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

Raj singh….. Your Right bro…
Farhad don be so sarcastic….dont evr compare Salman khan to Akshay man…. stop all your craps….. Akshay is known to peolpe from just 3 years he is a B grade actor….. SALMAN KHAN is a superstar form his first break Maine pyar kiya….
Salman hit % is quite eminent from Akki…. SALMAN is always salman, his is such a big superstara cross the globe…
Wanted is one eg… U guys call akki has khiladi stop calling… Can he do a movie like Wanted… CC2CC was a big flop… Blue is also a flop… Blore multiplex there wer around 8 people who came to watch on Diwali…

well said Priyanka.
yeah dey should work more 2gether.
@Asim dis Rajeev Masnad iz da biggest idiot around. he also criticized WANTED and to say LD is foolish is absurd.
i read somewhere dat he iz a friend of Sujoy Ghosh (director of Alladin) so dats probably why hes given such a patehtic review.

Nav: (November 2, 2009 at 1:12 pm)
thankx Saju Dey and Abhinav. dat guy’s intelligence is reflected by his looks. he’z stupid and ugly.
man say dat da film has some flaws but to call it foolish is crazy, really infuriates me.
BUT forget dat da film iz rockin and its gonna rock no doubt.
Also @ Khan u r rite SIK was just superhit.
i absolutely loved SRK in KKHH. he full deserved all da credit but Salman’s role was also important and it waz more dan a special appearnce, bit like NO ENTERY. important to da film.
U SEE FILMS LIKE HELLO, SAWAAN, MAMK ETC HEZ ONLY IN DA FILM FOR BOUT 10 MINS, 4-5 SCENES DAT IZ WAT U CALL A SPECIAL APPEARANCE. IF DA FILM SUCCEEDS DA CREDIT GO TO DA CAST NOT SALMAN. AND IF DA FILM FAILS DEN ITS NOT HIZ FAULT. SO EITHER WAY HE DOESNT LOSE.
BUT IT WAZ UPSETTIN COZ MAMK WAS BEING PORTRAYED AS HIZ FILM AND IT CLEARLY WASNT. I CLICKED ON AFTER HALF AN HOUR.
ANYWAYZ ILL SHUT UP AND HOPE DAT LD CONTINUES TO ROCK.

guyz lets not talk bad bout MNIK. we aint even seen da promo yet or anything so don’t be slagging da film or da cast off.
but dis thread is for LD so lets stay on da topic plz coz MNIK iz 3 and half months away.
I have seen the movie, I think Rajeev Nasand has gone out of his mind and calling this movie “foolish”, I think he should quit this job, many of the films he has degraded and came as super hit or blockbuster, when you citically review films , it is understanbale that to seek the plot of the film but commercial touch is very necessary which lacks in Masand’d review, like Veer ZARA of SRks, had fundamental fault that, after he resigned, he went to lahore(Pak) right away to meet Priety, which is not allowed in normal practice, you have to wait at least 2 years to fly to your sensitive nabours., but every bodu accpted the movie regardless of this major flaw, even the visa and other hurdles were also therem but this is commercial cinema not ART, so it requires some ease and loosen up attitude towards the movie, Rajeev MAsand is a loser
