Mission: Impossible Makes 37 Cr In 2 Days

It
was
Hollywood
all
the
way
as
two
major
films
arrived
in
theatres
—

Mission:
Impossible
–
The
Final
Reckoning
and

Final
Destination
–
Bloodlines.

The

Mission:
Impossible
franchise
has
been
embraced
by
Indian
audiences
for
two
decades.
The

Final
Destination
franchise
has
its
loyalists
though
it’s
largely
niche.

The
arrival
of
these
Hollywood
films
meant
that
there
wasn’t
much
that
came
from
Bollywood.

Neither
film
had
a
conventional
three
day
weekend.
While

Final
Destination
–
Bloodline
arrived
on
Thursday
(with
midnight
shows
on
Wednesday
itself),
hence
resulting
in
a
four
day
weekend,

Mission:
Impossible
–
The
Final
Reckoning
released
on
Saturday
(which
was
unprecedented),
hence
enjoying
just
a
two
day
weekend.

Even
in
these
two
days,
the
Tom
Cruise
starrer
collected
Rs
37
crores
(Rs
370
million)*.

This
is
a
very
good
number
since
so
many
Hindi
films
struggle
to
earn
this
much
in
their
entire
opening
weekend,
and

Mission:
Impossible
–
The
Final
Reckoning
managed
that
in
just
two
days.

Final
Destination
–
Bloodlines
made
the
most
of
the
four
day
weekend
and
ended
up
collecting
Rs
20
crores
(Rs
200
million)*.

The
collections
stayed
consistent
around
the
Rs
5
crores
(Rs
50
million)
mark
on
a
daily
basis
and
the
overall
number
so
far
is
enough
to
ensure
a
trajectory
that
takes
it
into
the
success
zone.

Between
the
two
films,
a
half
century
has
already
been
scored
and
that
has
kept
the
exhibition
sector
and
distribution
circles
happy.

What
the
industry
needs
is
audiences
to
keep
coming
to
theatres
and
the
need
of
the
situation
is
for
that
to
happen
regardless
of
which
language
a
film
is
made
in.
