Sky Force Box Office Collection
The action drama surpassed all expectations as it made a tremendous opening of 15.30 crores on day 1. There were huge discounts on BookMyShow, which lured cine-goers and made for a very successful strategy in improving footfalls. The word-of-mouth remained highly favorable, with another big boost on Saturday, with 26.30 crores coming in. The two-day total stands at 41.60 crores.
Sky Force is expected to grow further on Sunday. It is based on India’s first airstrike, making for a perfect Republic Day outing. The theme is sure to benefit and witness admissions in large numbers today. As per predictions, Akshay Kumar starrer could very well clock the 30 crore mark today.
Where will it stand among the highest Republic Day collections?
Bollywood has witnessed some humungous earnings on Republic Day, especially in the recent few years. Unfortunately, the top 5 highest January 26 collections do not feature any of Akshay Kumar movies. Hopefully, tables will be turned, and history will be recreated today.
Take a look at the top 5 Republic Day collections of all time in Bollywood below:
Sky Force has already minted earnings similar to Raees on its second day. It is expected to go beyond, which means it will compete against Padmaavat, which is at #3.
While Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan and Hrithik Roshan‘s Fighter will remain out of reach, it is to be seen whether Akshay Kumar’s film will be able to beat Padmaavat’s 32 crores.
