Box office: 'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan's performance continues to disappoint
What's the story
Ali Abbas Zafar's Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, starring Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff, has seen a significant drop in its box office performance.
On Day 12 of its release, the movie's earnings fell to just ₹1cr.
Despite an initial strong showing that outperformed the contemporary release of Ajay Devgn's biographical sports drama Maidaan, the film has failed to maintain momentum.
Here's a breakdown of collections.
Revenue breakdown
'BMCM' has been underperforming at the box office
In its first 11 days, BMCM managed to accumulate an estimated ₹55.55cr India nett.
However, Day 12 (Monday) saw a drastic decline in revenue, with earnings of just ₹1cr across all languages.
This brings the total box office collection of this action-packed film to ₹56.55cr, per Sacnilk.
Despite its initial promise, the movie's performance has been lackluster, and this week's earnings will be make or break for its future.
Occupancy details
Meanwhile, the film saw a gradual increase in audience turnout
On Monday, the overall Hindi occupancy for the film was recorded at 8.51%.
The morning shows saw a footfall of 6.08%, while the afternoon shows registered an 8.81% footfall.
The evening and night shows experienced slightly higher footfalls at 9.19% and 9.97% respectively, indicating a gradual increase in audience turnout as the day progressed.
In comparison, Maidaan had an impressive 24.33% Hindi occupancy, highlighting the significant impact positive word-of-mouth can have on earnings.
