ROCKY HANDSOME is a major flop as it grossed 21 crore nett in week one and there is not a lot to come. The 25 crore nett lifetime total is an uphill task making its lifetime business even lower than a JAI GANGAAJAL. The business was best in UP and CP Berar as they took a better initial but even there business went downhill from Friday evening itself.

The Hollywood release BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE is an average fare thanks to the good opening it took. The film is the only film in the Hindi film market to take an initial this year as it collected 3.75 crore nett in paid previews on post 6pm shows and a limited release.

The film did not sustain too well after the first one but the good initial has still meant a 36 crore nett first week including the paid previews but due to the opening it has managed fair business.

ROCKY HANDSOME continued with poor business on its fifth day. The daily business of ROCKY HANDSOME till date is as follows.
Thursday (PP) - 1,50,00,000
Friday - 5,50,00,000
Saturday - 4,25,00,000
Sunday - 3,50,00,000
Monday - 2,00,00,000
Tuesday - 1,60,00,000
Total - 18,35,00,000

The way the film is going it will not even do 25 crore nett lifetime business. The Hollywood release BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE will do double or thereabouts the business of ROCKY HANDSOME.

ROCKY HANDSOME will be a big loser as the collections on Monday were low at around 2 crore nett. The film has grossed 16.75 crore nett in four days and the film is looking at a 22 crore nett week although collections may finish as another big match will hit collections on Thursday.

BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE also had a drop in collections as it grossed 3.25 crore nett. This is 60% plus down from Friday but that was a holiday. So on fair value the drop is not as bad as it looks.

The total of the film is around 28.25 crore nett and the week should be able to get to around 36 crore nett which is decent.

ROCKY HANDSOME had a fair opening of around 25-30% after a decent performance on paid previews with collections of 1.50 crore nett apprx. The opening morning collections are the second best of the year after AIRLIFR but the film has benefitted from the holiday for Good Friday. It can be said that for a holiday, the opening should be bit better than fair. The film has to pull through very well at the end to set a good total as it is very unlikely to grow tomorrow as day one is a holiday.
------------------------
ROCKY HANDSOME recorded low figures on day one as it could not compete with BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE at multiplexes. The film had the same issue at paid previews as they were mainly at multiplexes and ROCKY HANDSOME had poor paid previews. The film has collected 1.50 crore nett in paid previews and 5.50 crore nett on day one.

The initial it took in mass centres on Friday was fair and even first day collections in UP, Rajasthan and CPCI are okay but with no help in the evening at multiplexes the film could not push that first day collection higher. Basically the audience in most of India preferred the action of Batman v Superman.

There is a big match on Sunday which will hurt collections again. Also factoring in the match and going by reports it is possible that the first day of ROCKY HANDSOME will be its best day.
------------------------
Rocky Handsome has had a very poor weekend of 14.50 crore nett with 1.50 crore nett on paid previews, 5.50 crore nett on Friday, 4 crore nett on Saturday and 3.50 crore nett on Sunday. The film was affected by the match on Sunday but that hardly matters as it has been rejected outright. The film did open well at some mass centres but these also have seen a steady decline over the weekend.
