Wanted vs Veer : Box office update

The first indication that Veer may not go the Wanted way, was when the collections first dipped on Saturday and later dropped quite significantly on Monday. Republic day (Tuesday) business helped the film get close to the first week numbers of Wanted, but the huge crash on Friday (Week 2) and further drops on Saturday and Sunday has meant that the film is highly unlikely to attain HIT status.

The fact that the distributors share is high from single screens has ensured the “moderate success” tag for the film, but business overall has been well below expectations.

Here is a comparison between Wanted and Veer 

DayWantedVeer
Friday5.5 crores7 crores
Saturday 6.5 crores6 crores
Sunday6.5 crores7.5 crores
Weekend Total18.5 crores20.5 crores
Monday7.25 crores (Holiday)3 crores
Tuesday5.5 crores (Holiday in some parts)6.5 crores (Holiday)
Wednesday2.5 crores2 crores
Thursday 2.25 crores1.50 crores
Week 1 Total36 crores33.50 crores
Friday2.25 crores1.5 crores
Saturday2.50 crores1.75 crores
Sunday3.75 crores2 crores
Monday3 crores (Holiday)1 crore
11 day Total47.5 crores39.75 crores

The table above gives a pretty clear indication as to how both movies have trended, while Wanted opened slow and remained steady, Veer opened better but crashed quickly.

Few other points to be noted

  • The multiplex business of Veer is lower than Wanted.
  • The costs of Veer is much higher, hence the film needs much more for hit status.
  • The lifetime nett of Veer is likely to fold up under 45 crores, with a distributors share of around 25 – 26 crores.

Most likely verdict : Average

  • @Megha to such mein kutia hai u just proved by ur action.tujhe chain nahe koe keera hai tere andar elaj krva ya mein kr do

  • meha
    stop yar,plz veerhas flop and hina, shankar get irritate. so plz ab onko maaf kardo!! bechare veer ko 50 rs daan kardo sayad flop hone se bach jaye!!!!

  • arre yaar sach blne mein kahe ka dar main naheen darti kisi se…. i speak only the truth and from the heart .. that is my opinion and it is irrespective of the star in it ..if the movie is bad it will not get any mercy from me .. whoever may star in it wait for MNIK ..if it is bad i will not spare that aLSO.. so people who i think im any star hater or lover just chill… i have no favorites ..only movie is dear to me over which i spend money and it better b good.. im not goig to b chased away by few loafer types here

  • dear adii there is no srk /sallu/akki/aamir etc for me.. if the film is bad i will rip it to pieces ..as i did with paa and de dana dan….the music of mnis khan is not good sajda looks like a copy of shukranallah to me ..so the weak point is music itself to begin with ..thwerea are no hummable songs in the movie and if kajol is gonna ham and do those screams i will really rip it down

  • hina BOI also says Tashan was below average does make a success??? mind u tashan flopped as it didn’t release in multiplex for revenue share problem which lost a big 12 to 13 crore net chunk.

  • @Megha gashtia really nahe darte mujhe pata hai paisa jb kam da to pagal ho jate hai tere dhanda kaisa chal raha hai

  • @Shankar behave.

    @Megha i m sallu fan but also like Akki,Amir,Hrithik from 1st day i told u that veer will be average movie because indian people dont like such movies .Now we should leave comments for veer and u should do comments on MNIK

  • @farhad ..If you are dat much in love with Akki just w8 4 his movies to get released .Really u dun make sense to me.I have clearly written in my comment dat it is Veer (Hindi) Version dat got below average tag plz get ur eyes checked 4m the doctor.BOI has already mentioned Veer has DS of 23.5 carores in 2 weeks when including Telgu Version.N by the end of third week DS will be 25 to 26 carores which makes it average or above average.Now use ur brain.I know what sort of person u r coz u started bashing Veer without watching it.N later after so many days u watched n then again made same old comments.Grow up n drink Thumbs up like Akki :)

  • @Hina i use to read comments here some people without know how just mention in such confident way people think they have authenticated news.Veer flops just fedup to read comments of three or four person everyone know veer declared average movie.Dont know what they will get to prove this veer has flopped.

    @Hina is it true Kajol playing negative role in MNIK.

  • notable trades. komal nahata declares veer flop, taran adarsh declares veer as flop, BOI declares veer blow average and ihe coming months they 2 will change it to flop. i also find it hard to believe the share being 23 since it has earned 35 cr net in those 2 weeks

  • @Farhad most of people dont know the method no one declared it flop taran said its average movie i tell u

    BOXOFFICE INDIA below average 35,4300000 excluded tamil (4 crores 39.43 crore total india 2weeks)

    14 crore overseas 2 weeks (excluded UAE+Pak)

    UAE+PAK=4crore

    Total collection :- 57.43 crore all
    But movie decide on hindi version and distributor shares which approx 23 crore so verdict below average
    But if at end will complete then average or above average

  • Adiii,

    I do not agree with you. Every big star has fan following including salman so he is far from finished.
    Besides, you are srk fan that’s why you perhaps hate salman otherwise you would have noticed some nice things said about salman in this article.
    I am not a fan of any star, i like or dislike films not stars. I like srk in bazigar, darr, khkn, yes boss but do not like him in oso, rnbdj, billu. Similarily, i like salman in mpk, karan arjun, jeet and to some extent in wanted also but not in mamk, hahk (surprisingly), yuvraj.
    Veer I have not seen as it does not look appealing to me but i accept the fact that it was not a flop. It got good opening and a final average tag.
    I my opion, we may or may not like a star but we have to respect the verdict.
    From the promos, mnik does not appeal to me, but i can sense that film will take very good opening.

