Weekend Box Office Collections: Creature 3D, Finding Fanny and Mary Kom

Creature 3D and Finding Fanny were the two releases last weekend. Mary Kom was running on 75% fewer shows compared to its first week. Raja Natwarlal was out of most theatres and Mardaani is nearing the end of its run.

With 3 films contributing more than 90% to the all India business of Hindi films, we review the weekend ending 14th September.

Starring Bipasha Basu in a scary film directed by Vikram Bhatt, Creature 3D was expected to take a good opening at the box office. However, the film started slow and didn’t show enough growth in business over the weekend. Single-screen business was decent, but the film was a complete washout at multiplexes in cities. Circuits like Mysore were disastrous.

Creature 3D Weekend Collections

• Friday – 3.25 cr
• Saturday – 3.65 cr
• Sunday – 4.48 cr
• Total – 11.38 cr

Homi Adajania’s Finding Fanny was the first choice at multiplexes last weekend. The film dominated business at high-end multiplexes and managed to collect more than the combined business of Creature 3D and last week’s release Mary Kom. The Deepika Padukone – Arjun Kapoor starrer had a decent weekend, but now relies on weekdays to recover its costs. The film has to collect around 40 cr to be a success at the domestic box office.

Finding Fanny Weekend Collections

• Friday – 5.1 cr
• Saturday – 7.06 cr
• Sunday – 7.75 cr
• Total – 19.91 cr

And finally, the second weekend business of Priyanka Chopra’s Mary Kom was below the mark. The film had a huge advantage of tax free status in several states, but couldn’t take advantage due to average content. It will finish with lifetime collections of around 55 cr net. Average.

Mary Kom Second Weekend Collections

• 2nd Friday – 1.24 cr

• 2nd Sunday – 2.65 cr
• 2nd weekend total - 6.33 cr
• Grand Total in 10 days – 49.16 cr

Raja Natwarlal has ended its run with net box office collections of Rs 29 cr. FLOP.
