First Weekend Box Office Collections of Ready - 42.75 Cr, Second Highest Ever

Ready has set the box office on fire over its first weekend with a fantastic opening, grossing around 43 crore over the opening weekend. It has emerged the second biggest opener ever after Dabangg - Second highest opening weekend ever and the biggest non holiday weekend surpassing the biggest non holiday weekend of Raajneeti by a huge 20% plus margin.



Break Up - Fri 13.28 cr, Sat 12.66 cr, Sun 16.22 cr. Total: 42.75 Cr

Update: Ready Box office collections on Monday 8.05 cr, Tuesday 7.15 cr.

5 day Total of Ready: 57.36 cr

Monday is rock-steady; the morning and noon shows being 70% to 90% of friday numbers, which is fantastic.

The Top 5 openers are as follows:-

DABANGG - 49 cr,
READY - 42.75 cr,
3 IDIOTS - 40 cr,
TEES MAAR KHAN - 38 cr,
GOLMAAL 3 - 36 cr

The film has under performed slightly in West Bengal and Mysore but elsewhere collections are very strong be it multiplexes or single screens. Saturday had a noticeable drop at places but it was where opening was phenomenal and where the opening was a bit less the film held up. Infact in Mysore and West Bengal where it had lowest opening, business on Saturday was up. Sunday was strong across the board.

The film is a huge winner and the biggest hit of the year and it is the weekdays that will decide whether it can become a Blockbuster, which looks highly likely going by the strong monday collections that are coming in.

Ready is likely to do a distributor share of anything between 40-60 crore so its a solid Hit, if the share gets around the 50 crore mark then it will be a Super Hit. Blockbuster business at around 60 crore share possible if Monday collections come out to be 8-9 crore.
