Box Office: Tiger 3 Third Day Early Estimates; Shows Strong Hold

Mumbai, November 14 - Tiger 3 shows a strong hold on its third day as collections are likely to be over 40 crores net in the Hindi language. In the morning, the movie had a big drop from the opening day but the evening and night shows witnessed huge growth to make up for the drop and now, the collection is nearing the day 1 numbers. ## The Salman Khan-led actioner scored an estimated 41-42 crores net in Hindi, dropping just around 4% from the Diwali opening day. The total Hindi collection of the movie has reached around 142 crores net and all versions around 146 crores in 3 days. Given the estimates hold, it will be the 4th biggest first three-day collection ever in Hindi after Jawan, Pathaan, and KGF: Chapter 2. ## The Hindi collection of the film today might match the opening day numbers but a lot depends on the size of the drop as some areas are below the opening day while in Gujarat, the collection has jumped from the opening day due to the New Year. The Southern markets continue to score a drop. ## The collection tomorrow is likely to be affected due to India's cricket World Cup semi-final match against New Zealand. If not for the match, the collection could have shown a similar hold due to Bhai Dhooj. It remains to see how much the match will make an impact as this is a big game so there is a possibility of the big drop. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Tiger 3 Opening Day Early Estimates; Biggest Opening For Salman Khan

Mumbai, November 12 - Salman Khan-fronted "Tiger 3" destroyed the Diwali day records at the domestic box office by a huge margin and looks to set one of the biggest openings for a Bollywood movie ever.## The movie has the disadvantage of the Laxmi Pooja which affected the evening and night collection but despite that "Tiger 3" scored around 42 crores net in Hindi, as per the early estimate. The final opening day collection can go up to 43-44 crores, depending on the night shows but 42 crores looks to be locked. The all-India opening (including Tamil and Telugu) is estimated to be around 44-45 crores. ## The opening makes "Tiger 3" the biggest starter for Salman Khan, beating "Bharat" which scored 42.30 crores net in 2019. If it opens on the higher estimates of 43 crores in Hindi then it will be the 6th biggest ever for any movie in Hindi while all versions will be the 5th biggest for a Bollywood film. ## The fact that Salman Khan's previous biggest opener "Bharat" came on a national holiday makes the "Tiger 3" opening excellent considering the odds were against due to Laxmi Pooja which is considered a weak day as far as the box office is concerned, even though the film is a much bigger product than "Bharat". ## The normal Friday release during the Diwali festival could have easily given "Tiger 3" a 60+ crores start but here Yash Raj Films opted for a unique strategy by releasing the film on the day of Diwali. The mass pockets couldn't come on board with full force and they are expected to fire on Monday or Tuesday. ## The initial word of mouth for the movie is mixed but it should reap the reward of the long holiday period. The advance booking for tomorrow is good and the spot booking is expected to be better than today. ## Stay tuned...

Salman Khan's 'Tiger 3' Worldwide Screen Count and Opening Day Box Office Expectations

Mumbai, November 11 - The wait is about to end for Salman Khan-fronted hugely-awaited spy action thriller Tiger 3 which is releasing tomorrow (November 12). The Maneesh Sharma's directorial is the fifth film in Yash Raj Films' Spy Universe and the third in the Tiger franchise. ## "Tiger 3" will have one of the biggest releases ever for Indian movies. The keenly-awaited movie will be released on 8900 screens worldwide, including 5500 screens in India and 3400 screens internationally. It is the biggest release in the Spy Universe, ahead of "Pathaan" which was released on 7700 screens worldwide. ## Produced by Aditya Chopra of Yash Raj Films, "Tiger 3" is a rare movie to release on Sunday, that too on Diwali day. The advance booking of the movie was opened a week before and it got a good response, considering the Diwali day release which normally is a weaker day for the box office than the usual Diwali holiday. ## As of 8 PM on November 11, "Tiger 3" scored approx. 20 crores gross with 7.60 lakh tickets sold for the opening day. The pre-sales have witnessed a very good turnaround on the last day before the release and the final advance booking is expected to be around 23 crores with over 8.50 lakh tickets. ## The pre-sales booking trend of "Tiger 3" has been better than "Gadar 2" which opened at 40.10 crores net. It should ideally score over 40+ crores with this sort of pre-sales, but unlike "Gadar 2", which was an absolute darling of the masses, "Tiger 3" might not be on the same level, at least, on the opening day due to obvious reasons. ## The film will still be looking to open in the range of 40 crores net depending on the impact of Diwali Pooja in the night shows as one could expect the movie to have solid spot-booking in the afternoon and evening shows so 40 crores net opening is very much achievable which will be an excellent start and easily the biggest collection ever on the day of this particular festival.## "Tiger 3" will turn into beast mode from Monday, given the positive talk among the audiences. If it gets favourable word of mouth, the movie could achieve the target of 60 crores net and set the tone for an excellent long first Sunday to Sunday weekend box office total.## The movie stars Salman Khan in the title role alongside Katrina Kaif as the female lead and Emraan Hashmi as the main antagonist. Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan and Hrithik Roshan as Kabir will make a cameo appearance in the film which will lead the events to the next film in the Spy Universe "War 2". ## Stay tuned...

