Baby First Week Collections and 2nd Friday Update

Akshay Kumar’s Baby has collected Rs 63.82 crore in its first week at the box office, but the huge drop in business on weekdays followed by yet another drop on 2nd Friday, has pretty much sealed its fate.

Even though the start last week was slow, Baby did show good growth over the extended 4-day weekend. The film sustained well on Tuesday too, but the drops on Wednesday and Thursday was nearly 20% on each day.

Looking at the collections in the morning today (2nd Friday), Baby has done better than all new releases, but the collections are likely to go below the 3 crore mark today. The film will finish as an ‘Average’ grosser at best.

Baby First Week Collections (6 days)

  • Friday – 9.3 cr
  • Saturday - 11.17 cr (20% growth)
  • Sunday - 15.6 cr (39% growth)
  • Monday - 14.9 cr (4% drop)
  • Tuesday - 5.1 cr (66% drop)
  • Wednesday - 4.25 cr (17% drop)
  • Thursday – 3.5 crore (18% drop)
  • Total collections in first week - 63.82 cr

  • Film has been affected by the review by baby nipun…. Mass audiences thought film was a dossier of crappy manipulative reviews by wannabe critic nipun kumari so have decided against watching the film…!

  • Really Disappointing..I hope it gets average it does’nt deserve to be a flop..

    Special 26 collected 70crs with Hit/semi hit verdict in 2013 and BABY will finish around 80crs with one republic day holiday..so yes it’s damn disappointing!

  • the film is a perfect thriller
    business is not upto the mark though (but who cares ).
    2015 started with a bang
    grt films never do grt business in indian boxoffice.
    baby proved that fact again.

  • baby will get average verdict….atleast movie not flop at all but taking about gabbar…. gabbar is totally masala movie, u will see item nos, action, drama, emotion, songs and I heard that ramana was very good movie….I guarantee it movie will get huge response from masses n classes….
    personally waiting for main gabbar….

  • i again want to clarify one thing that baby has again proved that fb likes nd twitter trending is completely bullshit.
    Akki has more fans on fb than srk nd baby was trending on twitter non stop at the time of its trailer release.
    Lekin kya fayda huva.
    1.3 cr se jyada fan hai akki ke fb pe.agar har ek banda 100 rs ki average ticket price leta or film dekhta to bhi 130 cr to bnte the lekin half hua hai collection.
    kya fayda esi fake likes ka?
    khud akki fans ne hi is film ko reject kr diya hai.
    ek bat hamesha yad rakho – internet world se bahar bhi ek bahut bade numbers me general audience hai or vahi films ka fate decide krti hai.
    ab indicine ki ek bat se me sehmat nahi hu ki trailer bahut pehle release kiya tha.happy new year ka trailer or chennai express ka trailer bhi 1.5 to 2 months pehle hi aaya tha release se.
    bat hai yaha pe apne dam pe opening lane ki.
    don 2 isi genre ki film thi or 2011 me release hui thi vo bhi baby se kam screens ya uske jitne hi screens me lekin it got the opening of 14+ cr in 2011 where ticket prices bhi aaj jitne mahenge nahi the.
    don2 ne us wqt 46-47 cr mare the first weekend me.
    ye dikhata hai ki movie ka genre bhale hi koi bhi ho lekin ek superstar apne dam par to pehle 3 din collection la skta hai.
    jai hind.

  • This film heavily copied from argo and most of its target audience may have already seen it so for them or was nothing new
    Plus akki isn’t a star who has a big fan following t to watch all his movies….. Only some fools like babaji ka lota made it out to be a cult classic when it was hardly above average

