London Dreams Box office updates

All London Dreams Box office updates will be published here.

A few multiplexes in Bangalore : Started slow, morning shows were poor (20%).. but has picked up for the afternoon shows (40 – 50%). The word of mouth is good.

Mumbai : In Mumbai too the start was slow (30%) afternoon shows were better. But lower than expected for a big budget film starring Salman Khan.

4:00 PM IST update – Single screens are poor, business has picked up after a slow start this morning. Advance booking for evening shows are good. Critic reviews and audience reactions are pretty positive.

7:15 PM IST update – Business has doubled for the evening and night shows. Few screens at select multiplexes in Bangalore, Delhi and Mumbai are sold out (shows are 9PM). For those curious, Aladin looks almost certain to be a disaster, unless it picks up on Saturday and Sunday.

11:00 PM IST update – Day 1 at multiplexes was mixed for London Dreams. Collections improved drastically during the later half of the day at multiplexes. Not doing too well on single screens. More updates tomorrow, stay tuned.

*********************************

Saturday updates

Bangalore – Good business at multiplexes throughout the day, especially INOX and PVR Cinemas. Single screens aren’t too great in Bangalore.

Mangalore (Karnataka) – Fantastic collections at Big Cinemas (Bharat Mall). When we contacted the Manager of the multiplex he said “London Dreams is doing well, family audiences are loving it, collections should improve further on Sunday. Aladin opened very poorly, around 10% occupancy for the Morning show on Saturday. Its targeted at the kids and Sunday being a holiday, we expect a better response.”

Mumbai – Much like Bangalore, Business has picked up after a slow start on Friday. Sunday is expected to be even better.

Overall, all India business for the first 2 days should be around Rs 100 million (10 crores – nett gross).

*********************************

Sunday updates – Appreciation from the youth and family audience alike has resulted in excellent collections on Sunday all over. Doubled the collections of Saturday, which is a good sign. The weekend business is around 15 – 17 crores.

*********************************

Monday – The India Australia cricket match has affected collections. Overall Week 1 collections are expected to be somewhere between 24 – 28 crores, which is good. Much like Blue, second week is crucial for London Dreams. But unlike Blue which had no competition in its second week, two biggies release this Friday – Jail and Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani. While Jail wouldn’t prove to be much of a competition, Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif’s APKGK would be the first choice next week. Will London Dreams show life this weekend or end up being an average grosser, remains to be seen.

Tuesday – Bad news! The collections have dropped after recording decent collections on Monday. The drop was expected (since Monday was a holiday) but with 2 big releases coming up, the show-count would reduce drastically at multiplexes for London Dreams. A HIT seems highly unlikely now. Open second week would have been ideal. Lifetime nett gross should struggle to touch 40 crores in India.

*********************************

Updates: London Dreams crashed further on Wednesday and Thursday. The first day of Week 2 (Friday) saw a drop of more than 75% compared to its first Friday. Lifetime nett gross should be under 31 – 32 crores which would be way below expectations. Below average / Flop likely. Very disappointing.

  • First weekend – 15 crores
  • Week 1 – 23 crores
  • Week 2 – 7 crores

Total in 2 Weeks – 30 crores

Box office Verdict – FLOP

    • thankx Saju Dey and Abhinav. dat guy’s intelligence is reflected by his looks. he’z stupid and ugly.
      man say dat da film has some flaws but to call it foolish is crazy, really infuriates me.
      BUT forget dat da film iz rockin and its gonna rock no doubt.
      Also @ Khan u r rite SIK was just superhit.
      i absolutely loved SRK in KKHH. he full deserved all da credit but Salman’s role was also important and it waz more dan a special appearnce, bit like NO ENTERY. important to da film.
      U SEE FILMS LIKE HELLO, SAWAAN, MAMK ETC HEZ ONLY IN DA FILM FOR BOUT 10 MINS, 4-5 SCENES DAT IZ WAT U CALL A SPECIAL APPEARANCE. IF DA FILM SUCCEEDS DA CREDIT GO TO DA CAST NOT SALMAN. AND IF DA FILM FAILS DEN ITS NOT HIZ FAULT. SO EITHER WAY HE DOESNT LOSE.
      BUT IT WAZ UPSETTIN COZ MAMK WAS BEING PORTRAYED AS HIZ FILM AND IT CLEARLY WASNT. I CLICKED ON AFTER HALF AN HOUR.

      ANYWAYZ ILL SHUT UP AND HOPE DAT LD CONTINUES TO ROCK.

      By Taran Adarsh, November 2, 2009 – 11:24 IST

      My Name Is Khan
      Click above for movie stills
      It’s official! Fox STAR Studios, 20th Century Fox International and Fox Searchlight Pictures have announced that MY NAME IS KHAN, the highly anticipated film from director Karan Johar and starring Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, will open in theaters in India and over 40 countries including the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and the Middle East on Valentine’s Day weekend [February 12, 2010].

      In MY NAME IS KHAN, Shah Rukh Khan stars as Rizvan Khan, an unconventional hero who embarks on an incredible journey across America in order to win back the love of his life. Along the way his unique brand of goodness and humanity touches the lives of many and inspires a nation

    • guyz lets not talk bad bout MNIK. we aint even seen da promo yet or anything so don’t be slagging da film or da cast off.
      but dis thread is for LD so lets stay on da topic plz coz MNIK iz 3 and half months away.

