Box Office: 'Ready' Has Biggest First Friday At The Box Office For Non-Festive Period Release

-

While '3 Idiots' & 'Tees MK' were Christmas releases & 'Dabangg' was an Eid release, 'Ready' should be the BIGGEST Box office openner ever for a non-festive period release. READY 1st Friday box office collections should be about Rs 13.5 crore, which makes it the No. 2 opener of all time, after Salman's own DABANGG.

Salman Khan is competing with himself. His DABANGG set new records last year in its opening weekend and READY is expected to give a tough fight to that film, as far as the week end box office numbers are concerned. The opening day figures have started pouring in and as per initial trends, READY is expected to surpass the first day business of 3 IDIOTS [Rs 13 cr] and TEES MAAR KHAN [Rs 12.75 cr] and gross about 13.5 cr.

First Day First Show Audience Reaction To READY





While READY is much ahead of 3 IDIOTS and TEES MAAR KHAN in several circuits like C.P., C.I. and Rajasthan, it's slightly behind DABANGG in these circuits. What's interesting is that 3 IDIOTS and TEES MAAR KHAN were released during Christmas and DABANGG during Eid, while READY has opened during non-festive period and if the numbers of READY are bigger and better than 3 IDIOTS and TEES MAAR KHAN, it's a super achievement. Ready will be the biggest opener ever for a non-festive period release.

The first actual circuit totals have come in for Ready - CP Berar, CI and Rajasthan have all recorded the second best first day totals ever at the box office, next only to Dabangg.

CI

Ready - 58.54 lakhs
Tees Maar Khan - 49 lakhs
Dabangg - 62 lakhs

Rajasthan

Ready - 78.12 lakhs
Tees Maar Khan - 75 lakhs
Dabangg - 80 lakhs

CP Berar

Ready - 82 lakhs
Tees Maar Khan - 69 lakhs
Dabangg - 89 lakhs

Top 5 opening Fridays:-

1. Dabangg 14.5 cr
2. Ready 13.5 cr (approx)
3. Three Idiots 13 cr
4. Tees Maar Khan 12.75 cr
5. Raajneeti 10.5 cr & Kites 10.5 cr.

Tees Maar Khan Box Office Report/Review/Collections

Box Office Report of Tees Maar Khan: Tees Maar Khan Takes a Huge Opening at the box office but the reports about the film are negative Tees Maar Khan took a great opening at the box office across the country but the reports are not good. The film is a hit on the strength of its opening but whether it becomes a blockbuster is in doubt as collections in the evening at places could not keep up with its bombastic start in the morning. Saturday is a holiday which could help but Sunday will tell where the film is going. Another plus is two weeks of no competition. The other two releases of the week, Toonpur Ka Superrhero and Isi Life Mein had very dull collections and could not register at the box office due to the Tees Maar Khan wave.

Salman Khan Issued Supreme Court Notice On Acquittal In Chinkara Poaching Case Actor Salman Khan was today issued notice by the Supreme Court on an appeal by the Rajasthan government challenging his acquittal in two poaching cases. In July, the Rajasthan High Court found the 50-year-old actor not guilty of killing an endangered species of gazelle or chinkara in two separate incidents in 1998 while he was shooting a film in the desert state. The state government challenged his acquittal; it wants him to be imprisoned to serve the rest of his sentence - after being convicted in 2007 for hunting down and killing the chinkaras, he was awarded a one-year prison term and a five-year prison term respectively. He then spent a week in jail in Jodhpur before being granted bail. While finding him not guilty, the High Court had said there was no evidence to prove that the animals who were found dead were shot by Mr Khan's licensed gun. A key witness, the driver of the jeep that was us...