  • I am really feeling disappointed to read this article . I loved Baby and it is a fabulous movie . I sincerely hope that Babt atleast gets the verdict of Above Average which will be consider successful . If good movies do not become successful then nobody will try to make different kind of movies . Some people say Akshay always does stupid movies and he doesn’t know acting . But when he delivers a movie like Baby which has brilliant content and mindblowing performance then what is the result ? Seriously sometimes i don’t understand audiences . I was really glad when AJ and Tevar were flops because both were masala movies and did not offer anything new to audiences . But when Baby released it is a different subject now many people will say many movies on terrorism has been made . I just want to tell them how many movies were based on Terrorism from start to finish . Madras Cafe was a brilliant movie but it was based on Sri Lankan Civil War and the conspiracy behind Rajiv Gandhi’s assassination . D – Day was also a brilliant movie . But Baby was based on Counter Terrorism . It really was a nail biting edge of the seat thriller . After seeing the collections of Baby i will not be surprised if Akshay again does masala or commercial potboilers . Because if not 100 CR the movie atleast deserved to be successful . I am still hopeful that something can happen and it should happen . Because if that does not happen then i will be really disappointed . I don’t want Baby to join the list of brilliant movies which were fabulous, had amazing screenplay and performances but still failed at the Box Office . Fingers Crossed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Baby was never expected to do well because critically acclaimed , song less and well made movies never do well in India. Only masala , over the top action , unwanted item numbers and sex ridden movies work in India.
    Next in line is Shamitabh. I know it’s going to be a brilliant movie but will not do more than 50 crore. I hope to be proved wrong and the movie does well .

  • @aman’s lota when did i called baby a cult classic? Go and read my review you retarded idiot.
    And don’t worry akki has huge following,it’s about how a film is packaged and marketed..
    I bet you loser show me your face if dangal breaks dhoom 3 or even pk’s opening day/weekend/lifetime record..

  • @srk: srk you are right in some aspects but completely…
    If someone likes akki on FB that does’nt mean he/she becomes his fan and will watch all his films in theatre..
    Regarding Don 2,it was still stylish with cheesy dialoges,franchise factor,popular female actress in PC.

  • What should these people do?

    Neeraj Pandey: Make his next movie after M.S Dhoni Biopic with Salman or both Salman and Akshay as Sallu is also looking for content orientated movies now-a-days and he has huge fan following. Even if the movie is average(Impossible!!![I hope]) it will collect at least 150 Cr giving Neeraj Ji an audience who will watch all his next movies as fans of Imtiaz, Anurag or Hirani do. He should then create the best script possible and cast his favourite Akshay and Anupam and the movie will cross 100 Cr at least! The reason I did not say to make a movie with Aamir is because then Neeraj’s next will not release for five years which I do not want.

    Akshay Kumar: Promote his movie as Baby would have guaranteedly collected 80Cr by now if he promoted it. His film choices is good at most times but he should diversify himself into different genres each year(since I know he will continue to do 4 to 5 films a year)
    1 Comedy Film (Heyy Babyy, Hera Pheri, etc)
    1 Action or Masala film (Rowdy Rathore, etc)
    1 Critically acclaimed film(Baby, etc)
    1 Romantic film(Namaste London, etc)
    1 multistarrer film of any genre

  • Baby would have easily done 200 crores in India if it had huge promotion as HNY and was released solo on Diwali/Christmas. . . SRK fans lyk @kingshuk should remember without huge promotion and release on same day as Baby, HNY would have struggled to cross 120 crores. . . . Lack of hype and clash affected Baby.

  • y u r trying 2 call baby A flop or average ??? S26 ne 1st week k baad around 27 cr kmaaye nd Baby Bhi itna kma legi nd lifetime will be 90+ So u r so much in hurry to call baby A Average ??????????

  • @thullu carrier

    Keep your anti dhoom 3 agenda aside for now as we both are eagerly awaiting for Dhoom 4 to prove once n for all who is the bigger crowd puller…. Im sick n tired of your boastfulness n general all round stupidity when it comes to D3s success being down to the invisible dhoom brand or jaadoo boy or yrfs marketing team…! Leave that fat elephant in the room alone n we can debate it another time..!

    @aman
    You right- our wrong number giving village idiot babuji called baby a patriotic classic but on what article I cant remember- let me find out if it was him or it could have been another akki fan but I reckon it was kshitij or one of his humshakal IDs…

  • evry1 movies r abt money..lke other actors other akshay..choose dere dates of release very carefully so dat dey cn mke gud amount of money,if this same movie baby ws released in december,it wud hv beaten a lot of records.bt akshay remains loyal to entertainment dan to comercial..so hb some respect for akki..foe if nt for hm..da first 6 mnths of evry year,,entertainment status wil go low
