Shamitabh
movie
starring
Dhanush
and
Amitabh
Bachchan
was
one
of
the
most
anticipated
movie
this
year,
owing
to
which
we
expected
the
movie
to
get
at
least
40%
occupancy
on
the
opening
day.
Unfortunately
things
did
not
follow
through
and
Shamitabh
opened
to
just
30%
occupancy
due
to
which
the
opening
day
collections
also
fell
through
and
resulted
in
an
income
of
just
Rs
3.5
crores,
an
amount
that
usually
a
low
budget,
newcomer's
movie
gets.
Shamitabh
with
it's
star
cast
should
have
easily
got
Rs
13-14
crores
to
have
an
average
opening
at
Box
Office.
It's
low
income
of
just
Rs
3.5
crores
indicate
the
movie
may
flop.
On
Saturday,
when
the
collections
usually
sore
owing
to
it
be
a
weekend,
the
movie
just
grossed
over
Rs
4.75
crores
which
is
very
less.
On
Sunday
too
the
film
did
not
see
much
increase
in
the
number
of
viewership
in
the
theatres.
According
to
trade
experts,
Tamil
star
Ajith's,
Yennai
Arindhaal's
release
is
the
reason
for
such
a
low
response
to
Shamitabh
in
theatres.
Anyways
it
has
over
a
weeks'
time
to
pick
up
the
collections.
The
movie
has
grossed
Rs
5
crores
on
Sunday
bringing
the
total
first
weekend
collection
to
just
a
meager
Rs
13.25
crores
at
the
domestic
market.
