'If Race 3 Was Too Bad It Wouldn't Have Worked At The Box Office,' Bobby Deol Explains
Box Office India Trade Network

RACE 3 had a low second week of 24.75 crore nett and took its two week business to 164.75 crore nett which is a decent total but RACE 3 should have covered this in the first week. The drop in the second week is a huge 82% when it needed to be 70-75% on a worst case which would have taken it to the 200 crore nett mark or thereabouts

The second week collections are better than JAI HO which was another Salman Khan underperformer a few years back. They are also better than PREM RATAN DHAN PAYO which was a HIT film and RACE 3 has been rejected by the audience totally which was not the case with JAI HO or PREM RATAN DHAN PAYO.

The collections of RACE 3 till date are as follows.
Week One - 1,39,97,00,000
Week Two - 24,75,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 1,64,72,00,000 apprx

The plus for the film is the business in UP and Bihar and without these markets the film could have capitulated in the second week which was a likely scenario considering the rejection.

The film has done almost 30% of its all India business in UP and Bihar in its second week when the norm is 15% in these two areas. The downer is Mysore and Tamil Nadu / Kerala but that is sort of expected when a Salman Khan film goes wrong. These two markets prefer Aamir Khan or Shah Rukh Khan or even Hrithik Roshan.
