Box Office: 'Tumbbad' Re-Release Third Day Collection

Mumbai, September 15 - Director Rahi Anil Barve's folk horror thriller Tumbbad scored a fantastic first weekend at the domestic box office upon its re-release. The movie surpasses expectations to earn more than 2X of the original run opening weekend collection.

Tumbbad scored approximately 1.60 crores net collection on its first day of re-release, followed by 2.60 crores net on the second day with a good jump of 62.50%. The movie breached the 3 crore mark on Sunday as it scored approximately 3 crore to conclude the opening weekend on a high note.



The re-release opening weekend collection of the film is close to 7.25 crores net and is now just 6 crores away from outgrossing the lifetime collection of its original run. Tumbbad is expected to do well during the weekdays as word-of-mouth is growing.

There haven't been many Bollywood films which performed well after getting re-released. This year, Rockstar and Laila Majnu did well and grossed over 10 crores each upon re-release. Tumbbad is setting up a new benchmark for non-original releases and is expected to end up with much more than its original collection (13.50 crores net).

Tumbbad was a box office flop when it was released in 2018 but after 6 years, it is having a verdict-changing re-release run. It will be interesting to see how far it can go, as a longer run will boost the box office prospects of its sequel which was announced on Saturday (September 14).
