Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone’s Fighter opened to mixed reviews but received unanimous appreciation for its technically fine visuals.
Fighter had an extremely slow day at the North American box office on Thursday, grossing $447,222 at 9 PM EST. This is very poor considering the scale and cast of the film.
Friday and the weekend should show a big jump to post respectable numbers in the North America region; we will have a clear picture by tomorrow (Friday) evening New York time.
When it comes to India, Fighter took a moderate start around 21 crore, which is low for a biggie but not a disastrous start.
Friday is a Republic Day holiday, and followed by the weekend, we should see a jump for the film to get its feet at the box office.
Fighter once again highlights how crucial it is to generate pre-release hype with songs and a blasting trailer to fire the bookings, but Fighter failed on every aspect of it. The hope is now on the weekend.
