Maidaan Box Office: 3-Day Worldwide Collections and Performance
Maidaan, the sport drama film, has completed three days in cinemas. The film’s three-day collections have been described as entirely shocking and disappointing, not earning as much as it deserved despite being a good film released on a big festival. The film’s first-day India net collection, including paid preview shows, was ₹2 crore 25 lakh, which was considerably less than expected. On the second day, the film showed a significant drop, with India net collections at just ₹2 crore 37 lakh. On its third day, Saturday, Maidaan is reportedly doing an all-India net collection of approximately ₹4 crore 80 lakh, showing a slight growth in occupancy, though not matching the first day’s occupancy. Overall, Maidaan’s initial three-day India net collection stands at ₹15 crore 42 lakh. Its India gross collection for three days is ₹18 crore 34 lakh, and the worldwide collection totals ₹25 crore 34 lakh.
Maidaan Pre-Release Recovery and Budget Details
The total budget for Maidaan is ₹150 crore. However, before its release, the film’s makers had already recovered over ₹100 crore. The digital rights for Maidaan were sold for ₹65 crore, its satellite rights for ₹37 crore, and its music rights for ₹16 crore. This pre-release recovery from digital, satellite, and music rights amounted to ₹118 crore. To achieve a box office hit status, the film is expected to earn significantly more given its budget.
