Fighter Box Office Collection Day 2: Despite A Jump Hrithik-Deepika Starrer Is Nowhere Near To SRK's Pathaan

Fighter Box Office Collection Day 2: Pathaan and Fighter have multiple things in common like director Siddharth Anand, female lead Deepika Padukone, same release date, holiday weekend, and patriotism as the basic theme. Well, Fighter content wise is clearly much better than Pathaan, but if we look at first two days collection, then the Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone starrer is nowhere near to Shah Rukh Khan's film.

Pathaan on a non-holiday, 25th January, had taken an opening of Rs. 55 crore (Hindi), while Fighter took an opening of Rs. 22.50 crore. If we talk about the second day, which was a National Holiday (26th January), last year Shah Rukh Khan starrer had minted Rs. 68 crore (Hindi), and this year, Hrithik Rosan and Deepika Padukone starrer has collected Rs. 39.50. So, in two days, Pathaan had crossed 100 crore with a collection of Rs. 123 crore, and Fighter's two-day collection is Rs. 62 crore which is like half of what Pathaan did.

After a huge jump on Republic Day, Fighter has drop a bit today. While the morning occupancy yesterday was of around 47% (3D and 2D both), today's morning occupancy is around 35% (3D and 2D both). So, there's a drop of around 12%. On its third day, Pathaan had also dropped, but still it collected Rs. 39.25 crore which is actually what Fighter collected on its second day (National Holiday).

Will Fighter Enter The 100 Crore Club Today?

Today, if the film continues to do well in the afternoon and evening shows, we can expect a collection of around Rs. 30 crore. However, it looks difficult that Fighter will cross 100 crore today. For now, it looks like the movie is heading for around Rs. 120 crore extended weekend. But, it all depends on how the film performs during the weekdays and if it passes the Monday test.

Well, if we compare Pathaan and Fighter's collection, it clearly proves that the stardom of Shah Rukh Khan worked in the favour of the former.
