Trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to Twitter to further dissect the Box Office report of the film. "IT’S ROCKING… #RockyAurRaniKiiPremKahaani puts up a solid show of strength on Day 3 [Sun]… The phenomenal jump on Sat and Sun has given its theatrical journey the much-required boost… Fri 11.10 cr, Sat 16.05 cr, Sun 18.75 cr. Total: ₹ 45.90 cr. #India biz.”
“The performance at major centres was strong from Day 1, but the excellent growth at Tier 2 and Tier 3 centres on Sat and Sun has silenced all naysayers, who felt it wouldn’t break into non-metro centres, especially the #Hindi circuits… Clearly indicates that the super-strong word of mouth has come into play,” he added.
Taran Adarsh in his tweet continued and said, “#RRKPK needs to maintain the grip on the crucial make-or-break Day 4 [Mon]… And also stay strong on the remaining weekdays.”
The trade analyst also gave a breakdown of numbers the film has made throughout different multiplex chains, “#RockyAurRaniKiiPremKahaani at national chains… Fri / Sat / Sun… #PVR: 3.35 cr / 4.80 cr / 5.40 cr
#INOX: 2.20 cr / 3.45 cr / 4.10 cr
#Cinepolis: 1.15 cr / 1.75 cr / 1.95 cr
Total: ₹ 6.70 cr / ₹ 10 cr / ₹ 11.45 cr.”
