WELCOME BACK will finish with business of 97 crore nett apprx. The film had average collections after the first week as not could not really sustain in the crowded period. The business of WELCOME BACK till date is as follows.
Week One - 73,65,00,000
Week Two - 18,54,00,000
Week Three -  3,22,00,000
Week Four  - 39,50,000
Weekend Five - 5,50,000
TOTAL - 96,86,00,000

The distributor share will be in the 49 crore region and has proved to be a Semi Hit at the box office. The film is one better performing films at the box office this year.

WELCOME BACK dropped in third week as it grossed around 3.50 crore nett taking its business to 95.50 crore nett apprx. The drop in week three was a huge 80% plus which left with no chance of reaching 100 crore nett. The best business comparatively has come in Bihar where it will beat bigger all India grossers like TANU WEDS MANU RETURNS and ABCD 2.

HERO had a huge crash in week two grossing around 2.50 crore nett and taking its business to 31.75 crore nett in two weeks. The drop week on week is over 90%. The lifetime business of the film will be around 32 crore nett

WELCOME BACK will gross around 97 crore nett which will put it with SINGHAM (2011) and EK VILLAIN (2011) as these films also missed 100 crore nett by a very short margin. The distributor share of WELCOME BACK will be around 49 crore.

WELCOME BACK has low collections in the third week as the film dropped in Friday which is par for the course but for some reason could not show big gains on Saturday which established films normally do. The first four days of the third week for WELCOME BACK are as follows.
Friday - 55,00,000
Saturday - 75,00,000
Sunday - 90,00,000
Monday 35,00,000
TOTAL - 2,55,00,000

The film has grossed around 94.50 crore nett till date and is looking at 97-98 crore nett finish which is in the same range as films like SINGHAM (2011) and EK VILLAIN (2014).

WELCOME BACK grossed a decent 18 crore nett in week two taking its two week total to 91.75 crore nett. The drop in the second week is 75% which is par trending. The collections are the seventh highest for week two in 2015 and it should have been a bit higher considering the first week was the second highest this year.

The film has grossed healthy number is the big circuits in two weeks with Mumbai at 32 crore nett due to strong performance in Gujarat, Delhi/UP is at 19 crore nett which is already the third highest of the year and East Punjab is at 10 crore nett. It has also done well in Rajasthan and CI.

It remains to be seen if the film can get to 100 crore nett and it does not look easy with the weekend being crucial for it to remain with a chance. The film must sustain better in week three to get to 100 crore nett and a 75% week on week drop won't be good enough..
-----------------------
WELCOME BACK is struggling to reach the 100 crore nett mark as collections dropped 75-80% in week three when the drop has to be around 65% week on week to reach 100 crore nett. The collections will be in the 50-60 lakhs nett range on its third Friday.

It is still not totally impossible that the film can reach 100 crore nett as the collections can more than double on Saturday and go even further on Sunday but that seems unlikely scenario. The film needs around 6 crore nett plus over the week and this does not look like coming leaving it at around 98-99 crore. Although this hardly makes a difference and the film has done well, a genuine 100 crore film is good for perception.

The collections of HERO also dropped in the second week and its second week will probably come out as same as WELCOME BACK's third week. The hold is better outside the metros but thats not good enough and will close at around 35 crore nett.

WELCOME BACK grossed 1.75 crore nett apprx on its second Monday. The film is doing better in the weekend than the weekdays. The first four day business for the second week for WELCOME BACK is as follows.
Friday - 2,50,00,000
Saturday - 4,25,00,000
Sunday - 5,00,00,000
Monday - 1,75,00,000
TOTAL - 13,50,00,000

The film has grossed 86.50 crore nett so far and will be around 91.5-92 crore nett after two weeks.

WELCOME BACK showed good growth on its second Saturday. The total business of the film is 80 crore nett in nine days. The first two days of week two for WELCOME BACK are as follows.
Friday - 2,50,00,000
Saturday - 4,25,00,000
TOTAL - 6,75,00,000

The film film is doing best in North India and Gujarat in its second week. The former is probably because HERO is not so good in this sector.
----------------------------
WELCOME BACK had a decent second weekend grossing a little under 12 crore nett. The film did well on Saturday and Sunday. The total after ten days is a around 85 crore nett. The second weekend business for WELCOME BACK is as follows.
Friday - 2,50,00,000
Saturday - 4,25,00,000
Sunday - 5,00,00,000
TOTAL - 11,75,00,000

The film is looking at around 100 crore nett lifetime business but it will be a tight call with the film probably taking 4-5 weeks to get there if it gets there.

WELCOME BACK grossed a decent 2.50-2.75 crore nett on its eight day. The collections have not dropped much despite the new release HERO. The collections are 30-35% down from Thursday which is pretty good considering there was a big release. The film is on course for 100 crore nett business but it will be close run thing. A big 50% plus jump on Saturday will make the 100 crore nett mark a bit easier otherwise it may take 4-5 weeks to get there, if it ever gets there.

