Left Right Left and Thank You - Dull Opening - Boxoffice Update
Left Right Left has managed to pick up 20% on Saturday, but the opening was on the lower side, which may force holdovers in some big capacity theaters. The opening was pretty much on a poor side at around 12 lakhs on the first day. The movie has garnered unanimous positive reports from all corners, but the boxoffice tells a different story. The opening weekend shall end up just short of 50 lakhs as per the current estimates.
Thank You has also faced a situation similar to that of Left Right Left, opening at around 15% at 50 theaters. The film has grown over the weekend, but the Friday figures were well below average, which leads us to a rather poor first weekend, possibly under 35 lakhs. Even the low budget may not save the venture, unless things improve at the other end of the week. But how many screens will be movie hold then is the question.
A better release timing could have presented the industry with two sleeper hits, but now it all depends how ABCD and Honey Bee sustain during the weekdays.
Verdict : Dull Opening
