Good Newwz, Akshay Kumar’s sixth consecutive film to cross the Rs 100 crore mark, continues to maintain rhythm even during the week. The film showed a decline from the New Year holiday on Wednesday but collected a decent Rs 10.80 crore on Thursday. The film has collected Rs 127.90 crore in its first week.
Sharing the day-wise collections of the film, film trade analyst Taran Adarsh wrote on Twitter, “Good Newwz puts up a fantastic show in Week 1... Metros terrific... Multiplexes of Tier-2 cities very good... Emerges HIT... Fri 17.56 cr, Sat 21.78 cr, Sun 25.65 cr, Mon 13.41 cr, Tue 16.20 cr, Wed 22.50 cr, Thu 10.80 cr. Total: Rs 127.90 cr. #India biz.”
He predicted a good run for the film this week as well. The film might cross the Rs 200 crore mark until the release of Deepika Padukone’s Chhapaak and Ajay Devgn’s Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior on January 10. Confirming the same, he tweeted, “With no major film this week, it’s advantage #GoodNewwz for one more week... Should hit Rs 150 cr in Weekend 2... Target Rs 200 cr can be achieved *if* it trends well on weekdays, which, in turn, will help programming in Week 3, when #Tanhaji, #Chhapaak and #Darbar arrive.” If the film earns Rs 200 crore, it will be Akshay’s third consecutive film to do so after Mission Mangal and Housefull 4.
