    Shootout benefits as Aurangzeb fails to impress

    MUMBAI: Atul Sabharwal‘s directorial debut Aurangzeb has not been appreciated. The opening on the Friday was very average and the film failed to generate better figures during the weekend collecting Rs 12.81 crore for the opening three days.

    I Don‘t Luv U did poor.

    The zombie comedy starring Kunal Khemu, Vir Das and Saif Ali Khan Go Goa Gone found favour with limited few at metro multiplexes as the film collected Rs 18.5 crore in its first week.

    Gippi collected Rs 3.4 crore in its first week.

    Poor oppositions benefited Shootout At Wadala to some extent as the film managed to collect Rs 10.2 crore in its second week taking its two week total to Rs 45 crore.

     Bombay Talkies collected Rs 2.25 crore for its second week taking its two week total to Rs 7.65 crore.

    Chhota Bheem And The Throne Of Bali has added about Rs one crore for its second week taking its two week total to Rs 3.5 crore.

    Aashiqui 2 has emerged as one of the major hit of the year. The film remained strong in its third week with collections of Rs 11.6 crore taking its three week tally to Rs 63.65.

    Olympics and shootout effect dwindle audience in theatres

    MUMBAI: The combination of the Olympics and the Colorado theatre massacre has had a sizeable impact on weekend box office sales that could end 30 per ccent down from last year.
    Twentieth Century Fox‘s high-profile summer comedy The Watch starring Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill and Richard Ayoade opened to a sluggish star with $4.5 million on Friday, well behind the $19 million earned by The Dark Knight Rises on its second Friday. The R-rated film earned a dismal C+ CinemaScore.
    The weekend‘s other new entry is Summit Entertainment‘s 3D dance film Step Up Revolution that grossed $4.9 million to beat The Watch. Step Up 4 earned a B+ CinemaScore.
    Most box office observers predict that The Watch will pull ahead of Step Up 4 and gross in the vicinity between $13 to $15 million range for the weekend, in comparison to $11 to $12 million for the Summit film.
    Heading into the weekend, research firm NRG warned Hollywood studios that 20 to 25 per cent of the movie-going audience were hesitant to see a film this weekend because of the Colorado shooting and the Olympics.
    Though by any measure, Dark Knight Rises continues to do good business, but there is no doubt that the film is leaving business on the table because of the shooting during a midnight screening of the film.
    Comparing Friday over Friday collection, Dark Knight Rises fell 76 per cent, in line with other films that had sizeable midnight earnings on opening day.
