De Dana Dan Box office updates
Akshay Kumar’s De Dana Dan has opened to a fantastic response at the box office, once again reaffirming the stars super-strong fan following.
What came as a pleasant surprise are those long queues outside single screens across the country, with poor quality theaters in the remotest areas of Bangalore and Mumbai bustling with people all excited to catch Akki, Paresh and Suniel once again on the big screen.
While the business during the weekends was strong all over the country, its the first working weekday business that holds the key to the film’s success at the box office. Fortunately for Akshay Kumar, unlike his other films this year, De Dana Dan held up pretty well on Monday recording close to 4 crores – aided big time by the strong business at single screens.
The reports in the media of a drop on Monday, is mainly restricted to the multiplexes, which witnessed a drop of close to 50%.
With both films (Paa – Radio) releasing this week, targeted mainly at the multiplex audience, the second week of De Dana Dan should remain strong on single screens. HIT status or more looks highly likely now.
****************************************
- Day 1 (Friday) – 6.75 crores
- Day 2 (Saturday) – 8.5 crores
- Day 3 (Sunday) – 8 crores
- Weekend – 23.5 crores
- Day 4 (Monday) – 3.25 crores
- Day 5 (Tuesday) – 2.75 crores
- Day 6 (Wednesday) – 2.25 crores
- Day 7 (Thursday) – 2.25 crores
Total Week 1 – 34 crores
****************************************
Week 2 – Not too great a start on its second Friday and with the Paa wave all over the country, De Dana Dan is no longer the first choice. Due to high costs and dip in business from Tuesday, the movie is likely to be the 3rd Average grosser for Akshay Kumar this year. 2 flops to begin the year and 3 average grossers to end it.
Week 2 is likely to be around 10 crores nett. DDD should wrap up under 50 crores.

Strong opening because of trio of Hera Pheri and priydarshan, the director, a succesful team. But not this time because of poor story and un-necessary comedy. Actor like johny leve, asrani done good job instead of lead actors.

I would love to see DDD to become a blockbuster but unfortunately I dont see that happening unless it has an excellent second weekend… Hit\Superhit for sure though :)

I saw DDD on saturday and liked it. Everybody were expecting ddd 2 b another Hera Pheri but film like Chupke Chupke(Dharmendra’s), Padosan(Sunil Dutt), Golmal (old one), Hera Pheri (Akshay kumar) comes in a life time not every time. I will watch it again next weekend on sunday with my group (8 to 10) friends, half of whom have already seen it. We never care about critics review, v just want entertainment not rocket science, even a film like TZP I ” ll not go 2 cinema hall, I can see it When it releases on DVD. One more thing I wil get to see Akki N Kats sizzling rain song…..!

Komal Nahta (trade analyst) tells us that the actual budget including the print and marketing costs of De Dana Dan is around 60 crores. Hence, the movie will need to do minimum 60 – 65 crores for HIT status..
The second week business will be very crucial now..
