Last
week,
after
a
long
wait,
Ajay
Devgn-Amitabh
Bachchan
starrer
Runway
34
and
Tiger
Shroff-Tara
Sutaria's
Heropanti
2
arrived
in
cinema
halls
amid
the
KGF
Chapter
2
wave.
Both
the
movies
began
its
journey
at
the
box
office
on
an
underwhelming
note.
Speaking
about
Ajay
Devgn's
Runway
34,
the
mid-air
thriller
minted
an
estimate
of
around
Rs
3.50
Crore
on
its
opening
day.
However,
a
positive
word
of
mouth
helped
its
business
to
grow
over
the
weekend.
Early
trends
suggest
that
the
film
minted
about
an
estimated
box
office
collection
of
Rs
5.25
Crore
and
Rs
7.25
Crore
on
Saturday
and
Sunday
respectively.
Thus,
the
Ajay
Devgn-starrer
has
collected
an
estimated
opening
weekend
of
Rs
16
Crore.
On
the
other
hand,
Tiger
Shroff's
action
entertainer
Heropanti
2
had
a
slight
edge
over
Runway
34
on
its
first
day
of
release
owing
to
bulk
corporate
bulking
as
it
minted
Rs
7
Crore.
However,
the
film's
collections
dipped
over
the
weekend
owing
to
poor
reviews
and
negative
word
of
mouth.
The
film
went
on
to
collect
Rs
5.50
Crore
and
Rs
4.25
Crore
on
Saturday
and
Sunday
respectively.
The
total
three-day
box
office
collection
now
stands
at
Rs
16.75
Crore
(estimated).

his

handle

Meanwhile,
the
lackluster
performances
of
Runway
34
and
Heropanti
2
has
helped
Yash's
KGF
Chapter
2
to
rule
over
the
box
office.
The
Prashanth
Neel
directorial
is
still
having
a
strong
hold
at
the
ticket
counters.
The
film
has
already
crossed
Rs
1000
Crore-mark
worldwide.
It's
the
only
fourth
Indian
movie
to
achieve
this
feat
after
Dangal,
Baahubali
2
and
RRR.
The
Hindi
version
alone
of
KGF
Chapter
2
has
crossed
Rs
350-Crore
mark.
KGF
Chapter
2
(Hindi)
witnessed
a
big
jump
in
its
box
office
figures
on
Saturday
and
Sunday
in
its
Week
3.
The
total
box
office
number
now
stands
at
around
Rs
370
to
372
Crore.
