Agneepath Day 2: Crashes at the box-office

Hrithik Roshan’s Agneepath has crashed at the box-office on Day 2, with collections just as shocking as Day 1. While the film opened to packed houses on the first day of it’s release, collections dropped by more than 50% on Day 2 – as the film managed only 11 – 12 crores nett in India.

Thursday was a Holiday (republic day), but as Friday was a working day, collections were expected to drop by around 30 – 35%. But a 11 crore drop, something that has never happened before, was totally unexpected.

There could be several reasons for this

  • As already mentioned above, Friday was a working day and collections always drop on the second day of a film’s release, especially when the first day is as huge as 23 crores. 
  • The family audiences might have stayed away, due to blood, gore and action.
  • Negative word-of-mouth at places – the film has dropped quite alarmingly in North India, which suggests that Agneepath could be carrying negative WOM. The film’s runtime and pace could be the biggest reasons. Not quite sure about this though, the audience verdict should be clearer by Sunday (i.e if the collections don’t pick on both Saturday and Sunday).

What remains to be seen – Will the film pick up on Saturday and Sunday? The two open weeks (next big release is on February 10th), will only prove to be beneficial if Agneepath manages to sustain well during the weekdays.

Even though the drop on Day 2 doesn’t augur well for the film’s future, things could still take a positive turn over the next two days.

  • please not compare SRK to other star…if u compare then please incluse overseas collection with india collection…..ra.one weekend worldwide – 92 crore( 5 days)…bodyguard – 89 crore(5 days) …don 2 weekend 87 crore( in just 3 days)…agneepath should range in between 80-85 crore(4 days)……still DON 2 all the winner……..a true stylish movie…..

  • like i said there was to much blood and killing in the movie but hritik acted well. i dont know why he choose this film and one more thing all you guys were taking about hritik star power than here it is. what a pity he can never be like khans. i hope this film atleast picks up on sat and sun otherwaise bad decision hrithik

    waisay jo bhi kaho Ra 1 and don2 ready ka total gross recod bhi tor nahee payee,,,,bodyguard ka to choro wo to door ki baat hay,,,,,,,,,so beeter luck for yash raj untitled film and chennai exp respectively,,,,

  • critics trade pundits and media are baised toward hrithik & unbaised toward k.k, taran komal rajev masand gave it 4.5 4 & 3.5 rating respectively which i think it is juzt overrated after watching AP..while they gave mixed review to don 2 which was a masterpiece itself and audience proved it making a superHit i dont know why everyone is so -ive toward king khan……huh

  • Ye to mujhe pata hi tha ki ab khan fans khanpuran shuru karenge,bt its not final verdict,wait fr sunday,then u ll get ur answer

  • Oh i didn’t expect this at all..but it’ll pick up..no worry..n after watching talaash trailer i doubt if it can even cross ghajini..looks like boring n may be 1 time match.

  • Its a working day bahana remembar don2 released on fri (working day) netted 16 crs n 2nd day sat(working day) was 16.75 crs from all versions… Even ra1 n bg netted 15+crs on their working days(which were their 3rd n 4th day not 2nd day)…in short difference b/w Khans n Non-Khans(plz dont take it as hindu-muslim war of mouth)

  • i am salman bhai fan ,

    agneepath movie which broke bodyguard record of 21.50 crore opening day by making 23 crore on first day….. agneepath on second day crashes badly to 11 crore…it is ra one of 2012 in making..which raone took good opening but after that crashs badly in the weekdays…..bodyguard second day was 19. 5 crore….so morale of the point still box office king or number 1 is…..salman bhai.

  • arakshan!!!!!!
    bodyguard still hold the record of fastest 100,,,,beat that,,,,,and 1st day well u now that ek ta tiger and dabbng 2 is cming so we will better talk than,,,,,,and by the way records are meant to be broken,,,,,,,,,,i agree srk is king w.w but still cant beat bodyguard by don 2 and ra1 world wide,,,,so

  • indicine are you mad

    how on earth can agneepath collect 20 + crore when it just managed 11 crore on second day.impossible

  • @ ashkaran. dont be so happie.. first look at the colection of ra1 n don2… ra1 didnt even beat ready n don2 didnt even beat golmaal.. u r very funny.. hahaha… if agnepath was made in 3D, it would have collected the biggest single day collection…. jus wait for dabang2 n ett,, n 1 gud news for every salma fans,, ett is releasing of 15th august n will have a 5 day weekend oe even 6 day weekend coz the nxt day after eid, people also celebrate,, n talkin abt srk new film wid yash raj,,it would be jus a muiltiplex film n other films will release along that film .that jus show no one is afraid of that film.. as far as salman is concerned. no one is daring to release their films along salman film…..

    n dear ashkaran… dont again make fool or urself during hte time of ra1 n don2.. srk films will collect over 200 crores. they will create history… whoever is feeling sad.. jus see the comments made by ashkaran during ra1,, u will die laughing…..
