A long Diwali festival has started with Dhanteres in India with the hope of bringing prosperity to everyone's life. However, it didn't turn out to be a good start for the film industry as most of the top releases have had a dull start at the box office. Be it Made In China, and Saand Ki Aankh, both had a poor opening.
Housefull 4, one of the most awaited and big-budgeted films of 2019, though didn't collect big numbers, it was still way ahead than the other movies. The biggest comedy entertainer of the year has not earned as expected, but with releasing 3 other films, it has done decently on the first day as it earned 19.08 Cr India net.
The day 1 occupancy of
Housefull 4 remained steady throughout the day whereas it picked in the night shows. It was around 40% for the last part of the day while the average occupancy was 30% for day 1.
Among the main cities, Delhi and Mumbai which has the highest number of shows, has had an average occupancy of 27.50% for the day. Chennai had the highest occupancy with nearly 70% but it has only 40 shows due to the Tollywood film
Bigil. Bengaluru and Hyderabad also did well enough with nearly 40% occupancy for each.
Housefull 4 is the part of the hit franchise Housefull which stars Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Bobby Deol, Kriti Sanon, Pooja Hegde, and Kriti Kharbanda.
On the other hand,
Saand Ki Aankh which is a biopic starring Bhumi Pednekar, and Taapsee Pannu, couldn't make its mark on day 1. Most of the theaters remained empty for this sports entertainer as it earned roughly 1 Cr India net which is less than
The Sky Is Pink which was released on Friday, October 11.
Very much similar to Saand Ki Aankh,
Made In China too had a dull start at the box office. However, the opening day numbers for Made In China are slightly better than Saand Ki Aankh as it earned roughly 2 Cr India net. Made In China is a comedy film which stars Rajkummar Rao and Mouni Roy.
