Box Office: Bade Miyan Chote Miyan and Maidaan Fourth Day/First Sunday Early Estimates

Mumbai, April 14 - Pooja Entertainment's action thriller Bade Miyan Chote Miyan has a low-extended first weekend at the domestic box office with a net collection of 40.25+ crores. The movie failed to overcome mixed to negative reception despite the Eid weekend. ## The Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff-starrer hasn't grown much on its first Sunday with a collection similar to yesterday for an estimated 8.75-9.25 crores net. The mass centres have contributed more to the overall total but are nowhere near the potential of a film featuring an A-list star cast with a blockbuster director. ## Given the flat trend over the weekend, it is clear that the movie hasn't been able to connect with the audiences, be it multiplex or mass. A super strong hold on Monday is crucial for the film if the movie wants to go anywhere near the 100 crore net mark. ## Ajay Devgn-starrer sports biopic Maidaan failed to convert the positive word of mouth into footfalls with a poor 4-day weekend with around 21.75 crores net collection. On its first Monday, the movie minted an estimated 6-6.50 crores net.## As said, there is no big challenge for both the movies for the next couple of weeks so they have a chance to collect steadily if manage to hold well during the weekdays. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Bade Miyan Chote Miyan and Maidaan Third Day/First Saturday Early Estimates

Mumbai, April 13 - Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff's action thriller Bade Miyan Chote Miyan shows a jump of around 15% on its first Saturday which might not be good enough after the underwhelming first two days for a movie carrying massive cost. ## According to early estimates, Ali Abbas Zafar's directorial flick scored 8.50-9 crores net, pushing the total to around 31.75 crores in 3-days. Ideally, the movie should have scored somewhere close to the opening day collection to get close to 50 crores opening weekend but it will now fall well short of that target. ## The opening weekend of BMCM is heading towards 40-43 crores net which is poor for the size of the movie. The biz on Monday will give a fair idea of where the film is heading as far as the lifetime collection is concerned. ## Meanwhile, Ajay Devgn-fronted Maidaan sees a big jump of around 80% on its third day, however, the overall collection remains on the lower side with an estimated 5.50-6 crores net. The big jump was a must for the film after earning nowhere near its potential in the first two days. ## The total collection of the film after three days is over 15.50 crores net which is still very poor for a big-budget film. The movie will need to show a similar or bigger jump on Sunday as well and then will have to hope for a strong hold on Monday to stand a chance for a decent lifetime total. ## The good thing for both BMCM is that there is not a big release for the next couple of weeks so they will have a chance to collect if manage to hold on Monday. ## Stay tuned...
