Raaz 3 has already done good business on thursday in the paid previews. It had 80-85% occupancies all over. The best circuits were CP Berar, CI & Rajasthan. Raaz 3 is the biggest release for Emraan Hashmi with over 2000 screens. His last release Jannat 2 had just less than 2000 screens. Expectations were high from Raaz 3.
Raaz 3 opened very well at single screens all across India. It is super strong
in West Bengal, Bihar, CP Berar, CI, Rajasthan & Nizam. The occupancy level
is from 70% to 100%. It has got the fourth biggest opening in single screen
this year after Ek Tha Tiger, Agneepath & Rowdy Rathore.
The opening at multiplexes
is a little bit lower than single screens but still very good. The occupancy
level is from 50% to 70%.The music of the film was below par but the promotion
was healthy. The first day numbers will be very good & will comfortably
beat the previous best of Emraan Hashmi that is Jannat 2 which had 8.25 Cr
first day. But to ensure long run at the Box-office the collection at the metro
multiplexes should pick up.
Raaz 3 collected a handsome 10.25 - 10.5 Cr nett on its first day. The single
screen business was very strong & the multiplex business was also good. The
first day collection of Raaz 3 is
nearly 25% higher than Jannat 2 which was the previous best for an Emraan
Hashmi starer. Raaz 3 has now entered the Elite Club which are for those
films which have collected minimum 10 Cr on its first day. It is the 16th film
to do so. All the previous films have huge starcast or huge face value but
entering into this club for a film like Raaz 3 is a big achievement.
Raaz 3 recorded a very good collection on friday. But saturday came out to be
better than friday. And sunday seems to be much better than both friday &
saturday. The jump in saturday collections is not that big but the centers
which showed low collection on friday picked up big on saturday.
