SHAMITABH recorded poor first week figures of 18 crore nett in Week 1. The film has a huge reduction of shows in week two and so it will not add much more to its first week total. These sort of films are never likely to get an initial and so its about holding on weekdays. But here the weekday collections fell fast.

The film had reasonable figures in South India over the weekend especially Tamil Nadu/Kerala and Mysore but even these had low figures on the weekday. Tamil Nadu/Kerala had a poor trend over the weekend so falls were always likely but Mysore at least should have done better.

The collections in the Northern and Central belts are a disaster. When Delhi NCR and Punjab do not perform for multiplex films the writing is on the wall.
------------------------------------
BABY grossed 7.50 crore nett in its third week taking its three week total to 77.50 crore nett. The fall in the third week was less than the fall in the second week and the film will finish with lifetime business of 80 crore nett.

The film is the highest grosser ever for a Akshay Kumar starrer in West Bengal and Mysore with collections of 4 crore nett and 5.75 crore nett respectively after three weeks. These two circuits are reasonable but others are low.

BABYshould now finish at around 80 crore nett which is a bit better than it looked last week. However a 37-38 crore share is not a good result for the film.

BABY had a good hold at the start of the third week as it grossed around 1 crore nett which is a little over 50% drop from last Friday. The second Friday had seen a fall of over 70%. The film can do a third weekend of around 4.75-5 crore nett or even more depending on the growth.

This sort of drop in the second weekend would have made a huge difference for the film but a good hold in week three is a little late in the day as it has collected less than 70 crore nett in two weeks.
