Wanted vs Veer : Box office update

The first indication that Veer may not go the Wanted way, was when the collections first dipped on Saturday and later dropped quite significantly on Monday. Republic day (Tuesday) business helped the film get close to the first week numbers of Wanted, but the huge crash on Friday (Week 2) and further drops on Saturday and Sunday has meant that the film is highly unlikely to attain HIT status.

The fact that the distributors share is high from single screens has ensured the “moderate success” tag for the film, but business overall has been well below expectations.

Here is a comparison between Wanted and Veer 

DayWantedVeer
Friday5.5 crores7 crores
Saturday 6.5 crores6 crores
Sunday6.5 crores7.5 crores
Weekend Total18.5 crores20.5 crores
Monday7.25 crores (Holiday)3 crores
Tuesday5.5 crores (Holiday in some parts)6.5 crores (Holiday)
Wednesday2.5 crores2 crores
Thursday 2.25 crores1.50 crores
Week 1 Total36 crores33.50 crores
Friday2.25 crores1.5 crores
Saturday2.50 crores1.75 crores
Sunday3.75 crores2 crores
Monday3 crores (Holiday)1 crore
11 day Total47.5 crores39.75 crores

The table above gives a pretty clear indication as to how both movies have trended, while Wanted opened slow and remained steady, Veer opened better but crashed quickly.

Few other points to be noted

  • The multiplex business of Veer is lower than Wanted.
  • The costs of Veer is much higher, hence the film needs much more for hit status.
  • The lifetime nett of Veer is likely to fold up under 45 crores, with a distributors share of around 25 – 26 crores.

Most likely verdict : Average

  • now producer of the movie can only convince these dumbos that the movie is a flop!!! and why will he call it a flop >>> he will call it superhit and then these people will return from his home ..yelling ITS A HIT ..ITS A HIT..such kiddish and amateurish behavior

  • the only discusiion about this wretched movie is on this s site otherwise nobody is bothered about the film anywhere else . there is no word of mouth carry ..that explains why it is such a big flop.. and yes if masses have rejected it then sallu is not as popular as he thinks.. what can he do if the product is substandard???

  • yes we must see this movie again for the last time to pay our last respect and homage to this moronish film ..and also observe two minute silence in fond remembrance of this movie ..the prayer meeting today at 4..oo pm will be followed by prasad ..all of u please assemble outside the producers house in full force…

    critics of ndtvgoodtimes channel, is anupama chopra
    dis lady is relative or wife of viduvinod chopra (3 idiots ).
    n sallu went in 3 idiot premiere. n he also gave very gud feedback regularly.
    inspite of dis, anupama chopra said very bad abt veer.
    shame on to industry people.

  • @Megha why you always trying to force that veer has flopped.Previous 2 weeks u just constant saying that have you really any psychological problem or something secret .You can share in this platform.My friends we all are admitting that Veer didnt hit but either not flop.It declared average movie but 3rd week still remaining.Another thing if you dont like salman movies why you come on every topic related to salman khan(veer,veer box office update,veeroic effort,wanted vs veer).Something really damn wrong with @Megha and @Adii you really need mental treatment.

  • Zeeshan
    dont worry about those brother and sister, both are sick and they will be ok after 12th Feb ,
    just chill
    and wait for my site , i am going to announce the name tomorrow.

  • Ishqiya Good First Week Rann Dull

    Saturday 6th January 2010 09.00 IST

    Boxofficeindia.Com Trade Network

    Striker opened to a dull response of 5-10%. The film will struugle to make any impact at the box office.

    Ishqiya did well in week one with 14 crore nett business. The film has fared especially well in Delhi/UP and East Punjab. The second week should also see healthy collections. The distributors have easily recovered costs in the first week itself and the producers may also cover costs in time

    Rann grossed around 6 crore nett in week one. The film fared very poor all over and even though there is no major competition this week the film will drop badly. The film will suffer huge losses all round. DISASTER

    Veer droped in week two with around 7.75 crore nett business to takes its total to 38.75 crore including Telugu version. The Hindi versions stands at 37.75 crore nett in two weeks. The film is a Hit in Bihar, CP Berar, CI and Rajasthan but lower in other circuits. Overall AVERAGE

    Three Idiots adds another 4.75 crore nett to take its five week total to around 196 crore nett. ALL TIME BLOCKBUSTER

  • Guys there is a hint for u about the title of my site
    just find it in this sentence.
    ” Towards bollywood one step plus ”
    jist find it . the title of site is in this sentance.

  • may be, your website title will be Bollywood Plus..

    for your kind information, Mangal Panday was tagged below average, then it turned flopped at the end and Jodha Akbar was not tagged Super Hit. It was Hit due to average opening.

    IF you don’t believe me, then check any boxoffice website.. or should I give you reference?

  • BoxofficeIndia has given Average verdict to Veer.. I am a Salman Khan’s fan. But, I am happy, because after alot of bad reviews. Veer survived….. It would be definitely Hit, if those critics were not paid.

  • Akram bhai
    u r very intelligent.

    but i dont think so there is enough diffrence between avg and below avg and super hit and hit
    Hit mean movie is Hit successfull , and Jodha Akbar worked very good in overseas aswell.
    Mangal Panday was avg to below avg, but we can say it avg
    just like u sallu fans , Veer is AVG but u r thinking it is Hit because Salman worked very hard and he got bad reviews , Mangal Panday also got bad reviews .

  • Nauman
    dont promote your website buddy!
    mangal pandey-below avrage
    asoka-flop
    jodha akbar-s hit
    veer-disaster at multiplex

  • Akram Abbas
    veer is avrage
    two weeks total- 38 cr 7 cr more need to recover its investment.
    if any dosnt recover its investment then it will be flop.
