Don 2 Takes Fair To Good Opening At Box-Office

- December 23, 2011 | 1:41 PM IST

Shah Rukh Khan’s Don 2, which released in India on December 23, 2011, opened to good houses at places but the initial at several other places was quite ordinary.

The territories that reported the best start were Delhi-U.P. and Rajasthan. Collections in cinemas of Bombay circuit were, surprisingly, below the mark in the first show. Even in cinemas of C.P. Berar circuit, collections were robust in some cinemas whereas they were not very exciting in the others. For instance, at Rajlaxmi cinema in Amravati, the film collected only Rs. 3,200 in the first (morning) show against a capacity of Rs. 25,000.

Most of the multiplexes in Ghaziabad and NOIDA in the north reported full houses in the morning show, at concessional admission rates.

Attendance (number of people) in some cinemas of Delhi-U.P. and East Punjab in the morning shows today (December 23) were as follows:
