SIKANDAR continues its dull business as it collected 1.40 crore nett on Tuesday which now takes the business to almost 97 crore nett. The film will have another day with collections over 1 crore nett on Wednesday but then collections will be a struggle due to a huge reduction of shows. The film is not going to reach 100 crore nett in its extended twelve day first week.
The second week collections are going to be simply horrible as its pretty certain to be under 5 crore nett and there will be not be many big films with numbers which are so low. Even if we take its coming after an extended first week, such low numbers are pretty unimaginable. No doubt the content is bad but its not just down to that as the bigger picture in terms of the number of people coming to cinema is an issue. A Salman Khan film on Eid will do just 55 lakh footfalls and unless its a small film, this should not be happening irrespective of the content.
The collections of SIKANDAR till date are as follows.
Sunday - 25,00,00,000 apprx
Monday - 27,00,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 18,50,00,000 apprx
Wednesday - 8,50,00,000 apprx
Thursday - 4,75,00,000 apprx
Friday - 2,75,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 3,25,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 4,00,00,000 apprx
Monday - 1,65,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 1,40,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 96,80,00,000 apprx

SIKANDAR collected a poor 98.50 crore nett in its extended twelve day first week. TIGER 3, which had a similar week, had done business of 202 crore in the same time frame and that was called an under performance at that time. But the SIKANDAR numbers should put those numbers into perspective. The collections saw a big drop on Thursday due to the release of JAAT.
The second week collections will not be much though it will reach the 100 crore nett mark. The film is lucky that it got released in Eid as that has probably added around 20-25 crore nett. It is also lucky that it released on Sunday; otherwise it would have been a dead duck by the time Eid came. The low numbers in Rajasthan and CI are a killer. These were core Salman Khan circuits before the pandemic.
The film will join the list of mega disasters like BOMBAY VELVET, ZERO, '83, LAAL SINGH CHADDHA, BADE MIYAN CHOTE MIYAN and MAIDAAN. It is the first disaster of this level for Salman Khan but the disasters from the other Khans, ZERO and LAAL SINGH CHADDHA, were probably even bigger disasters.
