Kill Stumbles in Day 2, Reliance on Weekdays
Kill, directed by Nikhil Nagesh Bhat, earned an additional Rs 95 lakh on its second day, bringing its total box office collections to Rs 2.25 crore nett. The action flick now stands at Rs 3.55 crore after two days and projects an opening weekend gross of Rs 6-6.25 crore.
Kill's success hinges on its weekday performance and second week. It will need to equal its opening day figures on day 4 to maintain momentum.
Despite ranking as the second most popular Hindi film behind Kalki 2898 AD, Kill's collections felt the impact of the latter's strong hold during its second weekend. While comparisons are not warranted given their disparate budgets and recovery models, the performance of an established film like Kalki 2898 AD demonstrates its ability to impact new releases.
Stronger North American Debut
Kill saw relatively better results in North America and anticipates a broader international release. Its niche content caters to a dedicated audience, and their continued support can determine the film's ultimate success.
Synopsis of Kill
