Zero box office collection failed to lift up over the weekend with the Shah Rukh Khan, Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif film earning ₹54.5 crore during the first weekend, as reported by Box Office India. Disappointingly, the film failed to even reach its Friday figures – ₹20.14 crore – on Saturday and Sunday.
The box office aggregator reported Zero’s collections over the first weekend as – ₹20.14 crore on Friday, ₹18.22 crore on Saturday and ₹18.25 crore on Sunday. The Aanand L Rai film was a holiday release and enjoys an extended window – with Christmas on Tuesday. However, the film will face stiff competition from Ranveer Singh, Sara Ali Khan-starrer Simmba this coming Friday.
According to analysts, trade was expecting a ₹30 crore opening with the film increasing its tally over the weekend and on Tuesday. The film has been reportedly made on a ₹200 crore budget. As compared to earlier Shah Rukh Khan films, Zero’s box office performance over the weekend is comparable to Fan but better than Jab Harry Met Sejal.
The film has not performed well internationally as well, where SRK is perhaps the biggest crowd puller. In most of the territories, Zero has emerged as the fifth highest opener behind Padmaavat, Race 3, Sanju and Thugs of Hindostan.
