MAIN ATAL HOON collected 5.25 crore nett apprx in its first weekend showing good growth on Saturday and Monday should hold well due to the public holiday. But it needs to be around 1 crore nett on Tuesday if it is to get some run at the box office and even that may not be enough with FIGHTER coming on Thursday.

The Saturday growth, which was a struggle just after the pandemic, seems to be coming like normal now but its all of very low opening day numbers. Actually, the opening day remains an issue not just for small films but even medium and bigger films generally though there are some exceptions.

The collections of MAIN ATAL HOON till date are as follows

Friday - 1,15,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 1,90,00,000

Sunday - 2,25,00,000

MERRY CHRISTMAS did a second weekend of 2.50 crore nett and its looking to settle at under 20 crore nett with a shortened second week due to the release of FIGHTER.

HANUMAN (Hindi) collected well in its second weekend with an 11 crore nett plus total which is pretty much similar to the first weekend. The film has collected over 33 crore nett till now and should get some benefit on Monday due to the public holiday.

It is probably targeting a 50 crore nett total which is excellent but it looked like to be more at a point of time last week and could have gone like KANTARA. However, its not really broken out in any area like that film which really pushed its collections to higher levels in Maharashtra/Gujarat.

The collections of HANUMAN till date  are as follows.

Friday - 2,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 3,75,00,000 apprx

Sunday -  5,75,00,000 apprx

Monday - 3,75,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 2,50,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 2,25,000,000 apprx

Thursday - 2,00,00,000 apprx

Friday - 2,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 4,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 5,25,00,000 apprx

MAIN ATAL HOON collected 1.15-1.25 crore nett on its first day which is not too bad for a film with no face value but the collections are driven heavily by the bigger multiplexes a bit like MERRY CHRISTMAS last week but with lower collections. The film is a biopic on a former Prime Minister so that may have got a limited audience out who would be interested in the story.

MERRY CHRISTMAS fell on its eighth day with collections of 55 lakhs nett which takes the film to 13 crore nett. This means the film may just get to around 5 crore nett in week two on a best case scenario with a more likely scenario being a 4 crore nett week.

The collections of MERRY CHRISTMAS till date are as follows.

Friday - 2,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 3,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 3,25,00,000 apprx

Monday - 1,50,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 1,00,00,000 apprrx

Wednesday - 90,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 80,00,000 apprx

Friday - 55,00,000 apprx

HANUMAN (Hindi) is a HIT as it collects 2 crore nett on its second Friday which is similar to the the first Friday and the film looks to be heading for a 50 crore nett plus lifetime number though a lot depends on how FIGHTER fares at the box office. The collections on the second Friday were better that the first Friday at many of the bigger multiplexes.

The film has a 24 crore nett total so far after eight days and it will be another strong trending weekend and a public holiday on Monday for the inauguration of Ram Mandir though it remains to be seen how this holiday plays out.

The collections of HANUMAN till date are as follows.

Friday - 2,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 3,75,00,000 apprx

Sunday -  5,75,00,000 apprx

Monday - 3,75,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 2,50,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 2,25,000,000 apprx

Thursday - 2,00,00,000 apprx

Friday - 2,00,00,000 apprx
