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

  • @Nauman ..I love all Salman fanz.N Prity is such a great fan of Salman m proud of her.If there is bad thinking in ur mind we pure hearted Salman fanz can’t provide u purity in thinking.Just let ur Akki movie get released n I will pay u back all of ur favours dat u have gifted Sallu fanz on this thread.

    @amish ..Better u support Nauman he can’t win 4m me in arguments :)

    @Naveed ..These guys are shamless.I tried my best to be soft with them but they don’t deserve this.Now they will get Tit 4 Tat 4m my side.

  • i dont understand one thing,salman has got more fans than anybody else in india..still many of them doesnt watch his movie on the big screen,that’s weird..anyway..i am glad that veer is doing good even after gettin bad reviews from everywhere,that’s the power of Salman Khan..i am a true die hard fan but was hugely disappointed by veer..the movie is weird..but still i wanted it to emerge as a success just for Salman..i wish Salman gets his audiences back in multiplexes..and all his movies become hit like Aamir,i loved london dreams,still it flopped..that’s pathetic…let’s hope Dabanng becomes a blockbuster whenever it releases..it’s high time now..salman surely deserves a filmfare..As for veer,it’ll reach a minimum of 50 cr.
    n i must say Hina n Prity,i am impressed with you girls..true salman fans.Keep Rocking !!

  • Veer is Awesome movie.. Story line is too Gud…..I hope 2nd week collections would be gud…
    INSHAALLAH….VeeR will be Supar Hit…

  • Nowadays,INdicine site has change into Chatting site!!!!!Thts something new!!!But Really,Indicine team,Put interesting Article,boring reading same article again n again…..

  • This is from indiainfo.com (See I told u veer is sure flop)

    Salman to give his remuneration from Veer

    Salman Khan is thoroughly disappointed because though the producers of the film Veer are maintaining that the film has done well at Box Office the truth is other way round. Film has not been just rehjected by the multiplex audience but also failed at the single screens, where the filmmakers were hoping some money would be recovered. Salman before the release of the film said he would hold himself responsible if the film fails. Keeping his words Salman has not only taken full responsibility of the failure upon himself in fact waived off Rs 15 crores, the remuneration that he was supposed to take from producer of the movie Vijay Galani. A source said, “Vijay Galani is slated to lose around Rs 25-30 crores, due to this disaster. Salman Khan, who was to be paid Rs 25 crores as the remuneration for the film was given Rs 10 crores as the signing amount. But now Salman has decided on not to take remaining RS. 15 crores. Only Salman can do this… Really Veer step Sallubhai!

  • Veer is Awesome Movie….Salman proved he is da best Actor as like Srk..Srk aready praise to salman acting..I m a big fan of Srk…but i dont hate salman…salman is my 2nd favourite after watching wanted & Veer,,

    AnD U @Nouman….U r Psycho type….stop fucking comments….Aksay is 3rd class actor dont compare Srk & salman..If u like Aksay So speaking honest…& i hope kajra will be Suoar dupar FLOP..ALLready Aksay’s 4 Films r FLOP without kambakt isque.Kambakt isque is hit beCoZ Rambo is here…

  • @ Nauman: Don’t act like you are so innocent. You always say that you are not anti-Salman but you alwayz support Sallu haters & try to pull leg of Sallu fans. Do you think you are so smart or we are so dumb that we don’t understand your “wanna-be-funny” comments???

    And please discuss Veer in a proper way, don’t talk about MNIK or any other movie. If you guys keep doing that, we’ll have to do the same in the articles of your fav stars’ movies when indicine publishes…

    dis weekend wid ur frnds n family n colleages.
    prove tht u r sallu fan,real fan

  • my 100% prediction
    my name is khan = flop in india
    in oversease mnik may b hit.
    teen patti = hit
    kartik = hit/semi hit/above avg/avg acrding to budget.
    MNIK IS VERY BORING MOVIE N PAKAAU
    IN CINEPLEX N MASSES IT WL B DEFINITEY DISASTER

  • Well, expectedly Veer got what it deserved, sorry to any Salman Khan fans who dreamt of “Big blockbuster” and “Top grossing film”.

    Will not comment on My Name Is Khan, except that i think its collections (at least in India) will be hit by the IPL comments made by SRK (which by the ,as a secular and educated Indian, im in full support of SRK, Shiv Sena are the sort of groups that are destroying India) In fact, i dont think My Name is Khan will even release on 12th february.

    @Amit Singhania, where had you read that My name is Khan pre-release reports? I reckon its still a bit early for all of that. I read that MNIK got an excellent repsonse by sheikhs of UAE, it made them cry apparently, this is about the only pre-release indications i have managed to find, where have you read that they are disastrous????? Would like to read to.

  • Hina i salute u for ur comments u r outstanding and i think Afridi Bhai is biggest salman fan 2.
    Sallu fan i m feeling very sad that salman won’t write us till Dabanng.
    Hope he comes soon with bang. We will miss u salman

  • seems salman vai haters still in veer fever just like us.. Even if indicine bring any thread on mnik …i think megha or adii will still be with us…thanx adii nd megha for ur support all this days…

  • @hina seems u became number one hated person among salman haters….!! yeah we knw…. ” most loved is also most hated”….so b proud ….. ;)

  • Nd tv showed a report on how Bollywood fraternity still silent about the controversy regarding srk…..i thought srk got soo many friends in this industry… Many of them r tweeting everyday but there is nothing about there friend srk….they should have acted really quick…..

    i guess srk really missing our salman vai nw….HE is nt coward like most others ….

  • MNIK,
    it is very boring n pakaau movie.
    mnik wl bdefinitely flop in india.
    in oversease it wl b hit.
    in cineplex n masses it wl b disaster.
    i m 100% sure