  • Rajesh
    okz
    mnik is nice film and everyone who saw the mnik like the film. and see veer also.plz i req you. if you r cinema lover then you will hv to see mnik once in a life.

  • Salman Khan as never before in “Dabaang”
    Salman Khan’s other brother Arbaaz is turning producer. And he wants to make sure he will present his star-bro Salman like never before.
    Hence while Sohail has been producing all the cool-dude Hello Brother type of slick flicks for Salman, Arbaaz is taking Salman comoletely out of his comfort zone in Arbaaz Khan Productions’ Dabang, which means fearless.
    And fearless is what Arbaaz and Salman intend to be in Dabang.

    The film to be directed by Anurag’s brother Abhinav Kashyap will feature Salman as a boorish uncouth corrupt cop in a Noth Indian town of Bihar or Uttar Pradesh.
    For the first time in his career Salman will be discarding his dude-with-an-attitude persona to play a protagonist who is reprehensibly corrupt in nature uncouth in appearance.This would be Saif’s Omkara with the law on its side.

    Yes Salman did play a smalltown goon in Tere Naam. But never scruffy and unwashed with such vengeance.
    Salman will also have to master a Bihari-UP dialect for the first time.
    According to sources the look will echo Abhishek Bachchan’s North Indian goonda act in Mani Ratnam’s Raavan.

    Arbaaz Khan who is holidaying with wife and son in London says, “The idea is to not just cast Salman because he’s my brother. But to cast him in a role that he has never done before.
    Dabang is a new challenge for me. When Abhinav came to offer me a role in the script I immediately wanted to produce the film. For long I had been toying with the idea of turning producer. This was just the excuse I needed to take the plunge.”

    Arbaaz does have a role in Dabang. But the main part is of course Salman’s.
    Says Arbaaz, “It isn’t as if I’ve deliberately set out to do something different with Salman from what Sohail does. But trust me, this will be a Salman Khan his fans have never seen. No point in turning producer if I can’t cast my superstar-brother in a challenging role.”
    About casting Shatrughan Sinha’s daughter Sonakshi Arbaaz says, “There’s no point in casting a heroine who’s already been seen four times with Salman. I wanted to cast a stunning new girl and Sonakshi fitted the bill. She has lost a lot of weight. She still needs to lose a little more.”

    Here are the exclusive pictures of Salman khan on the sets of his upcoming movie Dabaang. He is playing a police officer in the movie.

  • Filmare Nominations are out, and just as I rightfully predicted: no salman khan for best actor nominee.
    http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/features/2010/02/11/5949/index.html

    I agree, there were far more performances better than Salman’s Wanted. his performance in wanted may have been one of the best of his career, but if you watch the rest of these performances, you can’t help but agree with them for the most part. Although you can argue that Abhay Deol should have been there for Dev D, or Saif for Kurbaan instead of LAK.

    It is time again for hardcore and biased Sallu fans to whine and cry and argue how filmfare is unfair and all this bs.

    My prediction: bachan for paa just barely over aamir for 3i who although i would say give the critics to bachchan and the popular to aamir!! but bachchan might just sweep both like he did with black!

  • ahmed taran declared it a flop, check his verdict, and dont denie it, it had a good 1st week but crashed badly after that and made less than blue. the verdict from trades who know the BO not som journalist is a flop, BOI says its below average which means the shares hasn’t crossed 25 cr, nahata also delcares a flop, so did IBOS, and business of cinema.

  • yeh log ..are afraid to acall stale food stale lest the chef gets annoyed??? how is salman bothered .this is not the first flop he has given ..true on todays time and a big star that he is it should have been a hit .. but the publicity was poor ..songs were bad and ultimately word of mouth was bad ..so it flopped ..funny na ?? hota hai ..why people are worried here beats me ..

  • dabaang hit nahi ho skti ye bhi single screen pic. he,,,,,aur veer jitni famous nahi he ,,aur jab veer hit nahi hui to dabaang kaise???????/

  • hi to all guys,

    1 week= 33 cr nett
    2nd weekend=5.25cr
    2nd week= 7.75 cr
    2 week= 40.75 cr nett

    uae+ pak= 4 cr
    total= 58.75 cr nett (two week)
    plzzzzzzz sm sallu fan say dis to BOI.

  • By taran adarsh. Feb 12, 2010
    The film has fared well in a few circuits only, due to its [first week] business at single screens. However, Eros, the presenters of the film, will incur losses. Flop
    Why taran adarsh keeps on repeating this?????? and look at his words about MNIK “jhooti tareefen”
    I didn’t know it that he could be cheapest like this. Boht ghatya aadmi hai ye
