Raid 2 had a drop in collections on Wednesday as the attention of the nation was elsewhere with the Pakistan issue which erupted on Tuesday night. The collections did fall a bit as it collected 4.50 crore nett which is around 35% down but it was not because of the film but due to external factors. It was the case for all films and not just films but generally footfalls in malls and other shopping areas would have been down.

The film will go back today as this external factor becomes less of an issue unless something major happens again today. Raid 2 has almost 90 crore nett up in seven days and the extended first week will go to around 95 crore nett. The holds are there for the film though obviously a drop like this makes it look otherwise. 

The film lost a bit of momentum on Wednesday but it will be a totally different story if things normalize a little and that momnetum should return from today and go into the weekend which enable good collections. Obviously attention of the public is going to be elsewhere for the next few days but probably not to the level of Wednesday so Raid 2 can still put up strong numbers. It also shows how these external things affect the box office so much today compared to 5-10 yaers back as its all over the media to another level and the public is consumed by that. The seven day box office collections of Raid 2 are as follows.

Thursday - 19,25,00,000 apprx

Friday - 12,15,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 18,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 22,00,00,000 apprx

Monday - 7,00,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 6,85,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 4,50,00,000 apprx

TOTAL - 89,75,00,000 apprx
