Last week’s release THANK YOU collected approx. Rs. 30.5 cr nett in Week 1 [official figures issued by UTV]. Breakup:- Fri 5 cr, Sat 6 cr, Sun 7.5 cr, Mon 3 cr, Tue [holiday] 3.5 cr, Wed 2.5 cr, Thu [holiday] 3 cr. Ideally, given the cast of the film, plus in view of the fact that the film teams the Akshay – Anees Bazmee combo after two Blockbuster Hits, besides the holidays throughout the week, the film should’ve collected at least Rs 50 cr to Rs 55 cr in Week 1. The business is thus below the mark.

Tanu Weds Manu has an open run in its fourth and fifth weeks so has a chance to add another 5 crore nett business to its tally for a 37 crore nett lifetime total. The film should do a lifetime distributor share of around 16 crore.
World Invasion: Battle Los Angeles and its dubbed Hindi version Antariksh Ka Aakraman had poor first week with combined business of around 4 crore nett.

TANU WEDS MANU collected approx. Rs. 8.55 cr nett in its Week 2. Total so far: Rs. 27.08 cr nett. The breakup: Fri 1.26 cr, Sat 1.95 cr, Sun 1.90 cr, Mon 82 lacs, Tue 1.22 cr, Wed 65 lacs, Thurs 72 lacs. HIT
7 KHOON MAAF dropped further with around 90 lakhs nett business in week three. The three week total is 18.25 crore nett. FLOP
Yesterday’s mega Hollywood release WORLD INVASION: BATTLE LOS ANGELES and its dubbed Hindi version Antariksh Ka Aakraman opened to a poor response of around 20%. It was the dubbed version which was better at places. The film may make money for some distributors as it has been given at very low prices but theatrical business is unlikely to be good despite no competition.

Patiala House collects 22.5 crs in Week 1

Akshay’s release PATIALA HOUSE collected approx. Rs. 22.5 to Rs. 23 cr nett in Week 1. The business picked up over the weekend [although it was still below expectations], but didn’t show any upswing on weekdays. The break up is as follows: Fri 4.05 cr, Sat 5.05 cr, Sun 6.05 cr, Mon 2.75 cr, Tue 1.75 cr, Wed 1.5 cr, Thurs 1.35 cr. Till last year, Akshay starrers would fetch Rs. 35 cr + in Week 1, so the first week figure of PH seems really low.
The total cost of PATIALA HOUSE stands at Rs. 45 cr [includes Rs 9 cr incurred on P & A]. The producers have already recovered their investment by selling India theatrical rights [Rs. 23 cr], Overseas [Rs. 7 cr], Satellite [Rs. 15 cr] and Music + Home Video combined [Rs. 4.5 cr]. The onus falls on the distributors, who acquired the film at reasonable prices. The film has to sustain in its second weekend, so that the respective distributors can recover their investment.

UTT PATAANG had very dull collections of around 30 lakhs while likes of UNITED SIX and TUM HI TO HO were even worse. All three films are box office DISASTERS.
DIL TO BACCHA HAI JI dropped badly in week two with business around the 6 crore nett mark. This takes its two week total to 27 crore nett approx and it is likely the film will not hit the 30 crore nett mark. BELOW AVERAGE

Dil To Baccha Hai Ji collected approx. Rs. 21 cr nett in Week 1. The breakup: Fri 3.7 cr, Sat 4.55 cr, Sun 5.75 cr, Mon 2.05 cr, Tue 1.85 cr, Wed 1.5 cr, Thu 1.35 cr. The film maintained steady figures on weekdays, although the ‘Adults’ certification affected its business significantly. The multiplexes have held well, not single screens. Overall, the investors would end up making decent profits due to good recovery from Satellite Rights.
Dhobi Ghat crashed 90% in week two with around 1.25 crore nett business. The two week total is around 13.75 crore nett. BELOW AVERAGE
Yamla Pagla Deewana grossed 3.50 crore nett approx in its third week. The drop was 76% approx from week two. The three week distributor share is 28.75 crore approx.

Peepli [Live] out of Oscar race

By IANS (THE TIMES OF INDIA; January 20, 2011)
“Peepli Live”, India’s official entry for the Oscars this year, is out of the race.
The Aamir Khan-produced film is not in the list of nine movies selected for the next next round of voting in the Foreign Language Film category for the 83rd Academy Awards.
Directed by journalist-turned-director Anusha Rizvi, the satirical comedy wowed audiences to become one of 2010′s top five grossers.
However, it seems the film couldn’t impress the Academy bosses.
This year, 65 countries, including first-time entrants Ethiopia and Greenland, had submitted films for consideration in the Foreign Language Film category.
Foreign Language Film nominations for 2010 are again being determined in two phases, said a statement posted on the Oscar official website.
The Phase one committee, consisting of several hundred Los Angeles-based members, screened the 66 eligible films between mid-October and Jan 13. The group’s top six choices, augmented by three additional selections voted by the Academy’s Foreign Language Film Award Executive Committee, constitute the shortlist.
The shortlist will be winnowed down to the five nominees by specially invited committees in New York and Los Angeles. They will spend Friday, Jan 21, through Sunday, Jan 23, viewing three films each day and then casting their ballots.
The nine films, listed in alphabetical order by country, selected for second stage are:
Algeria, “Hors la Loi” (“Outside the Law”), Rachid More >
