Raees Thursday (Day 2) Box Office Collection Update

Shah Rukh Khan reigned supreme at the box office on Wednesday, proving once again that he is one of the biggest crowd-pullers the industry has ever seen. The competition was pretty much decimated right from the morning shows on Wednesday, with Raees selling more than double the number of tickets as compared to Kaabil.

The film has collected Rs 20.43 crore on Wednesday, becoming the first film of 2017 to cross the 20 crore mark on a single day. It has also become the highest grosser of the year in just one day, even though only ‘Ok Jaanu’ has released so far this year.

A 20 crore plus total is a solid base for Raees to grow on Thursday (holiday for Republic Day). As per estimates from the morning shows today, the business of Raees has shown growth of around 15-20% compared to the morning shows yesterday – which is excellent because the film was already running at very high levels on Wednesday morning. But what remains to be seen is what kind of impact the cricket match has on business in the evening.

Muslim-dominated areas have performed phenomenally well for Raees, with the business comparable to Post-Eid releases at places. Shah Rukh Khan is the king of the West Bengal circuit, so it came as no surprise when business was in a different league altogether for Raees. South was extraordinary too, the gap between the two films was expected to be closer here, but Raees was leading by a fairly huge margin (1.96 times average) throughout the day.

The first day business is at around the same level as SRK’s 2015 Christmas release ‘Dilwale’, so we will be closely following the trend of the two films to see if Raees can surpass the lifetime business of the Rohit Shetty directed film.

  • dangal’s collection on Christmas with 4200 screens = 42cr
    therefore
    raees should be on republic day with 3000
    screens = 30cr

    but today’s will be only 25 – 26cr
    it means raees failed to beat dangal’s record.

I’ve struggled with insomnia looking for years, and after trying CBD like in the course of the from the word go once upon a time, I for ever experienced a busty evening of relaxing sleep.
