NO GAME RUNWAY & HEROPANTI 2

It is quite hot here in Mumbai

where as the box office numbers are not

As we said it’s a fickle thing

Sometimes goes up and
sometimes down!

Welcome to NUMBER GAME
with me Himesh

Where we discuss nothing but numbers

That is the box office
collections of feature films

Since 2009 Eid releases have been
synonymous to Salman Khan films

He started his journey
on the festival with Wanted

and followed it up with

Dabbang, Bodyguard, Ek Tha Tiger, Kick,
Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Sultan,Tube Light, race 3 and Bharat

good, bad or ugly his films always
recorded a solid opening weekend

even an offbeat film like TubeLight had
taken a very good start of 21 crore

This Eid the scenario was different as no
Salman Khan film saw a release on the big screen

The 2 Eid releases of 2022 are

Runway 34 with Ajay Devgn,
Amitabh Bachchan and Rakul Preet Singh

And Heropanti 2 with Tiger Shroff
Tara Sutaria and Nawazuddin Siddiqui

Let's start today's episode by analyzing
the box office collection of Runway 34

Runway 34 took
a slow start at the box office

on friday it collected 3 crores

followed by a 50% jump on Saturday
with collections of four and a half crores

and finally another 33% jump
on Sunday to clock 5.75 crores

with this the opening weekend of Runway 34
stands at thirteen and a half crores

these are low collections
no doubt

but the upward trend
over the weekend has given

some hope of
sustenance on the weekdays

The Eid holiday falls
on Tuesday and on that day

there should be some sort of
jump in collections of Runway 34

while Runway 34 saw an
upward trend over the weekend

Heropanti 2 went down
with every passing day

it collected 6.25 crores
on the opening day

followed by 4.75 crores
on the second day

and finally

three and a half crores
on third day

with this opening weekend collection
of Heropanti 2 stands at

Fourteen and a half crores

these are again poor figures
but unlike Runway 34

the problem here for
Heropanti 2 is that the collections

have come down
with every passing day

This doesn't give an encouraging signal
as far as long run is concerned

The opening weekend numbers of Runway 34
and Heropanti 2 are not up to the mark

In fact, one expected lot lot
more from the 2 Eid releases

Because the standards set
over the last few years are quite high

But what would happen in the future?

Well, with the trend
we can say that Heropanti 2

might not have any legs
to sustain in the days to come

Even the Eid holiday
won't help the film much

As far as Runway 34 is concerned

yes it might show some hold because there is
some sort of word of mouth in its target audience

that is multiplex

But how far will it go?

is something we can't answer because

the target audience of Runway 34 has
a big Hollywood release next week

That is

Dr Strange

So yes the Eid weekend or let's say
the pre- Eid-weekend has been disappointing

And now let's see if the film manages
to capitalize on the Eid holiday on Tuesday

It has been a disappointing
weekend for the 2 Eid releases

Runway 34 & Heropanti 2

While the upward
trend has given some hope

for Runway 34 to capitalize
on the Eid holiday on Tuesday

It's curtains down for Heropanti 2

as the business has
gone down with every passing day

KGF 2 on the other hand
in its third week

is continuing to
roar at the box office

In fact, the third-weekend collection
you heard that right!

The third-weekend collection of KGF Chapter 2

is higher than the
first-weekend collection of

Both Heropanti 2 & Runway 34

KGF 2 collected 4 crores
on Friday followed by a big jump

to collect 7 crores on Saturday
and finally another big jump

to collect 10 crores on Sunday

These are excellent numbers

And the film is now on its course
to do 400 crores in the hindi belts

With this KGF 2 will become the 2nd highest
grossing film of all time in the Hindi belt

After Bahubali 2

which had collected 511 crores

That also means KGF 2 will surpass the
box office collection of all Hindi films including

the highest-grossing
Hindi film of all time,

Dangal
fronted by Aamir Khan

What went wrong with the two Eid releases?
Runway 34 & Heropanti 2

The answer is simple

One was a bad film!

The other was a niche film!

One film didn't excite the audience

the other film appealed to
a very limited section of the audience

That was it for this Eid

But next Eid promises to be action-packed
as Salman Khan returns with

Tiger 3 which is expected
to set the box office on fire

That was it in today's episode
of the NUMBER GAME
