes its debut with cancelled shows due to no show by audience; an exercise in total loss of money and efforts.

     

    R…. Rajkumar has a face saving first week thanks to its collections from single screens away from metros. The film has collected 41.3 crore in its first week with second week expected to gain some due to poor oppositions.

     

    Club 60 has gone unnoticed.

     

    Bullet Raja continued its poor run in its second week with figures of 2.55 crore taking its two week total to 32.3 crore.

     

    Goliyon Ki Rasleela: Ram-Leela has added 2.85 crore in its fourth week taking its four week total to 103.15 crore.

     

    Singh Saab The Great comes to the end of its run with a three week tally of 273 crore.

     

    Krrish 3 has collected 55 lakh in its sixth week to take its six week total to 175.95 crore.

     

    The exhibition trade pins its hopes on Dhoom 3 to end the year 2013 on a positive note as most films they had hopes from have failed to live up the trade’s expectations. Even the movie lovers are looking forward to this Aamir Khan-YRF offering.

  • Krrish 3 continues its strong run at the BO

    Krrish 3 continues its strong run at the BO

    MUMBAI: Ram Gopal Varma’s attempt at cashing in on the title of his earlier film – Satya – with Satya 2, fails badly. The film is a nonstarter. A poor fare sans face value, the film has been generally ignored by the moviegoer. The film barely managed to cross the one crore mark for its opening weekend.

     

    Krrish 3 makes the most of its one time watch appeal and solo festival week release despite reports not being in its favour. The film’s collections peaked to a high of Rs 31 crore on Monday once the dull period of pre-Diwali and Diwali were over. The film has gone on to collect Rs 120 crore. The open second week is expected to give the film a good follow up looking at the second weekend which has crossed the Rs 30 crore mark.

     

    Micky Virus has added just Rs 50 lakh in its second week to take its two week total to Rs 7.9 crore.
    Boss has collected Rs 40 lakh in its third week to take its three week tally to Rs 52.1 crore.

  • Bullet Raja misses the mark at the BO

    Bullet Raja misses the mark at the BO

    MUMBAI: Bullett Raja based on an outdated premise which a few decades back would have been classified as B-grade stunt movie, has not gone down well with the audience. While the film fared better with the single screen moviegoers, it was not accepted at the multiplexes. The film has collected Rs 19.7 crore for its opening weekend.

     

    Last week’s release, Singh Saab The Great has been below par; its mostly Punjabi lingo and flavour limited its appeal to a region. The film has collected Rs 20.8 crore in its first week with little to hope for in second week.

     

    Gori Tere Pyar Mein too has proved to be a disaster that it was predicted to be. An outdated story told in a patchy style, the film falls flat with poor response from day one. It was not a film worth making. The collections endorse the view. The film has collected a meagre Rs 12.65 crore in its first week.

     

    And though, it didn’t see a great opening, Goliyon Ki Rasleela: Ram Leela has had a decent second week, especially in Bombay Circuit. The film has collected Rs 22.1 crore in its second week with half of it coming from Bombay Circuit.

    Krrish 3 comes to the end of its run with the film collecting just Rs 2.5 crore in its fourth week. The film’s four week tally is Rs 174.3 crore.

  • Superman’s opening flight might cross the $100 mn barrier at the BO

    Superman’s opening flight might cross the $100 mn barrier at the BO

    MUMBAI: Within a week from now, the box office is going to be struck by the Kryptonian capped superhero film, Man of steel. The Superman reboot, has the 300 director Zack Synder at the helm and stars Henry Cavill as Superman, along with Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, Antje Traue, Ayelet Zurer, Jadin Gould, Rebecca Butler and Christopher Meloni in its leading cast.
     
    According to sources, Warner Bros‘ Man of Steel hitting the theatres on June 14 in UK and US should be geared up for a strong $100 million debut at the US box office alone. Given the early buzz on the film has been strong with a healthy marketing campaign spend of over $150 million. Warner Bros has been going into an overdrive in promoting the movie, with 13 TV spots and 4 clips to date, and while the final trailer dropped yesterday, there is likely much more to come over the next seven days, added by a source.
     
    It seems a lot of expectations are riding on the $225 million blockbuster especially with Warner Bros wanting a Justice League film within the next four years. After Christopher Nolan‘s Dark Knight‘s standalone stupendous success at the box office, Warner Bros is all set to re-launch the red capped DC superhero, Superman through Man of Steel, in their attempt to create a wider universe for other superheros as well.
     
    Also with Iron Man 3‘s collections surpassing the $1.2 billion mark, sources expect that the Christopher Nolan produced Man of Steel has a long way to go to compete with the likes of Marvel‘s Mr. Stark.
     
    Still the industry observers look strongly at the reboots imprint on the box office which premiers on June 10 in New York.

