BOXING FOR THE BOX
- HINDI BOX-OFFICE ANALYSIS

Do Knot disturb and Wake up Sid were released recently and both have got a favorable reception at the box-office. Wake up Sid got a more favorable reception amongst the critics compared to Do Knot Disturb which didn't get as many thumbs up from the critics. 'Do Knot Disturb' released by Big Pictures came up with more than 800 prints in India alone whereas Wake up Sid, distributed by UTV motion pictures, came out with just 420 prints.

However, Wake up Sid was able to garner collections that mirror DKD. While Wake up Sid has grossed Rs. 10.5 crores in the first weekend, Do knot Disturb grossed Rs. 11 crores. The average per print may have gone in favor of Wake up Sid but DKD would surely win the battle when distribution share is counted as DKD’s gross, which in single screens, are much higher. Facing a second week competition in the form of Acid Factory and the biggies the week after in the form of 'Blue', 'Main aur Mrs. Khanna' and 'All the best' both the films will slowly decline; therefore, we can expect a Rs. 25- 28 crore final from Do Knot Disturb which will make it an average earner when compared to its heavy budget, and almost Rs. 30-33 crores for Wake up Sid making it an above average grosser in their theatrical runs. Both of the movies will expect to earn revenues only after the satellite rights are sold.

Wanted is still going strong in its 3rd week, having made a cool Rs. 54 crores nett till now and is heading for the elite

top ten distribution share ever in the history of Hindi films.

Overseas Wake up Sid has easily outwitted Do Knot Disturb in the US and UK Market. While in the Middle -east the collections are similar.

This week's release Acid Factory can expect average to below average turnout thanks to the improper marketing campaign.
