BEAUTY AND THE BEAST managed to gross around 10 crore nett in its first week and the English version will hold well in the second week. MACHINE is very poor and remains in just some single screens in week two. TRAPPED had steady but very low mid week collections but as occupancy was so low the film just remains in one show at select multiplexes outside Mumbai city where it has a little show. The film has been totally rejected. The Govinda starrer AA GAYA HERO is another disaster and its sad to see a big star of the 90's getting even lower collections than a no hoper like TRAPPED. The approx first week business of the main new releases of last week are as follows.
Beauty And The Beast - 10,50,00,000
Machine - 3,00,00,000
Trapped - 2,25,00,000
Aa Gaya Hero - 1,10,00,000

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST continued to easily beat the Hindi films although collections are low. The film is mainly for kids and families in metros so could put some collections over on Saturday and Sunday again. The film is a huge blockbuster in its domestic market with the four day business more or less beating the lifetime business of all films in 2017 but India does not have much of a market for these type of films. The Hindi films held up pretty well compared to their Friday business but that is because there was no Friday business. MACHINE business in single screens on Monday is same as Friday while TRAPPED was same as Friday on Monday at multiplexes. The apprx four day business of the main new releases this week is as follows.
