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.
