Thugs Of Hindostan took another hit on Saturday with collections in the 22.5-23 crore nett range. The drop is in the region of 15-20% and it has taken its three day total to 100 crore nett plus. The three day weekend is in the same range as Race 3 but that film had first day falling on pre Eid. 

The film is just about the first day where it smashed almost very record in the book but since then the downfall has been rapid. It reminds one of the 1996 film Trimurti which also did the same but went down fast. The film may well show a further drop on Sunday.

The film has not only had a ditto 3 day weekend as Race 3 across India but the collection break up is almost ditto which is sheer coincidence. If we look at the three main chains of PVR, Inox and Cinepolis and this is were bulk of the high ends are. Race 3 grossed 34.80 crore nett in these chains in 3 days and Thugs of Hindostan has done 34.25 crore apprx from the same three chains.

Another coincidence is the single screen business of the two is same over the first three days. Thugs Of Hindustan is 29.50 crore nett apprx and Race 3 was 29.05 crore nett. The edge here is that Thugs of Hindustan got the big holiday on day one when single screens are mad and the second day also where again single screens remain at high levels. Race 3 was pre eid so missed out on single screen business on day one at many places otherwise it would have been better in single screens despite Thugs Of Hindustan having the better date.

The all India business of the two is same give or take a few lakhs and the break up of multiplexes to single screens is also the same.
