Box Office: 'Animal' and 'Sam Bahadur' First Saturday/Second Day Early Estimates

Mumbai, December 2 - Animal is in riot mode on its second day as collections are simply out of the world. The movie had a monstrous opening day with close to 64 crores net collection, including over 54 crores net in Hindi, and now, on its second day, the collection jumped around 10% in Hindi.

According to early estimates, the Ranbir Kapoor-led blockbuster scored an estimated 60-61 crores net collection in Hindi on Saturday which is extraordinary numbers. This takes the total collection of the film to around 115 crores net in Hindi in just two days, making it the second-biggest two-day aggregate collection in the Hindi language.



In the Telugu version, Animal has another good day with an estimated collection in the range of 6 crores. The overall second-day collection is in the range of 66 crores net with a jump of around 3-5%, as per the estimates. The two-day total in all versions is around 130 crores, and the weekend is looking to be around 200 crores net.

In the Hindi version, Animal will be eyeing the biggest opening weekend ever if it manages to take a decent jump on Sunday which could help it go past Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan's first three days total of 180.45 crores net in Hindi.

Meanwhile, Vicky Kaushal-led Sam Bahadur scored a good jump of around 45% today to score an estimated 9-10 crores net. This takes the two-day total collection of the film to over 15 crores net and the weekend is looking to be 25-27 crores net which is a good collection in a clash with a tsunami-like Animal.

Sam Bahadur has found appreciation in multiplex audiences and the jump in the collection today is proof of that. Another decent jump on Sunday is expected and then, the movie needs to hold well during the weekdays to reach a respectable total. The good news is that there is no real competition to it other than Animal till December 21, so it has a chance to score on a decent level till then.