  • YJHD set to break records at the BO, opens with Rs 61.25 crore

    YJHD set to break records at the BO, opens with Rs 61.25 crore

    MUMBAI: Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (YJHD) has set the cash registers ringing at the box office with a record-breaking opening day as well as the opening weekend collections. The Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone starrer is on its way to join the illustrious Rs 100 crore club.

    The youthful entertainer is certainly the biggest opener for 2013 thus far by a mile. The film released in over 3,000 screens in the country with an earth-shattering response and its occupancy ranging between 95 per cent and 100 per cent in both single screens and multiplexes on Friday. With its positive reviews and good word of mouth, the movie showed a very good jump in its business on Saturday and Sunday and has been received well by the critics and audiences alike.

    The mammoth sized promotional events, guest appearances and performances on TV shows, brand associations and the works have done exceedingly well for it.

    Kapoor has created a solid fan following among the youth and second time writer-director, Ayan Mukerji, helped keep his fans happy.

    An extensive solo release backed by enhanced admission rates, has certainly accelerated the film‘s collection to rake in a handsome Rs 61.25 crore. The practice of reducing admission rates from Monday has been applied only at a select few outlets; this coupled with steady Monday, the film looks set to touch the 100 crore mark in real quick time.

    Ishkq In Paris, Preity Zinta‘s debut production venture has passed generally unnoticed, collecting about Rs 2 crore in its first week.

    Hum Hai Rahi Car Ke and Zindagi 50 50 found no takers and performed poorly.

    The Arjun Kapoor starrer Aurangzeb has collected a total of Rs 23.85 crore at the end of its second week.

    Go Goa Gone, the ‘zomcom‘ starring Saif Ali Khan, Kunal Khemu and Vir Das has collected Rs 1.8 crore in its third week to take its three week tally to Rs 24.95 crore.

    Shootout At Wadala, the sequel to the 2007 hit Shootout At Lokhandwala has added Rs 1.1 crore for the fourth week to take its four week tally to Rs 49.1 crore.

    Chhota Bheem And The Throne Of Bali in its fourth week has added Rs 40 lakh to take its four week total to Rs 4.65 crore.

    Aashiqui 2 is going rock steady. The film collected Rs 5.5 crore in its fifth week thus taking its five week total to Rs 76.65 crore, certainly proving to be the sleeper hit of the year.

    BO: Kai Po Che picks up pace over weekend

    MUMBAI: Abhishek Kapoor’s directorial venture Kai Po Che, which opened low and with mixed reports, picked up well over the weekend to collect Rs 168 million for the opening three days. This is generally on the patronage by multiplex audience as at places with single screens shows had to be cancelled due to lack of audience.

     

    Sanjay Dutt and Vivek Oberoi starrer Zila Ghaziabad did not fare as well and managed to collect Rs 104 million in its opening weekend.

     

    The Bhatt camp’s latest offering Murder 3 found little appreciation and resulted in a below average first week with collections of 171.5 million.

     

    Vivek Oberoi’s slack run at the box office continued as his second release this month, Jayantabhai KI Love Story, continued to do poorly. The film managed to collect just about Rs 25 million in its first week.

     

    Special 26 maintained steady collections in its second week to collect Rs 183 million, taking its box-office total to Rs 601 million.

     

    ABCD: Any Body Can Dance held well in its second week to collect Rs 91 million. Its two-week total is Rs 369 million.

     

    Race 2 added Rs 11 million in its fourth week to have box office collections of Rs 975.3 million so far, just shy of being the first movie in 2013 to cross the Rs one billion mark.

  • Hollywood films relegating Chinese films at BO

    Hollywood films relegating Chinese films at BO

    MUMBAI: Box office collection of Hollywood films in China continues to surge but local media say it‘s “embarrassing” that local films barely figure in the top 10.
    Box office in the Country grew 35 per cent in the first half of year to 7.74 billion yuan ($1.22 billion), and nine of the top 10 titles were from outside China. Foreign films look likely to continue to reap the lion‘s share of Chinese BO thanks to the recently increased quota for imports of premium films.
    The highest-grossing film so far this year, according to Chinese media reports, was the 3D release of Titanic that grossed $153 million; it‘s third on the list of all-time top earners behind Avatar and Transformers: Dark of the Moon.
    With grosses expected to reach $5 billion by 2015, China‘s B.O. total could equal US and Canada‘s $10 billion annually by 2020. Other Hollywood titles in the top 10 included Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol, Battleship, The Avengers and Men in Black 3.
    Though The Hunger Games missed the Chinese top 10, with nearly $25 million after four weeks locally, the film still shows the potential of non-studio films that are usually released outside summer.
    Warner Bros.‘ Wrath of the Titans, that made $25.4 million in China, was the first film to benefit from the country‘s higher revenue-sharing ratio.
