After taking a good opening of Rs. 7.23 crores, Superman slowed down during the weekdays as Day 7 came to mere Rs. 1.82 crores. While Hollywood movies are traditionally weekend affairs, one still expected collections to hover around Rs. 2.50-3 crores mark at least. However, when Monday itself went below the Rs. 2.50 crores mark and stood at Rs. 2.36 crores, it was quite apparent that the first week would turn out to be just about average.
This is what happened indeed as after the first weekend didn’t really get a double digit score with Saturday being agonisingly short by just a lakh at Rs. 9.99 crores and Sunday actually dipping a bit at Rs. 9.39 crores, the weekdays stayed in Rs. 2 crores zone with Thursday going further low at Rs. 1.82 crores. On its second Friday, the film has anyways faced immense challenge due to the arrival of Saiyaara, as a result of which the collections have taken a hit.
While the first week numbers were Rs. 35.58 crores, so far, the film has netted Rs. 37 crores*. The good part is that there would be a rise in collections seen today and since the film is anyways playing at lower levels now, the quantum of jump will look bigger. There continues to be competition from Hollywood’s own Jurassic World: Rebirth as well as F1 - The Movie which means audiences are spilt for choices. Superman will go past Rs. 50 crores lifetime and if only the content would have entertained better too then after an opening of Rs. 7.23 crores, even a lifetime of around Rs. 65-75 crores could have been achieved.
