IPL affects Housefull 2 on Day 1

Housefull 2 lost atleast Rs 2 crore on Day 1 due to competition from cricket and regional releases. The early estimates for the first day business is around 14 crores.

The two IPL matches – Mumbai vs Pune and Rajasthan vs Punjab – has severely affected collections for the evening and night shows on Friday. The first match made a dent into collections in Maharashtra as both the local teams were playing, while the second match which started at 8PM reduced the occupancy in Rajasthan.

Collections in Punjab were also affected due to the release of Mirza – The Untold Story, which has opened to a historic response in the state. Infact, the release of the Punjabi film also had an impact on the overseas business (more on that shortly).

Still, the Day 1 collections are about 5% lesser than Don 2, which was a Holiday (Christmas) release.

Saturday and Sunday will be the key and it remains to be seen, just how big an impact the IPL will have on the weekend numbers. The two matches today are between Bangalore and Delhi, Hyderabad and Chennai – all four teams have a strong following and are important centers for film business too.

Did the makers under-estimate the impact of the IPL? Would they have been better off releasing Housefull 2 a week or two after the initial hype around the cricket league subsided?

  • Shah Rukh Khan has been
    selected to receive The Chubb
    Fellowship, which is among Yale
    University’s highest honours. The
    Bollywood superstar will join the
    likes of former Presidents
    George W. Bush, Ronald Reagan
    and Jimmy Carter when he
    delivers a lecture at Yale
    University as a Chubb Fellow on
    April 12.
    The Chubb Fellowship observed
    that through his films and his
    philanthropy, SRK has been
    among his generation’s most
    important examples of the
    power of art to promote higher
    human ideals and aspirations.
    Chubb Fellows spend their time
    at Yale in close, informal
    contact with students and
    deliver a public lecture. Must
    say this is yet another feather
    in the already illustrious cap of
    King Khan.

  • @srk hritik has more 100 crore movies than salman worldwide hritik is number two and salman is in league of ajay and amir poor salman you can not win from hritik hritik has five hundred crore movies salman has three

  • @all hey ppl no dog fight in the name of Srk n Hritik they are new jay n veeru in town…We love both have peace:)

  • if salman promote his movie for 2 year will it make 100 crore first day record?, salman fans will say yes i know coz salman ki fan hi aise hote hai,,,movies promoted for 6 months or 2 months does not make much differece

  • salman has dabbang ready and bodyguard only as 100 crore movies hritik has five hritik rocks salman flop srk is king he has 11 movies to cross 100 crore movies

  • @himali no but seriously hritik will win it from lallu any day any time he has five hundred crore grossing movies he rocks

  • ask salman khan to do atleast 1 good film, he always depends on remakes and item numbers,salman is not a actor he is more like a model who showcase body and focus on song more than script, now for ek that tiger he must be saying aditya chopra to include hit songs nahi toh mera imaage ka falooda banega log janta nahi ki mera film item songs se chalta hai

  • Don 2 is Best than Housefull 2.
    Reasons are,
    1.Don 2 released in non-holiday & housefull 2 is released in Holiday.
    2.Don 2 promotion was not well & HF 2 promotion was good.
    3.Don 2 Song was not good & HF2 songs is Good.
    4.Don 2 is included Whole ONE MAN ARMY that is SRK.
    Housefull 2 included whole many big multi stars.

    So Don 2 is best because Bollywood King Shahrukh Khan.

    No compare to Don 2.

  • the gross of don2 is 210 crores in hindi version and 65 crores in english version its second highest after three idiots and is bigger than ra 1 249 crores and body guard 230 crores don2 is not comparable to house full 2 hf2 can not gross higher than don2 world wide

  • Akki tera time guzr gia ab Sulman ka numbr hai KING k saat comptition chal rha hai jb too ne 2 chaar hit dien to teray fanz b isi trha uchal kood mcha rhay thay jesay aaj salu k fanz mcha rhay hain
    Pta ni salu k baad KING k saamnay kis latay hain

  • and also guyz you are forgetting that srk is the only actor who have three back to back movies which crossed 200cr not 100cr!!!!!

    These movies are:
    1) MNIK
