Pathaan is showing a solid hold on the 2nd Friday (Day 10) at the box office as morning and noon shows are coming in, although the occupancy level is in the single digit now. Occupancy drop is 40% around which is pretty good stuff considering 2nd Thursday business was simply fabulous.
Pathaan will be a good spike in occupancy for the evening and night shows and it means the overall occupancy drop for the day will be less than 40% for sure. Screens are reduced by around 20-25% for the second week. Despite that film is screened in around 4500 screens across India. Ticket prices are higher today as the weekend has arrived.
Pathaan collected 364 cr NBOC in the extended first week. The film is eyeing to go past the 400 cr NBOC by the end of the second weekend itself. 2nd Friday and 2nd Monday will give us a pretty clear idea of the lifetime business of Pathaan.
