Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif starrer "Tiger 3" managed to clinch an impressive ₹232 crore nett at the box office. However, the film faced pockets of decline, particularly in areas like UP and Bihar, owing to regional holidays affecting collections.
With an eye on the crucial second week, the movie stands without direct competition until the third week when "Animal" hits the screens. Analysts are eyeing the film's performance on the second Friday, which is expected to determine its eventual lifetime business.
Despite obstacles like coinciding cricket matches and an unconventional release period, the film's success heavily hinges on positive public reception. Mixed reviews impacted its momentum after a noticeable drop in collections on Wednesday, leaving recovery efforts uncertain.
Considering the lacking public appreciation, the film remains on track to achieve 'HIT' status if it sustains decent business in the second week. Concerns linger over performance in mass circuits, where other regional releases are outshining not just "Tiger 3" but the industry as a whole.
The collections breakdown for "Tiger 3" till date is as follows:
Week One Total: ₹209.25 crore
- Sunday: ₹42.25 crore
- Monday: ₹57.00 crore
- Tuesday: ₹42.50 crore
- Wednesday: ₹19.75 crore
- Thursday: ₹16.75 crore
- Friday: ₹13.00 crore
- Saturday: ₹18.00 crore
Extended Week (Days 8-12):₹22.75 crore
- Sunday: ₹9.75 crore
- Monday: ₹7.00 crore
- Tuesday: ₹6.00 crore
Despite challenges, "Tiger 3" continues its impressive run, aiming to cement its position despite the absence of expected widespread public acclaim. The industry will be closely observing its performance in the upcoming weeks to gauge its long-term success amidst evolving market dynamics.
