Welcome Back Friday (Day 1) Box Office Collections

Welcome Back has exceeded expectations on Day 1 at the domestic box office. The film has collected Rs 14.35 crore on Friday, which is higher than the opening day business of films like ‘ABCD 2’, ‘Gabbar Is Back’ (partial holiday) and ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’.

Both single-screens and multiplexes have performed well on Day 1. In our box office prediction last evening, we had mentioned that the film had the potential to surprise like ‘Singham Returns’ did on Independence Day last year. The tremendous recall value of ‘Welcome’, mainly due to its popularity on television, has helped the sequel on Day 1.

The word-of-mouth is positive, so the film has the potential to touch or even cross the 50 crore mark in its first weekend.

#IndicineFBO: We predicted Rs 11.5 crore on Day 1, but Welcome Back has performed way better than expected.

  • Tantalizing!!! Great!!! Come WB Lead d way for an even better collection on day 2! Yupp definitely surpassing it’s budget meaning that 100 crores should welcome “the movie” back to the prestigious century club?
    Happy for Anil and Nana but more joyous for JOHN ABRAHAM??

  • All indications WB is out 4 a 56 crores minimum weekend collection!
    Will John be d next non A-list member to achieve after what Sidharth Malhothra did with his movie Brothers? Attain the 20 crores single day? I think it’s yes and that’s going to be either on Saturday or Sunday!!!! Good luck WB!!

  • so taking risk of not casting akshay paid off…best of luck for the weekend..alarming sign for next week release hero

  • Its gaining these coz of tremendieus recal without akki, i know he is nowhere near to khans and heritik but he is undoutably a much bigger star than John.seriosly without any bias it could have crossed the 20cr mark with him.

  • Excellent! That too with poor promos and songs.
    Welcome has gained cult status on TV that helped it tremendously.

    When I went to watch Drishyam and Welcome back trailer was played I could hear people gossiping waah welcome Ki 2nd part aa rhi hai coz it is loved on TV a lot.

    Can’t say the same about Housefull series films though.
    HF is not that much liked,though HF 2 enjoys a good run on TV.

  • You quite underestimated it!!
    Even comedy films like Humshakals opened with 11crs so welcome back was always going to surpass this figure.

  • So @original warrior is none other than the biggest chameleon of indicine —- Anand original and he keeps calling others chameleon! Bloody hypocrite!

    He bashes Aamir fans becoming @Dangal Pandey ,bashes srk using several different ids,bashes hrithik too n yet acts as a saint and calls others as chameleon when he himself is!

  • No doubt dumb fans of Joker Boy like Darth kSHITij n Fanny Chechi will say its brand power that helped the film but when it collects 100cr they will still argue it would have collected 200cr had Jokey Boy been there. Joker Boys films cant collect 100cr anymore n they dream of 200cr…!

  • These are some solid numbers to start with. With the family friendly genre the movie has surely given itself a chance at box office now.

  • My show time was 2 pm almost housefull……even they hike ticket prices
    I spend 200 rs….
    At the same time and place I watched bajrangi bhaijaan…. I spend that time … 250 rs…let’s move on ….
    my short review…
    1st welcome was phenomenal….
    2nd welcome was ok ok type…
    For me it’s one time watch movie….
    I guarantee it movie will not bored u….
    Anil and nana steal the show…
    Both these r just mindblowing….
    John is playing side actor role really….
    At one scene (I will not tell u that scene, I don’t want to spoils it) I laugh almost 10 min….that scene was phenomenal….
    Ending was crap….otherwise its entertainer movie…
    Songs r disappointed…
    Totally Mindless comedy film…but 1st welcome was best one….
    Raiting for welcome back….
    2.75/5…

  • Prabhu deva calls akki, prabhudeva :” Hello akshai sir, prabhu hereuuu, just hearddd that ‘walcome backkk’ has collected more than 15
    karrods on 1st day, how muchhhhuuuuu u r akspecting for ‘sib’?”

