London Dreams Box office updates
All London Dreams Box office updates will be published here.
A few multiplexes in Bangalore : Started slow, morning shows were poor (20%).. but has picked up for the afternoon shows (40 – 50%). The word of mouth is good.
Mumbai : In Mumbai too the start was slow (30%) afternoon shows were better. But lower than expected for a big budget film starring Salman Khan.
4:00 PM IST update – Single screens are poor, business has picked up after a slow start this morning. Advance booking for evening shows are good. Critic reviews and audience reactions are pretty positive.
7:15 PM IST update – Business has doubled for the evening and night shows. Few screens at select multiplexes in Bangalore, Delhi and Mumbai are sold out (shows are 9PM). For those curious, Aladin looks almost certain to be a disaster, unless it picks up on Saturday and Sunday.
11:00 PM IST update – Day 1 at multiplexes was mixed for London Dreams. Collections improved drastically during the later half of the day at multiplexes. Not doing too well on single screens. More updates tomorrow, stay tuned.
*********************************
Saturday updates
Bangalore – Good business at multiplexes throughout the day, especially INOX and PVR Cinemas. Single screens aren’t too great in Bangalore.
Mangalore (Karnataka) – Fantastic collections at Big Cinemas (Bharat Mall). When we contacted the Manager of the multiplex he said “London Dreams is doing well, family audiences are loving it, collections should improve further on Sunday. Aladin opened very poorly, around 10% occupancy for the Morning show on Saturday. Its targeted at the kids and Sunday being a holiday, we expect a better response.”
Mumbai – Much like Bangalore, Business has picked up after a slow start on Friday. Sunday is expected to be even better.
Overall, all India business for the first 2 days should be around Rs 100 million (10 crores – nett gross).
*********************************
Sunday updates – Appreciation from the youth and family audience alike has resulted in excellent collections on Sunday all over. Doubled the collections of Saturday, which is a good sign. The weekend business is around 15 – 17 crores.
*********************************
Monday – The India Australia cricket match has affected collections. Overall Week 1 collections are expected to be somewhere between 24 – 28 crores, which is good. Much like Blue, second week is crucial for London Dreams. But unlike Blue which had no competition in its second week, two biggies release this Friday – Jail and Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani. While Jail wouldn’t prove to be much of a competition, Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif’s APKGK would be the first choice next week. Will London Dreams show life this weekend or end up being an average grosser, remains to be seen.
Tuesday – Bad news! The collections have dropped after recording decent collections on Monday. The drop was expected (since Monday was a holiday) but with 2 big releases coming up, the show-count would reduce drastically at multiplexes for London Dreams. A HIT seems highly unlikely now. Open second week would have been ideal. Lifetime nett gross should struggle to touch 40 crores in India.
*********************************
Updates: London Dreams crashed further on Wednesday and Thursday. The first day of Week 2 (Friday) saw a drop of more than 75% compared to its first Friday. Lifetime nett gross should be under 31 – 32 crores which would be way below expectations. Below average / Flop likely. Very disappointing.
- First weekend – 15 crores
- Week 1 – 23 crores
- Week 2 – 7 crores
Total in 2 Weeks – 30 crores
Box office Verdict – FLOP

punit: (October 31, 2009 at 8:26 pm)
AMISH, if akshay can guarantee a good opening, then why his movie 8×10 tasveer opened to jz 15-20%. BLUE got a good opening bcz of d concept not akshay kumar. In d two weeks it jst collected 42crore net. And jst 32 crore in its first weekend. WANTED in its first week itself crossed 36 crore net & its two week total was around 53 crore net & itz d first blockbuster of 2009… Itz d concept matters not hype makes d movie hit or flop. I hope u dnt mind these figures….

amish: (October 31, 2009 at 11:13 pm)
Punit- ha ha no hard feelings bro.. i know concept matters but akshay does give a gud openin. tasveer was not promoted well enough n it was released durin that producer multiplex strike so it was affected. hope u agree.;) ya wanted has collected 60 cr net so far. salman s a great actor and in LD he has done a fantabulous job:) but the movie lacks somethin especially music n sometimes a bit borin also. as far as Wanted s concerned only salman suits to that character radhe… n thats hw he s real life.. takin panga wit many..;) so ppl liked it. had seen that movie in tamil n telugu also. so i didnt find it so excitin as it was scene to scene dress to dress copy;)
Abhinav- ya i copied it from box office india just for comparison.;) i did put that article on top that all the best s above average n blue s average. LD cant go for 2 long as next wk ajab prem ki… and jail r comin.. it has to mak it in this wk only. hope u don mind on my comment. i just tell my opinion bro… don get angry on me:) i found LD to be above average fare dude. no hard feelin again;)

i dnt understand y dnt u guys dnt like salman………….sometimes i feel u guys r too much rude with him…………..London Dreams will definitely be a super-hit, if not blockbuster………..bcoz it has sallu in it

London dreams is extremely good movie with best performance by salman khan. It will do a good buisness. Reviews are good and mostly ppl liking it.
Tawhid: (November 1, 2009 at 3:15 am)
@amish i dont knw why u compare sallu nd akshay. akshay is jst become a superstar jst few days ago. but sallu is da biggest superstar 4 all time. he has given too many blockbuster in his career nd his fan following is growing day by day.
definitly i am sure for this
london dream will break the all records of collection
