With the exception with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2
we are living in a time when non-Hindi films are doing well at the box office
Welcome to NUMBER GAME With me Himesh
where we discuss nothing but numbers
that is the box office collections of feature films
We start today's episode by discussing the
box office collections of Jurassic World
The movie released on Thursday with paid previews
where it collected 3.75 crores
This was followed by 8 crores on Friday
11.25 crores on Saturday and 12 crores on Sunday
This takes the weekend collection of Jurassic World to 35 crores
These are good numbers especially for a film
which was written off by all the critics across the globe
In fact, the last instalment of Jurassic World
is among the worst-rated film of the franchise
This again proves that if the excited to watch a film on the big screen
they would go for it irrespective of the critical response
There will be a drop in collections from Monday as it was the case for Dr Strange
But that's not relevant because
the weekend business is respectable
and now the film will head towards a lifetime total upside of the half-century mark
And now, we move on to Kamal Hassan's Vikram
which is on a record-breaking spree at the box office
After recording a near hundred crore weekend
the movie clocked 7 crores on Friday
11 crores on Saturday and another 11 crores on Sunday
to take the 2nd-weekend collections to 29 crores
The collections of Vikram in Tamil Nadu now stand in the range of 127-130 crores and
the movie is first headed to become the highest-grossing film of all time in Tamil Nadu
by defeating the long-standing record of Bahubali 2
For those unaware Bahubali collected 155 crores in Tamil Nadu
and Vikram is expected to zoom past that number by Saturday or Sunday
While Vikram has collected 127 crores in Tamil Nadu
it is on a record-breaking spree in Kerala as well
The movie has created a record by collecting nearly 31 crores in Kerala
in a span of 10 days
With this, the all-India total of Vikram stands at 210 crores
which is simply phenomenal
The movie is headed to clock 250 or maybe who knows even 300 crores in India
As the trend so far is unbelievable
Vikram is in the race to zoom past Bahubali 2 and become an industry hit
for the Tamil film industry
and this is a surprise because the entire trade was expecting
a Rajnikanth, or a Vijay or an Ajith film to topple the 5-year long-standing
record of Bahubali 2 but guess what?
It is Kamal Hassan, who has come out of the syllabus
and shattered all records probably created some
which will stand for a long... time
As far as the lifetime collections are concerned
we expect Vikram to do anywhere between 160-180 crores in Tamil Nadu alone
and we wonder for how long will this record stand
There was a new Hindi release in the form of Janhit Mein Jari this week
the film has collected 1.75-2.00 crores in its opening weekend
While the trend from Friday to Saturday to Sunday has been positive
the numbers are still low and it needs to do well over the weekdays
to have some sort of respectable numbers at the box office
Last week's release Samrat Prithviraj
has proved to be a major flop at the box office
and it is looking to end its run at collections around 65 crores
There's a Marathi film Sarsenapati Hambirrao
which is doing good business at the box office
in the first 2 weeks, the film has clocked thirteen and a half crores in Maharashtra alone
and with houseful boards last weekend too
it is expected to continue with the healthy run
and go on for weeks to come by
as far as Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 is concerned,
the horror comedy is now nearing the end of its run
and we expect the film to end in lifetime collections
around 175-185 crores
so, this was the report of films running at the cinema halls this week
