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

    maine pyar kiyu kiya was a semihit check bollywood hungama or BOI, she was unotieced as sush stole the limelight, i agree salman intoruduced kats to bolly and thats why she got movies, but she started her success with akki, NL her 1st major hit. and Akki stole the show dude in MSK, doesn’t what role he was playing, he was praised more, msk is a comedy film and akki got best comedian award for MSK in IFFa, and nom at filmfare.

    Akshay also asked lara to do blue so whats the difference? also raveena 1st hit off with akki, mohra her 1st clean hit, pathar ke phool was semihit not hit.

    Basically mujhse shaadi karoge was 1st salman hit post 90s, check 2000 till 02, all sallu films grossed less than aankhein (4 highest grosser of 2002), ajnbaee, dhadkan, Hera Pheri, Awara Pagaal Deewana which above average and were bigger grossers. Andaaz had 2 new heriones, and look where they are now as opposed to bhumika, where is she? So its David hawan who gave sallu a chance in MSK but akki stole the show.

    nauman except dulhan hum le jayenge,lucky & hum tumhare hai sanam(avg) all movies all hit or superhit.
    no entry,tere naam,msk,wanted & partner were superhit & thease movies were in top 5 biggest hits of that years.
    londan dreames is a very good movie so i think it will going to be superhit.

    Here is new thing akki got for movies

    Hera Pheri – cult classic best comedy film of this decade
    Aankhein – awesome mindblowing thriller crime on bank robbery, 4th most success of 2002, shah nominated for best director.
    Khakee – awesome film by raajkumar santoshi on cop drama
    Bhool Bhuliya – what a good movie, psyco suspense thriller, it was loved by everyone, oringianl version got national award.

    and what did salman bring??? plagerised Partner, mindless outdated mithunda or raajnikaant like flick Wanted, thought it was entertaining, still mindless, london dreams looks quality.
