Question: What’s the maximum a big film can collect on a single day if it gets 100% occupancy? – Sridhar Answer: The current maximum market capacity is somewhere around 55 – 60 crore i.e if a film gets 100% occupancy for all shows, and at all centres where it has released, then the all-India net business could go well over 55 crore on a single day.

UPDATE 1AM on Saturday: Happy New Year has collected around 36 crore including all versions on Saturday. Happy New Year is on a historic run at the box office, as the morning shows on Saturday are only about 10-20% lower compared to yesterday at most multiplex centres that we have been tracking. Noon shows have picked up, most shows are running to capacity and the gap between Friday and Saturday business should narrow towards the end of the day.

Releasing Happy New Year on Friday was a masterstroke by Shahrukh Khan and his team, as opening day records give films tremendous publicity across print, television and social media. For first day records, getting the timing of the release right is important. If the opening day is not a holiday, it is almost impossible to break the previous records.

Happy New Year has recorded the highest single-day collections at around 46 of the 52 centres that we have received collections from so far. As per early estimates, the film has collected around Rs 39 crore on its first day at the box office, including business from regional versions like Tamil and Telugu – which is a record for the highest opening day collections ever. The film could challenge the highest collections first day collections in Rajasthan circuit even though the newly introduced entertainment tax has come into effect from August 1st (After first week of Kick, before Singham Returns).

Happy New Year has taken the best opening for a film released in 2014. The occupancy for the morning shows was better than other big openers like Singham Returns, Kick and Bang Bang. Happy New Year was also about 10-15% better than the second best opening this year.

Happy New Year has taken an outstanding opening all over on Friday at the domestic box office. The early morning reports suggest that most shows held as early as 7 in the morning are packed to capacity. The opening that Happy New Year has taken is on-par with expectations from a Shahrukh Khan Diwali release and the advance booking for the rest of the day is incredible too.
