Happy New Year First Week Collections

Happy New Year has just completed a successful first week at the box office. The film has recorded the 4th highest opening week collections of all time behind Dhoom 3, Krrish 3 and Kick (more on this in the next article).

After taking the biggest ever start with net box office collections of 44.97 crore on its opening day, Happy New Year held steady over the remaining two days in its first weekend. However, Monday onwards the film slowed down quite considerably.

The problem for Happy New Year were the sharp drops on each day since its release. Business on Saturday fell by almost 30%, which was expected, but the growth on Sunday was missing. Monday witnessed a huge fall of 53.5% from Sunday, and over the course of the remaining 3 days, the average drop was 14%.

Going into its second week, Happy New Year has lost a few shows and screens at multiplexes. But that shouldn’t make any much difference to the second weekend business, as it’s the occupancy that matters.

Overall, a good first week. The next three days will decide if the film can eventually challenge the lifetime business of Kick or does well enough to cross 200 crore at the domestic box office.

    SRK is the only Global Superstar Bollywood has!

    MNIK: risky 90s romance religion subject – 75 crores – verdict- HIT

    Ra.One: risky sci-fi ORIGINAL non-sequal – 115 crores – Verdict – HIT

    Don-2: risky european, hollywood B grade soft actioner – 108 crores – Verdict – SUPER HIT.

    JTHJ: risky outdated 90s romantic genre, 3 hrs 15 mins long – still 108 crores (despite competition from SOS) – verdict SUPER HIT.

    HNY: too long, flop director (TMK), 3 hrs+ long – verdict – 210+ – BLOCK BUSTER.

    ****now compare SRK’s versatile resume to Aamir*****

    TALAASH: risky suspense thriller genre, ORIGINAL, non-REMAKE- 80 crores – Verdict – ABOVE AVERAGE

    ****now compare SRK’s versatile resume to Salman****

    VEER: risky historic actioner genre, ORIGINAL, non South REMAKE, 3 hrs long – 42 crores – Verdict – FLOP!

    SRK only one with 100+ crores in outdated non-action, non-comedy, non-masala genres: Romance, Sci-Fi, overtly long movies.

  • @Nilesh Hahaha are you out of your mind? You’re comparing Sachin with lallu khan??? Go home bhaitards you’re drunk.

  • Ha ha,HNY WORLDWIDE collection can definitely beat kick and krrish3.because OVERSEAS COLLECTION OF HNY already crossed 10MILLION USD.Any how HNY seems to collect 22—-25million USD.

    who cares about salmir fans.HNY’S TREND is steady not so bad.the main reason it couldn’t cross d3 because—-IT’S 3 HOUR LONG.HNY has an exceptional story in heist which has huge modification and extremely entertainment as well as well as EMOTIONAL WITH PATRIOTISM.SO It’s my kind request to every INDIANS if you love your country & have patriotism then support YOUR INDIAWAALE.

    Still I can say Farah Khan be far better in Her storyline just like she did it in MHN & OSO. Which contained huge emotions just like CE.but HNY has a very little sentiment compared with FORMER 2.I couldn’t blame FARAH like other SRKIANS or others because HER stories are HEART TOUCHING except tmk which was the best crap Bollywood has ever seen.BUT HNY deserves more than one time watch.

    also from the trailer release to film release HNY couldn’t get the best wom may be due to Farah Khan.but I trust her.still it’s MY wish KING KHAN should make INNOVATIVE FILMS even though whatever Films HE will choose, one thing sure every of them will touch MY HEART.

