Hyderabad:Vicky Kaushal, Triptii Dimri, and Ammy Virk starrer Bad Newz opened in theatres on Friday. On its second day at the box office, the Anand Tiwari directorial took in between Rs 10 crore in India. Since the movie is aimed at urban centres, the growth on day two should have been bigger, but it registered an increase of only around 20 percent.
It's not good news for the movie's long term business as some movie chains even saw a decline in receipts from opening day. After opening at Rs 8.3 crore and minting Rs 10 crore on its first Saturday, the two-day cume of Bad Newz stands at Rs 18.3 crore. With a typical growth of 50–60 percent, Bad Newz would have made over Rs 35 crore in a single weekend, but the film failed to meet expectations on its second day.
The Vicky Kaushal film may not have a good first-week haul if the Monday decline is below 50. It is because Deadpool and Wolverine, the upcoming worldwide box office juggernauts, will not give the film a chance to redeem itself. However, despite its decent business, Bad Newz has made Vicky Kaushal a marketable star who can lead his films to decent box office results.
