All eyes were set on 2024, with Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone and Anil Kapoor starrer film Fighter being the the first big release of the year. The film is directed by Siddharth Anand, post the success of War and Pathaan. Fighter, which released on January 25 coinciding with Republic Day holiday, doing well over the weekend.
Fighter Collects More On Day Three Than Day Two But Less Than National Holiday Number Of Day Two
Fighter has opened to glowing reviews all over on day one morning and these reviews translated in big numbers over the weekend. Film scored big on day two as it was national holiday and collected 41.20 cr nett with 66% jump from day one. Film jumped by 80% on day two in national chains.
Film crossed day one number on day three and should collect around 27.60 cr nett with 12% jump from day one but 33% drop from day 2 which was aided by national holiday.
Film has crossed 93.40 cr nett in three days and film will cross 125 cr nett over 4 – day weekend and then it will be about hold on Monday. If film can hold solid on Monday around day one number then sky is the limit for lifetime total. Film is solid in urban centres and the worry is smaller centres which might drop big on weekdays.
Fighter Failed To Score Big On Day One Due To Poor Advance Bookings
Opening day of the film at box office equals to star power of the film. On this front, Fighter failed miserably. Last year on 25th January, same director and actress scored all time record opening due to presence of superstar Shah Rukh Khan. Same date same actress same director and almost similar genre but Fighter will fall short by 60-65%. It means that Hrithik and Deepika failed to create any sense of urgency for audience to watch the film on day one and now content will take over from here onwards.
With only 1.45 lacs ticket sold in national chains for day one, film was always going to struggle for decent opening day number. Film opened to poor 15-20% occupancy and it was expected to improve from evening onwards as next day was big national holiday. Film collected 11.40 cr nett in national chains. Film crossed 24.60 cr nett day one all India and that was way below par.
