Ground Zero is a decent watch but word-of-mouth needs to be strong for the weekdays to stay stable as well.
Kesari: Chapter 2 has now collected Rs 30 crore* (Rs 300 million) and it sure looks that the Rs 50 crore (Rs 500 million) mark will be crossed by the end of the first week.
It was a decent extended weekend for Sunny Deol-starrer Jaat as Rs 40 crore* (Rs 400 million) came in.
The first quarter has scored mostly flops, with just one blockbuster (Chhaava) and a smattering of those which have recovered costs.
The film will fold this week itself, as Sunny Deol's Jaat releases on Thursday.
This is underwhelming because the Salman Khan starrer is a biggie, released on the widest count of screens with practically all theatres at its disposal.
After collecting Rs 30.06 crore (Rs 306 million) on Sunday, all eyes were on the kind of numbers Salman Khan-starrer Sikandar would see on Monday.
All eyes are now on how the film grows on Monday, as that would be crucial for the overall run of this big budget entertainer on which the industry has been pining hopes.
This Sunday sees the release of the biggest film of the year so far: Sikandar.
The Diplomat will go on collecting right up to Saturday, since Sikandar arrives on Sunday, and so it may be looking at a lifetime of over Rs 35 crore (Rs 350 million). That will make it a fair success.
Last week's release, John Abraham's The Diplomat, has surprised everyone by attracting fair footfalls.
Chhaava has entered the prestigious Rs 500 Crore (Rs 5 billion) Club and with that, it joins the likes of Pushpa 2, Stree 2, Jawan, Animal, Gadar 2, Pathaan and Baahubali 2 to have achieved this feat.
It collected Rs 13.30 crore (Rs 133 million) on Friday, and zoomed past Rs 20 crore (Rs 200 million) on Saturday and Sunday.
Months after the last big success in the Hindi film industry, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, there is another big one running successfully in theatres.
Ten days after its release, Chhaava continues to dominate theatres.
Chhaava has entered the Rs 100 crore (Rs 1 billion) club in just three days.
Sanam Teri Kasam got the biggest collections ever for a re-release.
Deva saw low collections at the box office over the weekend.
The film will end up having a lifetime in the vicinity of Rs 125 crores but if it can stretch towards the Rs 150 crores mark then that would be a very good result for Sky Force.
While Emergency has managed some sort of traction, Azaad is absolutely dull.
