Box Office: Brad Pitt's F1 scores an excellent trend at the Indian box office in week one; Shows NO DROP from Monday to Thursday
F1 is scoring phenomenal occupancies at the IMAX properties, which have contributed 30 percent to the total business, and it is holding on to all the premium screens in the second week too. Interestingly, there is a drop in showcasing outside the IMAX format in India owing to competition from another Hollywood film, Jurassic World: Rebirth and a Hindi film in the form of Metro In Dino.
In an ideal world, the film should have held better showcasing in week two, but internal politics of national chains have resulted in a drop in showcasing, but there the film is certain to get back a large chunk of shows over the weekend due to demand from the audiences. The film should be looking to hold itself above the Rs 3 crore mark on Friday, and then show a surge to Rs 5 crore each on Saturday and Sunday.
F1 is a Bonafide HIT in India, and will now be aiming to attain the super hit tag, if it shows the same legs in week two and week three as well. These are excellent figures for a non-franchise/non IP film in India, and the trend indicates a vast acceptance from the cinema going audience. The film in all likelihood will show strong legs in the coming few weeks, and attempt to hit the Rs 70 crore mark by the end of its run in India.
Here's a look at day wise box office collections of F1 in India
Day Amount
Friday Rs 5.50 crore
Saturday Rs 7.25 crore
Sunday Rs 8.00 crore
Monday Rs 3.25 crore
Tuesday Rs 3.50 crore
Wednesday Rs 3.50 crore
Thursday Rs 3.50 crore
Week One Rs 34.50 crore
