RAGINI MMS 2 had a good first week as it grossed around 37.50 crore nett in week one. The film managed to sustain pretty well over the weekdays especially outside the metros. The business in big cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Kolkata is not as strong as smaller cities gut pretty good for this genre.

 The only place where the film has not performed well is Bangalore which has meant that Mysore circuit has seen an under performance. Normally the genre struggles in the North due to the huge presence of premium multiplexes but the Baby Doll song ensured footfalls in North as well.


The film will see competition in week two from three new releases but its hold is pretty good in some areas which should ensure the film gets around 50 crore nett for lifetime business.
--------------
QUEEN grossed an excellent 12.07 crore nett in its third week taking its three week business to 50.74 crore nett. The third week figures are the highest of 2014 by a distance as JAI HO grossed around 3.75 crore nett and Gunday 2.25 crore nett.

The film has surpassed the business of multiplex films like HASEE TOH PHASEE, HIGHWAY and SHAADI KE SIDE EFFECRS by leaps and bounds. The film is really scoring well in Mumbai city, Delhi NCR, East Punjab and Bangalore though its run in smaller cities is coming to an end.

The fourth week should also see good numbers. There are not many films that hold collections into week four and it could be that QUEEN comes out with a fourth week that is amongst the highest ever.
-------------------------
RAGINI MMS 2 was still the top film this week as it collected around 1.25-1.50 crore nett on its 8th day. The film had a higher collection than DISHKIYAOON, O TERI and YOUNGISTAAN on their first days but there has been a drop due to the loss of screenings.

The drop is 80% plus from day one but it should grow well over the weekend especially as the new releases don't look like making a mark. The film should still see a 50 crore nett lifetime total despite the drop.

QUEEN dropped around 50% from its last Friday as it grossed around 60-70 lakhs nett on its fourth Friday. The film will show the highest growth out of all the releases this week but with this drop the 60 crore nett total might be out of its reach.