    Akki :” Prabhu we already discussed it na, anything over 10 crores on 1st day would be considered as a very good opening for a movie starring flopstar like me, i am hoping 12-14 crores”

    Prabhu: “ayyo akki sir it’s verry lessuuuuu , i am hoppping for atuleast 15+ karrods, i wantuuu u to promote sib too muchhhh, want to cee sib open to arrround 18 karrods”

    Akki : “No matter how much i promote my movies they always take a poor opening compared to other superstars, u know about my ‘crowd pulling’ capacity na, i am afraid one day even sunny leone could overtake me, my fans………”

    Prabhu : Ayyo akki sir….. now these even bad days comeuuuu (he translates the hindi sentence ‘ab itne bi bure din agaye kya’ word by word)? whai didnt u do ‘walcome backkk’ & ‘heira pheree’ sequel sir?”

    Akki :”ye actually i rejected those movies. i rejected bcos the producers & directors of those movies rejected me,as they rejected me i rejected them, if a movie’s cost is 50 crores then i ask a remuneration of 25 crores, is it too high? I even agreed to reduce my remuneration by 50 rupees but the producers laughed at me saying “aapka dil kitna bada hei, aap kya sochthe hei ye 50 rupees discounted amount se hum sarook khan ko karidlenge ?”, i told them “sarook tho kudh apne paise dekhe kudh apni publicity karaletha hei , usse tho 5 rupees bi bahut zyada hei, i am not that cheap, 50 rupees se koi akshay kumar ko karid nahi sakta”.

    Prabhu :” but our’uuu producer’uu paiduu 23 karoods to u na?”

    Akki:” at that time i reduced my remuneration by 5 lacs”

    Prabhu:” so 5 lacssss mei aaapp meiruku ‘bheekh’ gaye!”

    Akki:”oye prabhu i am not a beggar, it’s not ‘bheekh’ its ‘bhik’ u mean to say 5 lakhs me mei bhik gaya?”

    Prabhu:” Abba i am sureuuu SIR SIB will many records (trying to divert the topic) but firstuuu it should get good openingggg”

    Akki:” u r diverting the topic, do u think i am such a cheap actor?”

    Prabhu:” ayyo sir i am sureuuu SIB will break PK records and u will gettttt ur 1st ATBB after being in the industry for more than 20 years”

    Akki:” (with a smile on his face) my fans are in love with my buffoon act in SIB and many of them especially BVS ( i think this BVS on indicine is none other than the chameleone babaji ka thullu himself, he predicted that brothers would do 250 crores!) are dreaming about my 1st ATBB and even i …………………………” (interrupted by prabhu)

    Prabhu:” sir good newszzz for u , PRDP trailerrrr will be attaaached with our movie……..” (interruption)

    Akki:”oh! so now SIB opening will be 15+ crores pukka then!”

    Prabhu:”sir, PRDP trailer will be releaseddd on youtube before it gets attaacched to our movie”

    Akki with a oofff sound: “Prabhu how can u expect something which even i don’t expect it to happen in my dreams ? 18+ crores opening mere baas ki baath hei kya?”

    Prabhu:” hahahaha accttually i was somewhat drunkkkkk sir, was justuuu kiddingggg with u”

    Akki:”Prabhu teri ………………………………………………………………………………………………………….”

  • According to Akshay fans

    Dhoom 2 is blockbuster due to john

    Dhoom 3 is blockbuster due to Hrithik

    BB is hit due to Tom Cruise
    Don(SRK) is hit due to AB sir

    Brothers is flop due to Tom Hardy
    OUATIMD is flop due to Ajay

    Sare logics ki maa bahen kar di

  • Congrats @indicine !!!
    Yet again our predictions becomes wrong…
    Now WB will collect around 52 – 54 cr
    In its 1st weekend…
    Life time BO Collection should be around 105 Crs…