'Aankh Micholi' First Week and 'Tejas' Two Weeks Box Office Collection Update

Mumbai, November 10 - It was another week when new Bollywood movies failed badly at the box office. Though there were no expectations from the new releases things could have been smooth for theatres before the biggie "Tiger 3" arrived on November 12 to rule the roost. ## In the last week, the family comedy-drama film "Aankh Micholi", starring Abhimanyu Dassani, Mrunal Thakur, and Paresh Rawal, was released and died down the first weekend itself. The movie didn't make much impact at the box office as it scored just approx. 2 crores net in the entire first week.## "Aankh Micholi" was one of the many recent films that got released in theatres for the sake of release. The makers didn't even bother promoting and tried to generate buzz around the film, which sealed its fate. ## Meanwhile, Kangana Ranaut's "Tejas" had a horrible second week as it scored only approximately 75 lakh after the poor first week. The total net collection of the movie is approximately 6.25 crores in two weeks, turning out to be another disaster for the actress. ## In between the disappointing results, Vikrant Massey's drama film "12th Fail" is going from strength to strength. The movie scored approx. 14.20 crores net in the second week which is bigger than the first week's collection of approx. 13.05 crores net. ## The Vidhu Vinod Chopra's directorial movie has reached 27.25 crores net in two weeks and is eyeing to finish its run at around 35 crores net which will be an excellent result for the movie. ## Stay tuned...

'Mission Raniganj' Final Worldwide Box Office Collection

Mumbai, November 10 - Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar's rescue thriller Mission Raniganj: The Great Bharat Rescue has almost completed its theatrical run with underwhelming box office numbers given the star cast it got featured. ## Directed by Tinu Suresh Desai, "Mission Raniganj" was the least promoted theatrical film of Akshay Kumar and with less to no hype, the movie opened at 2.80 crores net. The opening of the movie was one of the lowest ever for an Akshay Kumar-starrer. The movie did show some growth over the first weekend but wasn't enough as the collection remained low. ## "Mission Raniganj" got mixed to positive reception from the critics and audiences which kept it in theaters and after 5 weeks, the movie scored over 34 crores net collection. Though the box office numbers of the film are no way near the potential of the Akshay Kumar-starrer it is still respectable given the low opening. ## Produced by Pooja Entertainment, the film is currently playing in around 100 shows which will be reduced to almost zero after the release of Salman Khan's "Tiger 3" on November 12. It will finish its box office run with a worldwide collection of around 46 crores against the production budget of approx. 55 crores.## Here is the final box office breakdown of Mission Raniganj## India Net Collection - 34.20 Cr. Approx.## India Gross Collection - 40.40 Cr.## Overseas Collection - 5.60 Cr. (estimated)## Worldwide Collection - 46.00 Cr.## Box Office Verdict - Flop## "Mission Raniganj" is a missed opportunity given the fact that it was released after the super-hit box office success of Akshay's "OMG 2". The movie failed to generate any hype due to almost zero promotion and perhaps the wrong release timing.## Stay tuned...
