To Vicky Kaushal, With Love From <I>Bad Newz</I> Co-star Ammy Virk: "It's Been A Blast With My Brother"
Box Office India Trade Network

BAD NEWZ is heading for a 13 crore nett plus second week as collections remain on the lower side on the weekdays. The film is being aided by BOGO on certain days especially over the weekend but it hardly matters as that 3-4 crore gain overall does not really make much difference to the fate of the film. If the film gets 60 or 65 crore nett, its still pretty much the same result.

The film stands at almost 54 crore nett at present and by the end of the week, it will be around 56 crore nett. Then it will be about how much you add over the next two weeks as it will be out when the Independence Day releases come. The film is looking to be an AVERAGE fare thanks to the initial of the film. Also its a good result as whatever appreciation there is, its is mainly in NCR and some centres of Punjab. On this basis, you take a 65 crore nett box office haul as a result.

The overseas market has also fared well and will be closing the second week at around $4 million (33.50 Crore) and here its done well in Canada and Australia due to the Punjabi feel of the film. The huge plus was the opening in Gulf though holds have not been so good there.

-----------------------------------
BAD NEWZ collected a fair 13.50 crore nett in week two which takes the two week total of the film to 56 crore nett. The drop in week two is 68% and although this is on the higher side, it is still okay for this film as it got an opening weekend. If the film had a 20-25 crore nett first weekend and trended like this, it would have been a goner.

The film is benefitting from the BOGO offer on weekdays but even without that, the fate of the film would be the same; just that the business would be a little lower. This week, the film faces competition from two releases and although neither has opened, they have given the holdovers a hit in terms of showcasing.

The film continues to put up good numbers in NCR and East Punjab. The latter stands at 8 crore nett in two weeks which is already more than TERI BAATON MEIN AISA ULJHA JIYA and it remains to be seen if it can reach the 9.50 crore nett of CREW.