Still whether it gets 100 plus or 98 crore nett, it's pretty much the same thing and the film has done well. The weekend should finish up in the 10-12 crore nett range depending on the growth on Saturday and Sunday. A lot will also depend on how HERO does on Saturday and Sunday.

WELCOME BACK is a comedy success after a long time and barring West Bengal and Mysore it has done good business in all the circuits with the bonus being strong business overseas.

WELCOME BACK has done well in its first week grossing 73.75 crore nett. The film has seen drops on the weekdays which are a bit higher than normal but the daily numbers remained good as it was coming off high levels. The first week collections are the second highest of the year after BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN and it beat ABCD 2 and TANU WEDS MANU RETURNS which are third and fourth respectively.

The first week collections are also the highest ever for a comedy film. The previous best was the 2011 Salman khan starrer READY at 69 crore nett which coincidentally was from the same director.

The lifetime business will depend on what happens in the second weekend. The 100 crore nett figure looked a certainty on Monday but the drops afterwards has made it depend on the second weekend. There has not been a major comedy success for a long time with most comedy films struggling to make a mark. Before WELCOME BACK, the last comedy success was GRAND MASTI two years back.

WELCOME BACK held up well on Monday but could have been higher but big cities showed drops of over 50% from Monday. The mass hold was much better at around 40-45% down. The overall drop is 50% from Friday. The first weekend business of Welcome Back are as follows:
Friday - 14,25,00,000
Saturday - 16,75,00,000
Saturday - 19,50,00,000
Monday - 7,25,00,000
TOTAL - 57,75,00,000

The film on Monday was better in Gujarat, CP Berar, CI, UP and Rajasthan. The drops came in Mumbai and East Punjab. Delhi city was also down but UP held the circuit up. The Monday number is a good number and the week will close around the 75 crore nett mark.
-----------------------------
Welcome Back continued its good run on Tuesday with another good collection of 6.25 crore nett. The first five days business of Welcome Back is as follows.
Friday - 14,25,00,000
Saturday - 16,75,00,000
Saturday - 19,50,00,000
Monday - 7,25,00,000
Tuesday - 6,25,00,000
TOTAL - 64,00,00,000
 
The first week will be 74 crore nett plus and then it will depend how the second Friday goes. The weekend saw the film will do very well in the core Hindi circuits of Mumbai, Delhi /UP, East Punjab, Rajasthan , CP Berar, CI and Bihar but from Monday the film has seen noticeable drops in Mumbai, Delhi city and East Punjab.

WELCOME BACK did very well in its first weekend grossing 50 crore nett plus. The film also had a solid trend showing good growth on Saturday and Sunday. The first weekend business of WELCOME BACK are as follows.
Friday - 14,25,00,000
Saturday - 16,75,00,000
Saturday - 19,50,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 50,50,00,000 apprx

The business strong in most places like Mumbai, Delhi/UP, East Punjab, Rajasthan, CP Berar and CI though West Bengal with just 1.75 crore nett fared poorly but that would hardly alter it's fate as main circuits are string.
----------------------------
WELCOME BACK has sailed through on Monday despite the high costs of the film as per the face value it had and emerged a big HIT. The collections are rock steady on Monday and although its too early to put a number to Monday it is very unlikely to drop more than 40% from Friday which means a minimum 8.5 crore is there and this number should be higher when the day finishes. 

A circuit like Rajasthan which opened strongly is just 30% down from Friday and with these circuits working, it means the film is going to be a good runner for the next 2-3 weeks. The film will cruise past the 100 crore nett mark and will be no surprise if it goes above 125 crore nett.

The film does have a budget of over 100 crore but that is not much of a concern now as a minimum 80 crore distributor share will come from theatres across the world and more importantly it has tremendous appreciation in the main Hindi film markets.

WELCOME BACK had a good second day as it grossed 16.75 crore nett. The film is doing very well  in core Hindi circuits. The first two day business of WELCOME BACK are as follows.
Friday - 14,25,00,000
Saturday - 16,75,00,000
TOTAL - 31,00,00,000

The film is on course to recover it's high costs. But the weekday collections will be crucial for the film.

WELCOME BACK has grossed approx 14.25 crore nett on day one. The collections are very similar to ABCD 2 and it will be either the second biggest or third biggest opening of the year depending on where the two big circuits Delhi/UP and Mumbai finally land up. The collections of ABCD 2 were 14.28 crore nett on day one.

The film has scored very well across India with South India being a bit low but that is expected for a mass film. The film lost some business due to a few issues with digital prints at places and should be able to make that up today. It will be interesting to see where the film goes today as it has advantage of a part holiday though mass centres which opened very well will see little drops also.

The film is a cost affair and so growth would be great for the film. But the key will be to at least hold at similar levels and then the family audience will be there in full force on Sunday. Surprisingly its not even certain to be the biggest opener ever for Anil Kapoor or John Abraham as RACE 2 grossed 14.38 crore nett on day one.
