Housefull 2 took a good opening at multiplexes with collections in the 70-75% region on average. The advance of the film had been very slow till Thursday when it really picked up and Friday has seen a good opening though well short of films like Agneepath and Bodyguard as they were released on Republic Day and Eid respectively and were action films.<\/p>\n
The best opening came in North India, Gujarat, Rajasthan and CI where collections were 80% while Mumbai city, Maharashtra and South were more towards the 60-70% mark. In Punjab it took an excellent 80% start despite a volcano in the form of Punjabi film Mirza – The Untold Story hitting the state with over capacity houses. <\/p>\n
Some centres in the North opened to 100% while there were some centres in the South which were less than 50%. Basically its good to very good opening in the core Hindi film circuits and a good to decent opening elsewhere. The single screen opening which gets going at noon should also be similar to the opening at multiplexes.<\/p>\n
