The Jungle Book has had a very good first day with collections set to be in the 9.50 crore nett range as per early estimates. The figures coming from the Hindi film markets suggest a higher figure but there is a big Telugu release down South and that will mean the ratio of the South Indian markets should come in lower than normal.
The 9.50 crore number is a huge opening and on top there is potential for growth though maybe not in Maharashtra as it was a holiday for Gudi Padwa. Outside Maharashtra the film should show solid growth. The opening is the third biggest ever for a Hollywood release.
Ka & Ki has also held pretty well on day eight and should be 2 crore nett range though growth may not be as normal for a second weekend as it was a holiday for Maharashtra and the weekend crowd will go to The Jungle Book.
