Box Office: Fukrey 3 First Tuesday Early Estimates

Mumbai, October 3 - After the good extended holiday weekend, comic caper "Fukrey 3" sees a drop on its first working day. The drop from Monday, which was a Gandhi Jayanti holiday, is around 60% while the same is around 40% from Friday which is a bit higher than expected.

On its first Tuesday/6th day, "Fukrey 3" scored an estimated 4.50 crores net collection (can go higher) which takes the total collection to around 59.50 crores in 6 days. A 5+ crore net Tuesday would have been a nice hold. The first 8-day extended weekend is looking to be around 67 crores.

"Fukrey 3", despite the underwhelming first working day, is in a safe position due to the controlled budget. The movie is still in the race to join the 100 Crores Net Club, but if it falls short, the movie will be a box-office success. It should be able to cross the lifetime collection of its predecessor which scored approximately 80 crores net in 2017 in the second weekend.

"Fukrey Returns" had scored 50 crores net in the first week which the latest hit crossed in just 5 days. The trend is much better for the latest movie, which should ensure a healthy lifetime total for it though it has to face competition from Akshay Kumar's "Mission Raniganj" this Friday while Shah Rukh Khan's "Jawan" is already running strong.

Stay tuned...