    @legend khan,we didn’t tell how many flops your amit has in 90’s(abovr 15- all are disasters).wr didn’t tell how bhai gave bck to back 10 flops during whole last decade while your amir used to give small hits with multiactors.waise half actors KI fans jyaada him kya umeed kar sakte hain?

    amir khan-4bbs(in whole career)-phir BHI baat aise karta HAIN jaise 10/12 bb diya ho.who failed to give 7 hit consecutively.biggest shame on this actor and on all of his fans who can’t make talash even a hit,LOL.

    salman khan-gave 5 bbs in row in EID mainly,still KING SRK holds biggest EID gross(422CR).buy I hope salman will chase this for next 4-5 year.that’s not a big deal of giving bo by making successful south remake,when he tried different that also in south remake with huge screen,his so called fans couldn’t make jai ho even a hit.who failed to give 6hits in arow.biggest shame on this dubbing star.

    COME ON salmir fans tell your star to give minimum 10 HITS in a row.then also they could compare WITH MEGASTARS LIKE BADSHAH SRK and RAJESHJI,lol.

    BUT STARDOM IS ALSO IMPORTANT—-

    KING KHAN is biggest crowd puller with out the help of any brand like dhoom3/south remake.but somehow lifetime collection will depend upon not good story it’s mainly due to MASALA content.otherwise all sallu’s mindless film don’t deserves even hit status,LOL.

    AFTER ALL,whatever salman/amir do,that will not affect even a little.BECAUSE THERE IS ONLY ONE RULER WHO IS CALLED KING OF BOLLYWOOD—–HE IS KING KHAN.

  • When srk movies collects more then hr or other stars then bcoz of high ticket prize but when movies like dhoom 3 type movies collect coz of movies lolz grow up salmir fans

  • no other websites declare hny a superhit except indicine..
    this clearly how much in a depression you r indicine….600 crore worldwide hahahahah

  • Movie will get blockbuster status but the question is .is really stardom of SRk since 2007 no film of SRK has lived expectations of SRK fans the Two films which lived srkians expectations 1.Ran ne bana do jodo collect 86cr but that crushed by aamirs ghajini by 30cr margin(in 2008 30cr margin is really huge which is nearly 100cr margin now a days) .
    Same happen with Chennai express was done 228cr but again 2008 scenario .the legend actor yet again crush the record again .
    SRK fans lived expectations from MNIK( personally it was not chance for film like MNIK to beat any records) Ra1 has good chance of beating records of 200cr film but that film drastically failed SRK stardom gave it 100 cr but the movie has to collect at least 160-180cr if SRK has to dominated to this world and Don2 have same I personally lliked it too much and I expected it will collect at least 160cr but still the film fails to cross even 120 cr that yet again big defeat for srkians .then JTHJ also failed not even it has chance to collect 100 cr but SRK fans expected it will cross 3idiots but still it crossing to120 cr .that Yr SRK fans have to celebrated but that Yr dominated by Salman .
    So its clear that SRK can’t be biggest superstar of Bollywood he is one of the biggest superstar but he is not the king or god that peoples talking . I never seen anybody aamir fans portray aamir Luke SRK fans.so SRK fans we respect ur emotions and love but u please come on earth don’t fly in sky

  • Waiting for PK now. I’m still hoping that HNY will break Kick’s record. PK will not be able to break D3’s record either according to me. Though anything can happen.

  • Great numbers. I still believe it can go pass kick but for that it needs good second weekend around 30 crore.

  • SRK should retire from Bollywood .
    he should have to produce 2-3 films with young actors or to take Aryan as a star .but please SRK go to your mannat .
    handle KKR and red chillies and chill out .
    u can’t compete with Salman and aamir .
    SRK is now waste in market .

    SRK should focus on those things he will definitely earning money and his fans also happy .and that will also good for his fans too .
    how much they will hate Salman and aamir because they have no answer thy

  • Today it is confirmed that boxofficeindia playing nice games and its all because of roshans manupulation which give them chance to do this and has been discuss in every site

  • yeah it underperformed
    but I am satisfied.
    we cant xpect blockbuster every time..
    though bang bang underperformed more aas I was xpecting a near 200 cr figures from it.hny stil I think wil manage to get dere.
    Its trailer wasnt as good as that of bang bang or kick.. I just want shahrukh to neva work again wid dat dumb woman farah.