    • @Naveed, Priyanka, Saju, Asim, Sana, Sameer and all dear Salman fans…aao sab mil k Rajeev Masand ki watttttttttttttttt lagaa de…………………………, I’m afraid frns abt LD box office result..nobody is posting dat..heard it’s doin very well@ BO but don’t noe da exact figure, I wish LD to become another blockbuster of Salman..

    • Imitiaz, you need to learn to read properly, i didn’t say Maine Pyar Kiya, I said the 2005 release Maine Pyar Kiyu Kiya was above average at the Box Office, sallu fans think it was a hit lol.

    • @Farhad- Dn’t puke shit here..Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya is a clean hit…U temme wh’s ur fvr8 star..I’ll tell his average films now…

    • abhinav, maine pyar kiyu kiya according BO trade reports, taran adarsh says it above average, BOI says its a semihit, so where is the clean hit tag????

    • Wow !! BOI just posted that LD touched 15crores over its first weekend and
      Aladin just mere 3.5 crores
      Here is what they said

      London Dreams collected a decent 15 crore nett approx over its first weekend. The approx breakdowns were 4.25 crore on Friday, 3.75 crore on Saturday and a very good 7 crore on Sunday.
      The collections showed a slight dip on Saturday as there was a big cricket match going on. The collections should be good on Monday as it is a holiday but there is also opposition from another big cricket match which will make collections lower than they normally would be on a holiday.

      London Dreams will probably do around 25-30 crore nett business over its first week depending on how strong the holiday Monday is and how collections fare afterwards.

      The other release of the week Aladin is a huge disaster with around 3.50 crore nett collections over first weekend. The first week should finish in the 5-6 crore nett range

      —From BOI

    • naveed:
      i m not talking abt my nameis khan i read it so i posted just for aknowledge .
      and we know that this page is for LD n sallu , akki comparison.
      but dont forget that salman suggest akki for aja’s role to vipul . and vipul talked with akki that would u do this movie then akki said i will go for action reply . so akki was first choice for ajay’s role. it means action replay is better then LD coz akki left it.

    • farhad..it’s ma fault..i agree..bt still u shd c a phycriatist..instead of salman u r a akki’s fan..OMG..It’s shows dat u r a sick ..narrow minded..uncultured..a man wid dirty minded..1st be a salman’s fan..

    • London Dreams as expected opens to slow response on Friday morning shows with 30 – 40% occupancy rate, Loaded with fare reports and great appreciation from youth, movie picked up on evening shows with 60%+ collections, Overall Friday was fair with 4.5 crore Nett, Saturday saw steady collections from opening shows but jump was not dramatic and Saw a dip at evening shows, Saturday collections settles at 4.25 crore approx., Sunday saw best collections in line with First Sunday figure of BLUE (6.5 Crore). Overall London Dreams Weekend Nett is approx. 15.25 Crore. Monday being a holiday at north India should be steady with minimal drop (As movie is triggered by youth and School/colleges are off on Monday on eve of Guru Nanak Dev Birthday). So far collections are good but not great, Require some rock steady days to reach safety zone – bollybusiness.

      Finger crossed.

    • FARHAD- These stats r especially 4 u man….

      SALMAN HITS-32 OUT OF 66
      SRK HITS- 28 OUT OF 56
      AAMIR HITS- 21 OUT OF 38
      AKKI HITS- 26 OUT OF 85

      HAV A LUK AT THESE….ABOVE AVERAGE movies r considered to be success… & KI was also considered as success & recent movie ALL D BEST is also an ABOVE AVERAGE… & if not then AKSHAY has 4 flops in a row in 2009 include… KI,CCTC,8×10, BLUE…

    • KHAN- U R WRONG MAN-

      NO ENTRY- BLOCKBUSTER(BIGGEST HIT OF 2005, CHK out at the net man)

      salman blockbuster-4( partner, karan arjun, wanted, & no entry)

    • London Dreams breaks first week collection records. London Dreams collected a decent 15 crore nett approx over its first weekend. The approx breakdowns were 4.25 crore on Friday, 3.75 crore on Saturday and a very good 7 crore on Sunday. On Monday due to holiday film may add 8 crore & set new record with a huge 23 crore over its first weekend.

    • London Dreams: 15 Crores Nett Business Over First Weekend. It is going to be 27-30 Crores nett. Business at the end of the first week as predicted. It will have to sustain for one more week to get the Clean Hit Status which is looking more likely as the movie is picking up with the positive word of mouth. These Cricket matches are surely affecting the Collections but I think The movie has the potential to cover up.

      Indicine Team: Kaminey was an average movie as far as the box office collections are concerned so I really don’t think that Shahid is a strong contender for the award this year. It should be Salman, Saif or John Abraham so far. Still Hrithik and Aamir to come so where is Shahid in the list. I really don’t think so.

    • can anybody plz tell me wat z da total collection so far 4 LD ? y sunday updates r not shown by indicine ? is it going 2 be a superhit ?
