There were total 10 films that released today. Eight Bollywood films and two Hollywood releases today. The Bollywood films were A Gentleman, Babumoshai Bandookbaaz, Sniff, Qaidi Band, The Rally, Mr Kabaadi, Muskurahatein and Toh Fir Aao Na. The two Hollywood releases were The Hitman’s Bodyguard and Terminator 2.
All the films have opened poorly at the box office. The first best release of this week was Sidharth Malhotra- Jacqueline Fernandez’ A Gentleman. The film opened to a 10-15% occupancy. Inspite of the film being an action and a good starrer film, it did not perform well. The collections are scary as the costs are quite high. Since Friday, today, is a national holiday, hopefully the film should pick up numbers. There has to be growth in the weekend for the film to survive.
