Aamir Khan’s magnum opus PK that released in around 6000 screens worldwide last week minted a sum of Rs. 26.63 crore on its opening day. And as expected the weekend proved to be fruitful for the film as it managed to bank Rs. 30.34 crore and Rs. 36.40 crore on Saturday and Sunday respectively. But given the hype and buzz PK had created, the collections were a tad bit underwhelming as the film didn’t succeed in breaking the first day or first weekend collections of blockbusters like Dhoom 3 and Happy New Year.
After an excellent first day, the occupancy grew by 15% on day 2. And even though the morning shows lagged behind, the film soon gained momentum as the day progressed and witnessed houseful shows in the evening and at night. On Sunday, the occupancy grew stronger by 20% and according to reports was 70% overall. According to on going reports, the film was stronger in the multiplex circuit as compared to that of the single screens.
So far, the positive reviews and the curiosity factor that surrounds every Aamir Khan film has worked wonders for PK as the film has banked a total domestic collection of Rs. 93.37 crore in 3 days from its release. And from the looks of it, PK is all set for a great week ahead and will soon cross the 100 crore mark.
