Haiwaan Box Office Collections Fall as First Week Ends
Haiwaan is a movie starring Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan.
It started with ₹3 crore in ticket sales in India.
After its first weekend, it had made ₹7.35 crore.
Its daily earnings then fell to ₹70 lakh on Monday and Tuesday.
Reports said it made ₹55 lakh on Wednesday.
One report called Wednesday day six and another called it day seven, so the totals differ slightly.
The film’s reported worldwide earnings reached between ₹14.36 crore and ₹15.11 crore in the reports.
Writers said average excitement before release and mixed reviews made it harder for the movie to attract audiences.
Haiwaan opened with ₹3 crore net in India and earned ₹7.35 crore during its first weekend.
The film collected ₹55 lakh net on Wednesday, identified as day six in one report, taking its India total to ₹9.30 crore.
A later report identified ₹55 lakh as the seventh-day collection, putting the first-week India net total at ₹9.85 crore.
Reported worldwide gross rose from ₹14.36 crore on day six to ₹15.11 crore on day seven, with differing overseas figures.
