SARBJIT continued with low collections on Tuesday though it was steady. The five day business of SARBJIT is as follows.
Friday - 3,00,00,000
Saturday - 4,00,00,000
Sunday - 4,75,00,000
Monday - 2,00,00,000
Tuesday - 2,00,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 15,75,00,000
The first week is heading towards 19 crore nett. This is the same range as films like ROCKY HANDSOME and SANAM RE and though the follow up business will be better than those films. Yet, it hardly makes any difference to the final outcome of the film.
-----------------------
SARBJIT and the Hollywood release X-MEN: APOCALYPSE fared badly in week one with collections of 19 crore nett for SARBJIT and 23 crore nett for X-MEN: APOCALYPSE. Both films could not open well with X-MEN: APOCALYPSE having the edge but in the weekdays SARBJIT had the better holds.
SARBJIT has done best in Delhi/UP and East Punjab but even here collections are weak. Delhi/UP is around 5.50 crore nett for the week aided by entertainment tax exemption. East Punjab grossed 3 crore nett and considering the regional content of the film, the number should have been better.
SARBJIT will mainly do business in Delhi/UP and East Punjab after week one with possibly over 50% business coming from these two circuits. Mumbai despite being a bigger circuit than Delhi/UP has grossed less.
X-MEN: APOCALYPSE is poor but the writing was on the wall on day one as these films are front loaded and a 4 crore nett plus start was not going to take it anywhere.
