Akshay Kumar’s Biggie Dominates January 2025 With 100% Higher Collections Than 4 Other Releases Combined!
Akshay Kumar led Sky Force is no longer the only big Bollywood release at the ticket windows. Shahid Kapoor led Deva has arrived in theatres and gave a strong competition on its opening day. There’s been a visible impact as the action drama fell below the 5 crore mark on the second Friday. Scroll below for the day 8 box office collections!
Unexpected fall on second Friday
After surpassing expectations in the first week, it remained crucial for Akshay Kumar starrer to maintain its momentum. The collections witnessed another 16% fall from 5.50 crores earned on the previous day.
On day 8, Sky Force has added 4.60 crores more to the kitty. While a weekend boost is inevitable, this is worrisome because these are signs that the box office collections may fall below the 4 crore mark on the second Monday and thereafter.
The 8-day total at the Indian box office now stands at 104.30 crores. Take a look at the box office breakdown below:
- Week 1: 99.70 crores
- Day 8: 4.60 crores
Total: 104.30 crores
It is now to be seen how close Sky Force can get to its 160 crore budget during the second weekend in order to achieve the breakeven stage. In a week, Khushi Kapoor & Junaid Khan’s Loveyapa and Himesh Reshammiya’s Badass Ravikumar will also arrive in theatres. The battle will get more intense. Currently, Akshay Kumar starrer is facing strong competition from Shahid Kapoor’s Deva.
