When even star-driven films are struggling, one can well imagine how it must be for a film like Ishq Vishk Rebound, which has new faces.
Ideally, a double digit opening would have set the film well. But the opening wasn't anywhere close to expectations.
One waits to see where Munjya land though rest assured, a lifetime score of over Rs 50 crores is guaranteed from this point on.
For Rajkummar Rao, this is turning out to be a winning season as he has scored another winner in quick time after Srikanth.
Manoj Bajpayee's 100th film earned Rs 6 million in its first weekend.
May brought some respite with Rajkummar Rao-starrer Srikanth emerging as a surprise success.
Two films arrived at theatres -- Bollywood's Srikanth and Hollywood's Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes -- and have managed to attract footfalls in theatres.
While things remain bleak for Bollywood at the box office, Hollywood's Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire has brought quick relief to exhibitors and distributors.
This is turning out to be a real low season for movies, where nothing seems to be working at the box office, be it action, drama or romance. The presence of stars don't seem to matter either.
It was a dull weekend at the box office.
With no major notable release coming up, and if the word-of-mouth comes into action, one may expect a miracle.
After being in theatres for 10 days, Crew and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire have similar box office collections.
If it continues this way, Crew could well take a shot at the Rs 100 Crore Club.
Neither films were rejected by the audience, something that has happened with so many recent, mid-budget films.
The next big releases -- Bade Miyan Chote Miyan and Maidaan -- will arrive during Eid, which leaves a lot of time for Shaitaan to earn lifetime collections in the range of Rs 140-150 crore (Rs 1.4-1.5 billion).
Shaitaan has taken a superb opening and by the look of things, it will earn Rs 100 crore (Rs 1 billion) comfortably.
The film had a very good first week at the box office with Rs 38.82 crore (Rs 388.2 million) coming in, qualifying it as a hit straight away.
With the first week total set to cross Rs 40 crores, this Yami Gautam-Priyamani starrer is already a good success at the box office.
After taking an expected start, it grew over the first weekend and consolidated well during the weekdays.
It might have taken time but Fighter has entered the Rs 200 Crore Club (Rs 2 billion).
