The magnum opus has been released on over 5000 screens worldwide and around 3800 screens in India making it one of the biggest releases of Akshay Kumar's career. The film was expected to take a flying start but that could not happen as the trailer and promos could not create much anticipation and further even music proved to be a damp squib.
The early estimates collections are heading for a double-digit start in the range of 10-11 crores net. This is a good first-day number for a mid-sized film but not at all for a mega-budgeted film like Samrat Prithviraj. The opening in all the major cities is bad. The opening will be less than the last Akshay Kumar film Bachchan Pandey which collected 13.25 crores net box on the first day against an opponent like The Kashmir Files.
The positive thing is that B and C tier centers have seen good footfalls but when the film is so humongous in stature like Samrat Prithiviraj then the center-wise business cannot help the film as it needs universal business across the board. The film needs to show huge growth over Saturday and Sunday to score respectable first weekend collections.
