The Lion King has shown phenomenal growth on Saturday it collections set to be around 18 crore nett. The growth is looking to be around 70% which is unheard of for a film which collected double digits on the first day. The best for Hindi cinema are probably Super 30 and Toilet Ek Prem Katha but they were not at this level though it wont be long when some Hindi film opening over 10 crore nett surpasses this growth as the initials are getting worse.

The huge growth was expected as the collections grew well yesterday evening and the kids and families were always likely to come on Saturday but 70% growth is a huge trend. the two day numbers of the film will be around 28 crore nett. The growth in the South will be less as the film recorded very strong collections in Nizam / Andhra, Mysore / Karnataka and Tamil Nadu / Kerala on the first day. Nizam Andhra especially was huge on day one with 1.70 crore nett which was higher than Delhi / UP circuit.

Super 30 has even surpassed the growth of The Lion King though its the second Saturday compared to the first Saturday. The film could come out with growth of around 80-90% and is sure to cross the 8 crore nett mark. The nine day numbers of the film will be around 88 crore nett. The figures at many multiplexes in the metros have doubled from Friday.
