Bang Bang has collected Rs 27-29 crore on its opening day at the box office, as per estimates based on collections from a few centres. The film took a gigantic opening on Thursday morning, which was the best occupany-wise for a film released in 2014.
Several exhibitors have confirmed to us that the ‘show count’ of Bang Bang at multiplexes was around 20-30% lower than Kick and Jai Ho, and also about 20% lower than Singham Returns. More than the screen count and the number of theatres, the number of shows is what stopped Bang Bang from putting up record-breaking numbers on Day 1.
Although Fox Star Studios has officially announced that the film has released on 4300 screens in India, trade sources have confirmed to us that the film has released on approx 3500-3600 screens including regional versions, which is the lowest for a big release in 2014.
A few other exhibitors have also informed us that the ‘Navratri’ festivities could have also made a slight dent in business in centres like West Bengal, Gujarat and a few others. At a multiplex in Valsad, the first day business was lower than both Agneepath and Krrish 3.
Add to it the fact that the film was competing with a critically acclaimed film like ‘Haider’, and the first day business of Bang Bang is excellent to say the least. All eyes will now be on how the film sustains over the extended weekend. The media and industry backing that ‘Haider’ is getting could begin to affect the business of Bang Bang at bigger centres today onwards.
Update: The official Twitter handle of Fox Star Studios has tweeted “Bang-buster news- #BangBangMovie set to be in the Top 5 openings of all time. New records for Hrithik & Katrina Kaif. Have u gone Bang Bang yet?”
The Top 5 opening of all time before the release of Bang Bang is as follows: Dhoom 3 – 36.22 cr, Chennai Express – 33.12 cr, Ek Tha Tiger – 32.93 cr, Singham Returns – 32.09 cr, Kick – 26.40 cr.
awesom..must watch movie
Some sources have given 30 crores plus for early estimate. . People are trying their best to downgrade Bang Bang.
As I have estimated: 27 Crores Opening Day…Go and Check Bang Bang Prediction Page..Babaji failed this time..
@Indicine, if the exact collections are around 27 crores, will I win tickets???
I m very excited to watching this film today,,just gonna ready to go theatre,,,
The future looking very bleak for BANG BANG….Negative Wom, Negative ratings, Festive season, Pre diwali season, Haider all will make very tough going for BANG BANG.
145cr max.
HAIDER in 1250 – 1500 screens will earn 5-8 crs….Excellent
Disappointed.. Not because of the collections but the way the critics are pulling it down to support haider.. The movie was no less than kick or dhoom3 in terms of entertainment..
Those asking about the winner of the contest, let’s wait for the final collections.
The first day collections are excellent despite the clash with haider and with small number screen comapred to kick and singham…Today it will collect another 27 crores for sure…
I predicted 26.32 cr….I hope I will win :)
so yes now it is going to below than 150cr so next time don,t compare anyone with khans.
I predicted 28 cr Indicine so I should win… As your prediction suggest bang bang has negative wom… So final collection will be 150 cr max… Haider has collected 7-8 cr on 1200 screens
Maybe salman, aamir n SRK fight to be on top but one thing is clear no one can challenge the 3 khans altogether
Haters are everywhere. Why all the positive comments are getting so many dislikes? Insecure mcs.
Its not a final collection.1st day collection of k3 in early estimate in indicine was very low compared to what it collected actually.lets wait for final collection.till then watch and enjoy bang bang.
20% lower thn Kick. WTF is that. When officials/Fox star themselves aanounced that Bang Bang is realeasing record no. Of screens in Worldwide 5100+ n in india alone 4200. You defend Bang Bang By giving reasons of less screens.But you never said Kick was Non-Holiday n PreEid release. Feeling sad for u. Dont worry. Get well Soon.
@Nipun, cry baby cry hard!! What Goes Around Comes Around! You Have to Reap What You Have Sown!
Nobody is trying to pull down Bang Bang Baby! Everyone is giving his/her honest feeling after watching the film. And you have not watched the film yet. Such a fake crying fan!!!
dont watch bang bang ..its story less brain less movie ..dnt know why HR does this kind of crap movie.
I estimated 26.3 cr. for the opening day .. lets see what are the actuals.
but as I said before .. Bang Bang will crash soon in the coming days as the WOM is negative or average to least.
Haider will take an opening of about 10 cr. and will ride high on Positive WOM.
hope movie touch magical no 30 cr
my 4 day prediction up to Sunday
1st day – 30
2nd day – 23
3rd day – 20
4th day – 22
total – 95 cr
but 90+ cr for sure.
go and watch movie everyone just for hrithik hardwork.
he deserve hit.
Lesser number of shows than kick and singham returns.
Lowest screen count for a big release (3600 screens)
Clash with a critically appreciated movie.
Yet, Bang Bang has done estimated 27-29 crores. This is a HUGE achievement.
Those who dont realize all the above are either passionate hrithik haters or too blind to see facts.
watched it yesterday one of the crappiest movie no story,no funny comedy,so much overacting only action was good but not like hollywood as it was not looking real so my rating 2/5
Lol someone still in the hangover of K3….They are expecting 35 crs collection this time instead of 27-29 crs early estimates.
People are spreading negativity intentionaly. ….kick n d3 also same kind crap movie….but people accepted that….so whats problem with bang bang

BangBang: 2.5/5
Shubhra Gupta:

holiday:1.5/5
SR: 1.5/5
BangBang: 1.5/5
it’s critics rating is same as the 3,i have mentioned. But comparision with haider’s content, must have reduced the rating unnecessarily.
People are spreading negativity intentionaly. ….kick n d3 also same kind crap movie….but people accepted that….so whats problem with bang bang…….
