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

    raghu akshay is th bigger star now, the crwd pulling he generates nowadays which salman can match, look at the opening of all his films in those 2 years. You make me laugh, if akki was nothing back in the 90s, why did he get a song after his name in khiladiyon ka khiladi, it was one of hihgest grossing films of the year. like main hoon seede saade akshay”, why didn’t salman or srk get songs after their name if they were so big.

    this is what he did in 2009

    CC2C – 80% opening did good business from weekend, monday fell due to bad reviews
    Kambaakht Ishq – Humongous opening
    Blue crashed Main Aur mrs Khanna single handly, where was salmans power?
    London Dreams – 30% opning. my god.

    After 90’s Salman started the millennium with a hit Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge.. bellow is the list:

    1. Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge (2000)_ Hit
    2. Har Dil Jo Pyaar Karega (2000)_ Hit
    3. Chori Chori Chupke Chupke (2001)_ Hit
    4. Hum tumhare Hai Sanam (2002)_ Semi Hit
    5. Tere Naam (2003)_ Hit
    6. Baaghwan (2003) _ Super Hit
    7. Garv (2004) _ Hit
    8. Mujhse Shadi Karoge (2004) _ Hit
    9. Lucky (2005) _ Semi Hit
    10. Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya (2005)_ Hit
    11. No Entry (2005) _ Super Hit
    12. Partner (2007) _ Blockbuster
    13. Wanted (2009) _ Blockbuster

    Aandaz was not a hit, it was below average! Akshay must be feeling lucky that he got 2 opportunities to be a part of 2 Salman’s movies and also Akki must be proud that the biggest Super-Star of India Mr. Salman Khan is one of his best friend, who is the most handsome man in Asia and in India! Please don’t compare an average actor Akki with the huge and the biggest Super-Star Salman… it is quite rediculous to compare a 2nd class actor (Akshay) with the superb 1st class blinking Star (Salman)!

     
    farhad:  (November 1, 2009 at 6:56 pm)

    raaj sing all those films u mention were average and flops apart from partner, wanted, no entry and msk. andaaz was a known hit, check the trade sites. lolz.

     
    farhad:  (November 1, 2009 at 6:58 pm)

    sundeep ur right bolly wants superhit, thats why mamk is a disaster, LD looks it will have an average run, and sallu has the least hits post 90s of the top 5, Hirthik, amir, srk and akki surpass him.

    In Wlecome, there were super-stars like Firoz Khan, Anil Kapoor and Nana Patekar with hot hot Katrina Kaif and also the sexy mallika Sherawat…. above all the Music was fantastic… these all stars and music of the film is definitely the crowd puller, u can’t deny it just like I am also not denying that Akshay also can pull some crowd! Bhool bhulayya was not a solo film for Akshay… Shiney Ahuja was there who alread had given a hit on his debut ‘GANGSTER’ before Bhool Bhulayya, Namastey London had a new sensation and once Mr. international Upen Patel and of course the most wanted hotie Katrina Kaif.. so… u know! Many unknown heroine got hit films when they were with Salman, example: Akshay’s wife Twinkle did almost 20+ films but only 1 Hit film she has under her belt and that is with none other than Mr. Salman Khan (Jab Pyar Kisise Hota Hai), Ayesha Takia has only 1 successful films in her entire 5 years career and that is ‘WANTED’, Southern actress Revati got only 1 hindi hit film LOVE with Salman, Bhagyashree also has 1 (Maine Pyar Kiya), Ayesha Julka’s 1st and debut film was hit (KURBAAN) with Salman Khan, Chandni Patil also has only 1 super-hit film (Sanam Bewafa) with Salman, Sneha Ullal, Bhumika Chawla, Naghma… they all get 1-1 hit films in their life and those are with Salman Khan! Every struggler and forgotten stars comes to Salman for help and support, even SRK came to Salman and Sallu provided him home for sleep and food for eat in SRK’s struggling days in Mumbai’s street, Govinda’s career was rescued by Salman’s help (Partner), Himesh Reshamiya, Sajid Wajid, Afzal Khan, Inder Kumar, Sanjay Bhansali, Katrina Kaif they all are helped and supported by Salman!

     
    AMIT:  (November 1, 2009 at 7:11 pm)

    sallu is best among all……he is the real superstar…/london deram’s success says everything

     
    farhad:  (November 1, 2009 at 7:16 pm)

    ahahaha shiny’s gangster was above average or semhit, lol u think shiny can deliver a superhit, shiny had no presence or role in the film, it was one man show. and nana, what has been his hit? ahahaha. and feroz khan is old, i can say wanted had vinod khanna, national award winning acting prakash raaj.

    shiney is no star. salman fans make me laugh, Jab Pyar kisi se hota hai was above average, not a hit. tere naam was above average. and you cant solely credit maine pyar kiya success to sallu, he was new back then, bhagashri had more of a leading role.

    for ur info, bhagam bhaag released before partner, hence akki gave govinda sir his hit in years

    if u talk of solos post 90s, akki has Andaaz – 2 new herione and producers 1 hit, namastey london – vipul shah and katrina’s 1st clean hit, kats credits akki for her struggling days, BB, akki was only hero, he had no herione paired with him, singh is king

    garam masala – one time model actresses, lolz, who knows them, hit. Khiladi, abass mustan’s 1st success hit, solo and ayesh jhulka’s 1st hit. main khiladi tu anari, saifs 1st hit with akki in title role.

     
    Raj Singh:  (November 1, 2009 at 7:24 pm)

    Nauman, please correct ur knowledge before reply, if u don’t like a movie that means it is not a flop, for example: Garv was a hit movie not flop at any cost check any box office report and Salman was nominated for best actor’s award for Garv! hum Tumhare Hai Sanam was an average to semi hit film… not flop, okay? Salman’s flops after 1999 are Tumko na bhool payenge, Phir Milenge, Dil ne Jise apna Kaha, Shadi Karke phas gaya yaar, Hello, Heroes, Saawan, Babool, Jaan-e-Man, Sawariya and Main aur Mrs khanna! If u claim that baghwan and No entry are not his films then how can u claim that the flop films are his like Hello, Heroes, Saawan, Babool, Jaan-e-Man, Sawariya and Main aur Mrs khanna.. in all these movie salman was doing supporting role except Jaan-e-Mann which has Akshay in it!

     
    farhad:  (November 1, 2009 at 7:30 pm)

    Garv wasn’t a hit, it was above average, and yeh salman was appreciated. by the way MSK and janeeman belonged to akki.

    Salman had special appearance in bhaag bhan man, he has 3 mins app in the begining then come in the end in the last 10 minutes.

     
    Raj Singh:  (November 1, 2009 at 7:33 pm)

    don’t u see Akshay only managed to do a villanous role and supporting role infornt of Salman, ask urself why the producer or directors are not giving Akshay the main hero role when he is in a movie with Salman? Why Akshay is doing 2nd lead role or negative role why not hero over Salman? U made me laugh by comparing a 2nd class actor with the biggest super-star of bollywood (Mr. Salman Khan)! Katrina was forgotten after BOOM but salman brought her back with a hit film ‘Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya’, and Akshay got a hit heroine his lucky charm (Akshay admit himself that Katrina is his lucky charm at the press conference of ‘BLUE’) Kat just because luckily he is among Salman’s friend’s list! that’s why Akshay comes to Salman on just 1 call from Salman, SRK tried to bee friend with Akshay, SRK visited Akshay in his film’s set to take him away from Salman but Akshay had shown loyality to Salman Khan and remain among salman’s friends and a member of Salman camp! Why???
