Box Office Performance: Gadar 2 and OMG 2’s Initial Run
Gadar 2 is continuing its strong performance, with cinemas running houseful during the day, and even late-night shows now commencing and also running completely houseful. The film’s box office collections have reached unexpected levels. Simultaneously, Akshay Kumar’s OMG 2 has also seen a significant jump in its collections. While it had a decent opening on its first day, positive reviews led to remarkable increases in collections on the second and third days, positioning the film to be a box office superhit. This week has proven excellent for Bollywood, with Gadar 2 achieving record-breaking earnings and OMG 2 showing impressive collection figures.
OMG 2 Day-wise Box Office Collection
OMG 2 surprised many, especially since it was released against a major film like Gadar 2 and received fewer screens. Despite this, the film secured a decent opening at the box office on its first day. Following good reviews, its collections surged on the second day, and on the third day, the film exceeded expectations. On its third day, OMG 2 garnered an 80 to 90 percent opening across cinemas, indicating strong collections.
The film’s day-wise India net collections are as follows:
- Day 1: ₹10 crore 26 lakh
- Day 2: ₹15 crore 50 lakh
- Day 3 (reported): Approximately ₹20 crore
On its third day, the morning shows alone achieved about 60-65% occupancy, which is double that of the first day. Bookings for afternoon and evening shows in most multiplexes were houseful.
OMG 2 Total Worldwide Box Office Earnings
The initial three days’ All India Net collection for OMG 2 stands at ₹45 21 crore 66 lakh. The All India Gross collection, including taxes, is approximately ₹56 crore. In the overseas market, despite being released on only 700 screens, the film has earned a remarkable ₹9 crore. This brings OMG 2’s initial three-day worldwide gross collection to ₹65 crore. The film is anticipated to easily surpass the ₹100 crore mark in the worldwide market by August 15th, officially marking it as a box office hit.
Gadar 2 Day-wise Box Office Collection
Gadar 2 has created a significant impact, with its shows running continuously for 24 hours in Mumbai cinemas, including late-night screenings at 3 AM and 4 AM which are completely houseful. The film, an action-packed release directed by Anil Sharma and starring Sunny Deol, Ameesha Patel, and Utkarsh Sharma, was released on a total of 4000 screens worldwide (3000 in India and 1000 overseas).
Despite releasing on a normal day and clashing with OMG 2, Gadar 2 made a significant mark:
- Day 1 India Net: ₹40 crore 10 lakh, setting a record as the biggest opening for a film released amidst a clash, as no other clash film had previously earned more than ₹30 crore on its first day.
- Day 2 India Net: ₹45 crore, showing a further increase of ₹5 crore from its first day collection.
- Day 3 (reported): Approximately ₹50 crore, earning more than both its first and second days.
All shows across the country, including morning, afternoon, night, and late-night shows, were running completely houseful on the third day.
Gadar 2 Total Worldwide Box Office Earnings
Within its initial three days, Gadar 2 has accumulated an All India Net collection of over ₹135 crore. The film’s India Gross collection reached ₹161 crore. Its estimated overseas collection stands at approximately ₹15 crore. Consequently, Gadar 2’s initial three-day worldwide collection is ₹176 crore. The film is expected to cross the ₹200 crore mark tomorrow and surpass the ₹250 crore worldwide milestone by August 15th. It is projected to earn over ₹300 crore worldwide within its first week.
