Saturday is going to be an interesting day, as the battle between Dilwale and Bajirao Mastani seems to have gotten closer. While the morning shows of Dilwale on Saturday were a little lower as compared to Friday, Bajirao Mastani is maintaining yesterdays level and some centres are actually performing better than they did on Friday.
While Dilwale is a film targeted both at the multiplex and single-screen audience, Bajirao Mastani is performing well only at multiplexes – which also means the business of the film will peak towards the end of the day today.
Bajirao Mastani could sneak ahead of Dilwale in the state of Maharashtra and even in cities like Kolkata and Bangalore, the gap has reduced quite considerably – even though Dilwale is still leading.
The percentage of growth for the two films on Saturday, will be something to watch out for. A positive trend will be important for both films.
Meanwhile, Dilwale hasn’t got the kind of release that a big film like it deserves. Back in 2012, it was Yash Raj Films that booked theatres for Jab Tak Hai Jaan using Ek Tha Tiger which released a few months before. Now, it was Eros International that has managed to get quite a few major single screens courtesy Bajrangi Bhaijaan.
It’s not that Bajirao Mastani has benefitted by releasing in these single-screens, as the occupancy levels were very low on Friday, but it has successfully dented the business of Dilwale in these areas. When a film doesn’t get a release in prime areas, it makes a significant dent on business.
In a subtle way, Shah Rukh Khan himself made public his disappointment on not getting enough theatres, when he tweeted “What to do not enough theaters. See it tomorrow please” in response to someone who couldn’t get tickets for the film.
Bajirao Mastani too hasn’t got what it deserves, even though the film has performed very well on Day 1 considering the clash. With a solo release, the film would have probably been closer to the 20 crore mark.
This is how, solo release impacts the lifetime collections.
With a solo release, Dilwale would have put 110 CR on cards, in weekend itself, irrespective of the reviews/wom (as reviews/wom come into picture only after Monday).
But now, 110 cr seems to be achievable on 5th or 6th day of release.
Dilwale will be a superhit in India . All the best king Khan .
so Bajirao Mastani it is…. feel sorry for those people who said it is another Saawariya.. ?
@indicine What will happen to the theaters booked by eros next week??? Can they bring dilwale from second week onwards??? So that the theaters as well as dilwale will get a fair chance to earn something.
Well its alarming sign for Dilwale. BM has strong grip in major circuits and wom is very good. Alas srk has to suffer.
Seems.. Self proclaimed king ki hawa nikal rhi hai
zat’s pretty normal that bm would show greater growth becoz it greatly underperformed in many circuits while Dilwale was good to excellent in most circuits
BM will maintain yesterday’s collection and will peak up at some centere because people who watched DILWALE yesterday will watch BM today…and they had ample opportunities to to improve while DILWALE will also improve but later today.
With 3 open week 3000 – 3500 screens the best period for
movie business & the ticket prices are maximum & lastly the
biggest superstar of bollywood his movie & if you consider
these things then I think 300 cr is possible but 3 open week
is ok 3000_3500 screen is OK best period for movie
business is OK ticket prices are at it’s best is OK but the
thing which is not matching a ordinary or average star
movie is released so you can’t expect 300 cr even the die
hard fan of this star will also can’t imagine this number, this
shows the potential of this star because this number can be
thought & can be reached by 2 mega stars in the industry
not needed to mention because the world is well known
about these 2 mega stars of bollywood, this was about the
mega stars but here the movie released is of a ordinary or
average star keeping & calculating all these it looks like that
150cr is the final number # verdict average or flop
hahahahahaha….too much fun….its nt sawariaya Mr khan…..hakla always clashed with poor movie & enjoyed d victory…..now got d treat
Bang Bang ! vs Haider ;
-ve WOM Bang Bang ! – 27 Cr
ve WOM Haider —— 09 Cr
Collection Share was in 3:1 ratio
Dilwale vs BAJIRAO ;
-ve WOM Dilwale – 22 Cr
ve WOM Bajirao – 12.80 Cr
Collection Share is not even in 2:1 ratio
BANG BANG earned triple of its competitor HAIDER But Dilwale earned not even double of its competitor BAJIRAO
Then who is bigger superstar srk fans ?
Ans .. HRITHIK ROSHAN
HRITHIK ROCKS EVEN IN CLASH !
Means BM get better WOM than Dilwale.
Will definitely watch Baji Rao & Mastani today.
Dilwale sure crash on Monday and bajirao mastani sure win from Monday…..!
@indicine, where are first day collection of both movies?
Any news about star wars 7…has it created any record???
I think SRK should have initially thought and released on 25th. He used his stardom clout to release the picture on 18th.
The biggest dissapoint of this decade is dilwale public saying dilwale is working faster than sleeping pills but it is very costly I think people can get sleeping pills in 2 rupees no need to spend 200 rupees if you guys wanna sleep in theater than u r allowed to go for dilwale if you want something new some touchy moments than go for BM
Will never forgive Deepika,Monkey Ranveer,PC,Bhansali and Eros
BT u all remember Srk has always performed when his back is against the wall
class movies always beat mass movies after weekend
mark my word
expect 25 cr today…..still long way to go…..
So the gap between both the movie is started closing from second day morning shows onwards…..
170+ crores for dilwale
110+ crores for bm
means bajirio mastani dent dilwale
The release size has hurt both the films..both will show growth today but it remains to be seen how big? That’s why I always favoured a 25 December release for Dilwale because it would have got close to 4000 screens and on a national holiday it would have targetted that 40 crore single day..sad to see that both the films are suffering as they are not performing to their potential
I guess SRKs first flop!!!
Through different lens, 12 crores for BM is huge for a film starring Deepika and Ranveer clashing with a film starring the global queen of 3.7 billion fans, kajol, the so called youth icon directed by a blockbuster director.
Har Har Mahadev……
Dilwale will collect more that 80 cr in first weekend first week will be around 125cr second weekend will be 40 to 45cr second week 75 cr and rest of week 30 cr so total will be 230cr blockbuster.
Flop confirmed wom is extremely negative so it’s better to watch bajirao mastani
The audience who are not getting tickets please come here to Calcutta the empty theater is running since morning
Fact is shahrukh is not bigger star than ajay akshay.only reason he is successful is because he is clever conversationly skillful and know how to be in news go to interiours of our country akki is the most popular star along with salman…..look at salman’s career even giving lots of blockbusters before 2000 he was considerd secondry to shahrukh only because srk was clever but fortunately salman started doing big boss and boss suddenly salman looking more intelligent when it comes to choosing movies and his films doing wonder its not he was less popular before only thing changed is his sense of choosing films to his strenth and while srk still alive on his past lover boy image recent example is dilwale doing better in gulf or may be in some other overseas countries because of kajol factor but ordinary in india look at dilwale closely srk is trying everything from overdone the colours visually same old srk kajol songs to south style funny act etc in real sense he is trying to be salman but in real he has lost his so called stardom only thing is still alive is hype before the release of his movies on social media
