Happy New Year Saturday Box Office Update

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.

For most films that do well at multiplexes, collections tend to peak on Saturday night, and this should be the case with Happy New Year too. The Shahrukh Khan film could record its second straight 40 crore day, but for that business has to pick up in the evening.

Happy New Year is rock-steady at single-screens too, which suggests that the word-of-mouth even with the masses is pretty good. Most films that aren’t carrying appreciation, begin to show drops at single-screens as early as Friday evening, that hasn’t been the case with Happy New Year. The film opened very well on Friday and remained steady throughout the day. Saturday too has opened on a very positive note.

Some updates from various cities across India

  • Pune: Multiplexes are steady with average occupancy of around 75-80% so far today. Advance booking is very good here, so occupancy could touch 100% for the night shows.
  • Kolkata: Huge! At some plexes the occupancy is comparable to Saturday, even though today is a working day.
  • Bangalore: Normal Saturday morning drop here, picked up in the noon. Night expected to be packed to capacity, as advance is very good.
  • Mumbai: Plenty of shows here, so the average occupancy including single-screens seems to be hovering around 50-60% today. Will pick up.
  • Mangalore: Yesterday morning the occupancy on 3 screens was a little lower than big films like Dhoom 3, but night shows were houseful. Today, the opening shows were better than yesterday!

  • LOL, talk about lying to everyone. Indicine is making up figures as always. Real figures are from BOI only.

    Real first day figure: 38.05 crore, not 44 as reported by liers Indicine. You are a joke Indicine, no one takes you seriously after the Krrish 3 debacle.

  • Ok guys, finally saw the picture today. In one word, it is a HUGE entertainer and more importantly never felt long at any point of time.

    The shows were not houseful today but the seats that were not filled are odd ones.

  • Just 2 minor stuff that I felt could have been bit better…

    Expected the heist to be different than what we saw in earlier movies but was no different from mission impossible theme. But that’s ok, it jelled well with the movie.

    A team with not great talent in dance and no practice , winning WDC is n not so easy. But here it seemed very easy. Maybe RBNBJ continues …?

    Apart from these which are also very minor, I felt the film is a thorough entertainer.

  • Plzzz somebody explain this incident…
    Last nighit indicine said hny collected 39 cr (early estimation).Then bhaitards were very much disappointed .They said it should have collected much more than that.Now when they r seeing actuals r better than what they expected,they r saying it is manupulated.What do they want??

  • @js. Hmmm SALMAN took eternity to cross 3i with masala genre and 5 successive Eid release. Lolz
    @bhai. That’s just Hindi figure. And even boi s total figure is 40.2 CRORES. So if we believe boi than ett s final tally is dismal 180 CRORES even after Eid release and 4 weeks empty to be precise. Ro mat yaar.
    Haters keep burning. Too much fun

  • @karthik. Double standard ki dukan. When official total for k3 is 180 but by manipulation they increased to 244 CRORES. U asked us to believe the producers version. We did
    Now when fox star studios themselves have claimed that it was released 4300screens in India u differ.
    It had not 1 not not2 but 6 holidays in its opening week. What else did u require. And what record did hr make that u r including him. Lolz
    Bang bang was bombed at the box office.

  • @ Optimus
    Typical SRK fans, can’t discuss without behaving rudely and childishly. If you disagree, just say so, no need to call names. Thats so SRKhey like, LOL

  • @Noam: SRK ki istri ke dukan…Get to know subjects first totally..no one denied the fact that fox said 4300 screens. Yes it is, but not completely. Due to Haider, there were many multiplexe screens which had 2 shows of Bang Bang and 3 of Haider. Then there were some single screens which had 2 shows of haider and 2 of Bang Bang. Screens which had only Bang Bang was 3300 screens. And screens which had both Haider and Bang Bang are 1000…Fox can still call it as 4300 screens, there is no manipulation in that…But in case of HNY it is total 5000+ screens/all shows in which it was played which is huge difference.

    You duffer you still believe that Krrish 3 was manipulated…wait for lifetime collections of HNY you will see a 50 crore difference between BOI n other portals…than you show your face…..

    When SRK does it, it is not manipulation for you and when HR does it is manipulation for you…

  • @Noam : you went missing & underground during D3 & Kick release n suddenly u appear now. Atleast we have guts to still be alive on Indicine & reply to your jokes !!!!!!!! Dont cry baby !!!!!!!!! enjoy the temporary relief !!!!!!!!!!!!
