Rajinikanth's 2.0 released yesterday and has been getting a good response from fans. They are loving it. The Chennai numbers have been incredibly good and are also the all-time highest opening day number, beating Vijay's Sarkar. But the Hindi version of the film fetched Rs 20.25 crore which is lower than many releases this year. 2.0 is a non-holiday release and considering that the numbers aren't bad. 2018 has seen the victory of non-holiday releases over the festival releases. Sanju, the highest grossing film of this year, saw a June 29 release which wasn't a holiday. In the end, audience today is picking content which has been interestingly put in a film. 2.0 got mixed reviews and guess that affected its numbers so much so that Satyameva Jayate, Baaghi 2 and even Akshay Kumar's Gold had better opening day numbers than this film.
The reason we have picked Satyameva Jayate and Gold here is that these had clashed last Independence Day. That meant the screens got divided between them and yet both had excelled at the box office. Despite that, while Gold earned Rs 25.25 and became Akshay's biggest opener, SJ bagged a decent Rs 20.67 crore on the first day. 2.0 got 4000 screens but the first day numbers still couldn't beat that.
Now coming to Baaghi 2, the reason the film finds a place in this tally is that it's a Tiger Shroff film, who is a newcomer in comparison to Rajinikanth. And his film saw one of the highest opening days of 2018, with Rs 25.10 crore. Mind you... it just had 3500 screens!
