There was some respite for War 2 as collections went up on Blockbuster Tuesday. With the ticket rates going low, the footfalls went up and as a result the collections stood at Rs. 8.50 crores. This is better than Monday which had gone down to Rs. 7.50 crores, which was a huge drop from the opening day (Rs. 29 crores).
In fact, it’s some sort of respite that the collections saw some improvement because the kind of free flow that was seen on Monday, it wouldn’t have been surprising if the numbers would have gone down to Rs. 6-7 crores range despite cheaper tickets. After all, it has been seen multiple times before that when there is rejection from the audiences then there is no breathing space whatsoever.
All eyes are now on how the hold is there today and tomorrow. If somehow the collections stay around that Rs. 6 crores mark then that would mean there is some sort of second weekend ahead of it, especially due to no new notable release. However, if the collections end up hitting that Rs. 5 crores mark then that would mean Rs. 200 crores lifetime would stay on to be a major challenge. Currently, this Hrithik Roshan and NTR starrer stands at Rs. 146 crores.
