Don 2 grand opening at Box Office on first day

Hindi movie Don 2, starring Shahrukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra, has received a grand opening at the Box Office. Farhan Akthar directed film has opened to fabulous response at multiplexes, but its opening looked average in single screens when compared to multiplexes. It is expected to earn around Rs 15 crore net at the collection centres on the first day of its release in India.

The much-awaited movie Don 2 opened in 3,105 screens in India on Friday, 23rd December. Shahrukh-starrer action thriller registered an average of 70% occupancy at multiplexes across the country. Though its business was very low in single screens in the morning shows, yet it seemed to be picking up slowly in evening shows.

However, Don 2, which is the last big offering of 2011, has been released as a treat for this Christmas and it was expected to debut with huge earning. But the opening response is not up to the mark and biggest reason for it is that it was a working Friday. Besides this, the film received mixed reviews. It is expected to pick up its pace on Saturday and Sunday.
