Awarapan 2 Day 3 Morning Occupancy Update & Early Trend.
Awarapan 2 has opened with 30 to 35 percent occupancy today on Day 3 Sunday. After the big Independence Day jump of 32 to 33 crore on Day 2, the Emraan Hashmi starrer is showing a normal drop on Sunday. The film continues to lead the box office and is maintaining strong shows in multiplexes while mass centers are also steady.
Early morning trends suggest that Day 3 collection will finish in the range of 26 to 27 crore net in India. The drop from Saturday is expected and healthy for a film that had a massive holiday boost on Friday. Advance booking remained decent and spot sales picked up from the afternoon shows as families came out for the weekend.
The Sunday numbers are crucial because they complete the extended opening weekend. With 26 to 27 crore expected today, Awarapan 2 is all set to collect 80 crore plus in its first weekend. That puts it comfortably among the biggest Bollywood openings of the year and cements its position as the clear winner of the Independence Day clash.
The two day total of around 55 crore combined with today's estimate takes the four day extended weekend to a very strong number. Positive word of mouth and repeat audience have helped the thriller hold despite the arrival of new competition. Multiplexes in metros and single screens in UP, Bihar and Delhi NCR have all contributed well.
Overall, Awarapan 2 has passed the first big test with flying colors. From a record single day on Independence Day to a solid Sunday hold, the film has shown consistency. If it sustains on Monday, an 80 crore plus weekend will give it a blockbuster launch and set it up for a long run at the box office.
