India's Most Wanted box office collection day 3: Arjun Kapoor starrer India's Most Wanted has bombed at the box office, earning less than Rs 10 crore in its opening weekend. The film had opened to a low occupancy on Friday, raking in just Rs 2.10 crore on day 1 and even though it picked up over the next days, the growth remained low. It earned just Rs 3.53 crore on Sunday, a relatively low figure for the weekend, taking its opening weekend collection to Rs 8.66 crore. The movie lovers opted for Hollywood flick Aladdin which dominated the box office instead.

Movie critic and business analyst tweeted on Monday morning, "#IndiasMostWanted witnessed growth over the weekend, but not substantial enough... The 3-day total, thus, remains below the mark... Fri 2.10 cr, Sat 3.03 cr, Sun 3.53 cr. Total: ₹ 8.66 cr. India biz. #IMW"

The other Indian release of the week PM Narendra Modi, on the other hand, performed better than India's Most Wanted, minting Rs 11.76 crore in the opening weekend. The movie can reach a satisfactory total if it continues to do well during the weekdays. "#PMNarendraModi showed positive trending across the weekend... Biz on Day 3 gave the much-required push... Weekdays crucial, since it needs to maintain the momentum for a satisfactory total... Fri 2.88 cr, Sat 3.76 cr, Sun 5.12 cr. Total: ₹ 11.76 cr. India biz," Adarsh tweeted. 

Aladdin, meanwhile, performed far better than the two Indian films, earning Rs 18.50 crore within three days. 

"#Aladdin emerges the first choice of moviegoers... Biz jumps on Day 3 [vis-à-vis Day 1]... Fares much better than the two #Hindi releases... Needs to maintain the pace on weekdays... Fri 4.25 cr, Sat 6.50 cr, Sun 7.75 cr. Total: ₹ 18.50 cr Nett BOC. India biz. Gross: ₹ 22.03 cr," Adarsh said.

All the new releases were challenged by last week's big release - De De Pyaar De which has now crossed Rs 75 crore mark.

"#DeDePyaarDe crosses ₹ 75 cr... Does pretty well in Weekend 2... Enjoys steady run at metros and Tier-2 cities... Not strong in mass circuits... [Week 2] Fri 3.58 cr, Sat 4.78 cr, Sun 5.68 cr. Total: ₹ 75.09 cr. India biz. #DDPD," Adarsh tweeted. The film collected Rs 14.04 crore in its second weekend.
