    Mere Brother Ki Dulhan nets Rs 255 mn in opening weekend

    MUMBAI: Mere Brother Ki Dulhan did fairly well in its first weekend to collect Rs 255 million. However, the inevitable drop in collections has been noticed today.

    Bodyguard has been squeezed dry with an extensive release and multiple screenings (as many as 2400 shows between 31 August and 9 September in a town like Ghaziabad) during its first nine days. Released mid-week on Eid (Wednesday, 31 August) it collected Rs 1.15 billion in nine days. The breakup is as follows: Rs 411 million on 31 August and 1 September; Rs 478.5 million over the weekend (2-4 September) and Rs 256.5 million from 5-8 Setpember.

    The collections over the second weekend have tapered down to approximately Rs 160 million and come to a trickle as of today (Monday), with some cinemas reporting poor audience due to lack of repeat value.

    Bol made no impact beyond critical appreciation, collecting just Rs 13.5 million in its first week.

    The Girl In Yellow Boots stays on the lower side with Rs 14 million in its first week.

    Aarakshan tally at the end of four weeks is Rs 379 million.

    Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara‘s eight-week total is Rs 869 million.

    Singham crossed the Rs 1 billion mark at the end of its sixth week run with the total collections being Rs 1.03 billion.

    Murder2‘s total at the end of nine weeks stands at Rs 491.5 million.

  • Salman’s Bodyguard opens strong

    Salman’s Bodyguard opens strong

    MUMBAI: Salman Khan‘s Bodyguard has made the most of Eid-day release with the Ganeshotsav holiday following a day later. The movie collected Rs 411 million in these two days itself.

    The collections softened somewhat on Friday and Saturday to peak again on Sunday to end its five-day weekend with a whopping Rs 889.5 million.

    Made on a production budget of Rs 620 million, the print and promotion cost would peg the total cost of the movie at over Rs 800 million. The smart release strategy has, undoubtedly had a role to play in keeping Reliance Entertainment‘s recent good run going with a worthy grosser in the wake of Singham.

    While Bodyguard may have limited repeat value and show a decline at multiplexes, its collections at single screen are still holding on.

    With its impressive opening overseas and an assured following on satellite and video market, Bodyguard is sure to prove an earner if not a goldmine!

    Shabri with Rs 2.64 million, Yeh Dooriyan with Rs 2.72 million and Chitkabrey with Rs 1.62 million in their first-week run prove poor contenders.

    Aarakshan collected Rs 43 million in its third week to take its total to Rs 372 million.
