QUEEN had a fantastic second weekend as it recorded figures that were similar to its first weekend at around 9.50 crore nett. It is after long time that this happened. The last time this happened was probably VIVAH in 2006 if we don't count the limited 100-200 screen releases.

QUEEN has taken its ten day business to around 28 crore nett and a good trend is expected on the weekdays. It may not be as strong as week one but a holiday on Monday for Holi can compensate for that. .

The second week business will match some of the big releases. JAI HO,  this year's biggest release had grossed 21 crore nett plus in week two and for QUEEN to be just a few crore short of that is fantastic. QUEEN  has chances to hit the 50 crore nett mark and is likely to emerge the first outright hit of the year.
-------------------------
QUEEN continued its fantastic run on its second Monday as it collected around 2.75-3 crore nett due to a holiday for Holi on Monday. The effect of Holi was more pronounced in some areas than others.

The business of Queen is now around the 31 crore nett mark and the second week actually has chances to surpass the first week. Even if it doesn't, the business at worst will be near or on par with the business of week one. This is a rare occurrence in the multiplex era.

QUEEN has been aided by the fact that BEWAKOOFIYAAN has not done well and the competition around it has been weak as compared to other multiplex films like HASEE TOH PHASEE, HIGHWAY and SHAADI KE SIDE EFFECTS. But that would have made a difference of around 10-20% and its still an achievement as the film has gone from a less than 2 crore nett first day and now looking at a 50 crore nett plus lifetime business.
