2.0 (Hindi) scored a huge Sunday with collections going to around 33 crore nett apprx. The four day weekend of the film is 95 crore nett apprx which is huge number for this film. The families have really come out over Saturday and Sunday.
The film did start slow in some areas on Friday but by Sunday its doing very well across the board. The film is missing business in the South due to the Tamil and Telugu version and if it was a normal Hindi film then it would be a 105 crore nett extended weekend. The ticket prices have also not been hiked for this film like it was for RACE 3, SANJU and THUGS OF HINDOSTAN.
The first three day collections of 2.0 (Hindi) are as follows
Thursday - 20,00,00,000 apprx
Friday - 18,00,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 24,00,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 33,25,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 95,25,00,000 apprx
The main worry for a dubbed film is post the first day especially if the dubbed film has a healthy first day number but this film has gone through with flying colors. There is acceptance for the film across all Hindi circuits and now its about the level it holds on the weekdays. A normal Monday hold confirm this film as a HIT.
The film has also done well in Tamil and Telugu in the South but due to the growth in the Hindi versions it is actually the Hindi version which has performed best.
-------------------------------
2.0 (Hindi) is the highest Akshay Kumar opening weekend and that too by a distance as it went through the figures of HOUSEFULL 3 by a margin. The film was a non holiday release and it had about 10% of the Hindi film business missing due to a non release in the South for the Hindi version.
The Akshay Kumar factor is in play in this film as its North India which has out performed for this film. Till date every South dubbed film (be it a success or disaster) has under performed in places like Delhi/UP and East Punjab but here these two markets lead the way. On Sunday they had crazy collections of 7.50 crore nett in Delhi/UP and 3.50 crore nett in East Punjab. BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION was universal and performed to huge levels across all Hindi markets. The presence of Akshay Kumar has made a difference to the film across all Hindi markets especially North and Central India.
Bihar and Rajasthan are also huge for a dubbed film with Bihar possibly coming out with an all time record on Sunday for the highest single day in history.
GOLD remains the highest opening day of Akshay Kumar but that was a national holiday release. Below are the top ten opening weekends of Akshay Kumar. Normally a film opens on Thursday if it is a holiday on Thursday or Friday but it was not the case here so the regular Fri-Sun weekend is taken for comparison. All are three days.
1. 2.0 - 75,25,00,000 apprx
2. Housefull 3 - 53,27,00,000
3. Rustom - 49,53,00,000
4. Toilet - Ek Prem Katha - 49,09,00,000
5. Jolly LLB 2 - 47,59,00,000
6. Brothers - 47,42,00,000
7. Rowdy Rathore - 46,04,00,000
8. Singh Is Bling - 44,23,00,000
9. Gold - 42,58,00,000
10. Airlift - 42,57,00,000
