Box Office: Cirkus First Sunday Early Estimates

Mumbai, December 25 - Cirkus, which had poor collections in the first two days, continues its low business at the box office on Sunday despite being a national holiday. The film is probably the biggest disappointment of the year as it had a superhit director and a massive star cast and was released on one of the best weekends of the year, Christmas.

As per the early estimates, the movie scored an estimated approx. 7.50 crores which is just a 15% jump when the film needed a 70-80% jump to record decent first weekend collections. The first Sunday collections will take the weekend collections of the film to around 20cr net depending on the final Sunday collections. The weekend collections will be less than the opening day collections of the previous Rohit Shetty and Ranveer Singh starrer "Simmba" which was released on the same weekend in 2018 and was a blockbuster.



Mumbai circuit is the only circuit where the film has found some audience but that is due to the insane track record of Rohit Shetty and not because of the content. Rest all other circuits have seen disaster collections. The first weekend has proved to be a killer for the film and it will lose most of its shows from Monday onwards. Avatar 2, which is simply running riot at the box office will get the maximum number of shows. Drishyam 2 whose run was almost ended might become the second choice now and the film might add some extra crores to its lifetime total.

Overall 2022 proved to be one of the worst years ever for the Hindi film industry and the hope is that the industry should be back on track in 2023 with mega-event films lined up. Though 2022 witnessed some unexpected Blockbusters like The Kashmir Files, Bhool Bhulaiya2, and Drishyam2.
