Happy New Year Saturday Box Office Update

UPDATE 1AM on Saturday: Happy New Year has collected around 36 crore including all versions on Saturday.

Happy New Year is on a historic run at the box office, as the morning shows on Saturday are only about 10-20% lower compared to yesterday at most multiplex centres that we have been tracking. Noon shows have picked up, most shows are running to capacity and the gap between Friday and Saturday business should narrow towards the end of the day.

For most films that do well at multiplexes, collections tend to peak on Saturday night, and this should be the case with Happy New Year too. The Shahrukh Khan film could record its second straight 40 crore day, but for that business has to pick up in the evening.

Happy New Year is rock-steady at single-screens too, which suggests that the word-of-mouth even with the masses is pretty good. Most films that aren’t carrying appreciation, begin to show drops at single-screens as early as Friday evening, that hasn’t been the case with Happy New Year. The film opened very well on Friday and remained steady throughout the day. Saturday too has opened on a very positive note.

Some updates from various cities across India

  • Pune: Multiplexes are steady with average occupancy of around 75-80% so far today. Advance booking is very good here, so occupancy could touch 100% for the night shows.
  • Kolkata: Huge! At some plexes the occupancy is comparable to Saturday, even though today is a working day.
  • Bangalore: Normal Saturday morning drop here, picked up in the noon. Night expected to be packed to capacity, as advance is very good.
  • Mumbai: Plenty of shows here, so the average occupancy including single-screens seems to be hovering around 50-60% today. Will pick up.
  • Mangalore: Yesterday morning the occupancy on 3 screens was a little lower than big films like Dhoom 3, but night shows were houseful. Today, the opening shows were better than yesterday!

  • you dnt know acting never mind.
    u dnt know dancing never mind.
    u dnt know about action never mind.
    u need manipulation king srk then his blind fans who always watch srk movies with their badshaah’s goggle can manipulate every number. but salman makes movies not for records but for each and every human being. 30 rs. ticket buyers cant help too much in making records but making movies for them is such a legendary work what dharmendra and salman did for mango peoples.

  • oh no, after see the collection of hany,our bhaijan get shocked,now he admit in hospital…..plzz pray for him….because we love bhaijan….every animal love our bhaijan

  • watched hny today. completely hillarious………awesome…….some scenes like abhishek bacchan stripping, narration of how the theft will be carried out was just fantastic. my whole family loved it. will soon be going again with freinds.
    inspite of so much negativity spreaded by some section of media and srk haters…the movie will rock due to the power of strong wom.
    the movie promised entertainment and that is what it delievers….the movie had the scope of being complicated but as charlie’s dad used to say keep it simple and farah khan has done exactly that and this works.

  • oh no,after see the coolection of hny,our bhaijan get shocked, now he admit in hospital…plz pray for him..bcoz we love our bhaijan….every animal love our bhaijan

  • @Shaggy Please predict na second day collection
    I think it will crash by 90% so today’s collection will be 4-5 cr right shaggy?

  • oh no, hny cross jaiho + kick first day collection…its biggest shamefull for us,we hope our bhaijan next film we do more the 90 crore and creat history becoz we love our bhaijan….

  • @Saggy We have marked your every word
    Like first day will be 33 cr
    lifetime will 180 cr
    Hny is going to flop
    I think you are biggest fan of KRK :D

  • Looking at its pace, i think its gonna hit the double century within a week itself.. Hny goes riot all over.. Waiting for overseas numbers now..

  • @saggy
    But bro I had marked ur words that HNY will not cross 200 crores and it will be a flop and now u r saying that it will not touch 300 crores.

    nandu aka abhishek is helping shahrukh khan… den ur pk wil rely on the shoulders of anushka raju hirani sanjay dutt sushant singh.. n most importantly raju hirani widout whom aamir couldn’t deliever a blockbuster. ..lolaxx

  • If everything goes well, today will also a 40+ cr. day for happy new year. Sunday will be 100% 40+ cr. so 120+ in 3 days. Which is unimaginable feat.

  • @shaggy: Please stop contradicting your statement first! First you said, 33 crores opening, lifetime not more than 180 crores, flop flop flop.. Then again saying it was coz of Jr. Ab and DP? now you saying wont cross 300! Abe Bhang khake baitha hai kya? Kuch bhi bol rha h!!! Jaake kahin aur comment kar!! Lallu tingu k page me. Soja jake pehle..

  • Shaggy: Sorry to say dear… but u have totally lost it… I suggest u to consult a good doctor in nearby locality…

  • Sonu Sood (In Film) – Wah Kya Original Speech hai.
    Public (Outside theatre) – Wah Kya Original Film hai…

    Host at WDC India after Charlie’s angels were selected for WDC – India what have You Done…
    Public after 1st day Collections – India what have you done…

    Deepika – “Easy lagta hai kya mohini ka dance? Duniya me do ich log kar sakte hain. Ek JLo ani ek Shakira..
    Public – “Easy lagta hai kya Ghatiya film banana.. Duniya me do ich log kar sakte hain. Ek Sajid khan ani ek Shirish Kunder..

  • Just for SRK fans,

    SRK needs, leading lady in the industry, few supporting actors who are established in the industry to reach 40 crores.
    Salman needs only himself to reach 30 crores and gives chance to new actors to work with and helps people to come up in life.
    If SRK gets a film for himself he will not even reach 25 crores single day collection, which is already proven. He cannot be a good host, his skin looks like 90 year old women.

    If Salman is 100% SRK is 10%. Mark my words whole world will know this down the line 2 years.

    Salman always remains the best.

  • Deepika — “Easy lagta hai kya mohini ka dance? Duniya me do ich log kar sakte hain. Ek JLo ani ek Shakira..Public — “Easy lagta hai kya Ghatiya film banana.. Duniya me do ich log kar sakte hain. Ek Sajid khan ani ek Farah Khan..

  • After the huge weekends, I expect the film to crash on Monday! Well, this is one opinion like Indicine’s!

    @Indicine, post some another reports as well!