  • @ Indocine- you said urself hny’s budget is than kick but for kick only hindi u said 230 needed to become blockbuster but for hny according to you more than 210 is enough why this kolaveri kolaveri d? i am sure it will collect less than 200 and it will remain as underperformed hit.

  • Srk’s disappointment hny 200+ Crs . Sallu’s disappointment jail ho 110crs , Aamir’s disappointment Talaash 90+crs…

  • Boindia doing great marketing strategy which make them discuss in every site i can bet on it according to them 121 in 5 days suddenly they announce 134 crr for a week i remember they done the same for jab tak hai jaan by deducting 15 crrs at the end of week and been discuss in ever site by srk haters

  • @js, who says salman has a boxer body? i am a boxer and i have not seen any boxer who have body like salman. it is an insult for us,

    @indicine then how can HNY get SUPER HIT status??? Strange!!!

  • @ indicine – ok, love for responding dehati and morons like us. still i feel if kick release at eid day it could do 250 crore business but becuz of piracy film got more harm in its business but we are happy that kick will remain highest grosser of the year.
    dnt know why some multipex reader like arjun and many srkians bring dehatis and rikshawaala’s here even the real dehati dnt read comments of theirs. you have to strict over these multiplex fools. otherwise i will become again in senseless mode.

  • Haterz have to worry and pray for a further drop for the film as there is a big chance the film can cross the 200cr mark and that will give them some serious headache because of 3 things:
    1- if HNY crosses the 200cr mark SRK will become the first actor ever to give two back to back 200cr films.
    2- If the film does 200cr+ SRK will also be the only actor alongside Aamir Khan to have 2 films achieving this.
    3- Trade may declare the film a Blockbuster for sure! even BOI will declare it a BB if it crosses ETT collections by 5 cr atleast! coz they have Krrish 3 as a Blockbuster even thougth it did only 179cr net (according to them!)

  • Honestly, it is an underperformance. SRK please don’t do commercial no-brainers, you’re too good for that.

  • @utpal

    You may well be a boxer but fighting at the ‘light flyweight’ division is an insult to genuine boxing fans who dont care much about two little paper thin boxers dancing around in the ring slapping one another… Our bhai jaan is strong enough to compete at the Heavyweight level n he can knock out cold the Klitschko brothers…!

  • @anand babu 12:48pm

    You feeling alright bro…? 44-46cr second week total…? No chance of that happening- one time watch movie n whole of PAGlapur is saturated with kings crappy overscting from the movie to last a yr until his next hamming project arrives.

  • @sem

    So you overlook HR bang bang was literally a hindi dubbed KNIGHT & DAY.

    So you also overlook HNY does not have BANG BANG 2 hrs running time.

    HNY with 2 hrs running time hiked ticket price & 5000 screens means
    50 crores (1st fri)
    40 crores (1st sat)
    42 crores (1st sun)

    This is something HR can never accomplish.

  • @ p.k. rancho

    SRK should reinvent himself instead of retire.

    SRK is the only proper stage theater trained superstar bollywood has. Rest are all overrated like salman aamir and hritik.

    SRK’s next is FAN.
    SRK’s next is RAEES.

    Both with bollywood outsiders. Thank god he will not waste his 49th and 50th year on bollywood garbage like rohit shetty and farah khan and farhan akhtar and anubhav sinha.

    Hopefully after FAN and RAEES, Anurag or Vishal or Raghavan signs up with Red Chillies.

  • @Indicine, So, your “Super Hit” Tag for HNY is based on future expectations. Not a Super Hit yet???
    What if the film does 180 Crores or 190 Crores? Will you change the status?
    Secondly, if Kick was sold for crazy high price, Red Chillies gave HNY to YRF for free??

    We need exact data of the selling prices for both HNY and Kick. Else, it is like you are making fun of yourself.

    @Utpal, R u a boxer? In your dream! If so, I am a MMA champion!
