'Animal' Becomes First Film To Score Three Consecutive 50+ Crore Net In Hindi

Mumbai, December 3 - Animal becomes the first film in the history of Indian cinema to score three consecutive 50+ crores net collections in the Hindi language. No other film has done more than twice before and Animal has created history by doing this with lesser screens and an adult rating. ## Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga and starring Ranbir Kapoor, Animal scored 54.75 crores net on the first day in Hindi, followed by 58.37 crores on the second day. It is heading towards 64 crores net on its third day as per the early estimates, making the hat-trick of 50+ crores scores. ## Earlier, Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan hit a 50+ crores net collection in Hindi on two consecutive days and it did twice while his Jawan also did once. Pathaan currently has the highest 50+ crores days (4 days) in Hindi and it is likely to be the number 1 in this race for now. ## Aamir Khan's Thugs of Hindostan was the first movie to hit the 50 crore net mark and since then, there have been 17 such days and 13 of them have come this year. The fifty crores net mark, which used to be a hard nut to crack a few years back, has become a frequent milestone in Hindi. ## Stay tuned...

The first Sunday of the film is one of the best days of the year in terms of occupancy with an average of around 75% which is simply sensational. ## The Ranbir Kapoor-led action drama put up the opening weekend of 200+ crores net, after scoring an estimated 71+ crores net collection and can go up to 73 crores on Sunday/the third day. In Hindi, Animal scored an estimated 64-65 crores, taking the total to around 178 crores which is the second biggest opening weekend ever after Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan. ## The collections of Animal are truly historical and coming on almost par with Jawan despite the fewer screens and adult rating makes it bigger than anyone else. The Monday collection will give an idea of where the movie is heading but good advances for tomorrow indicate a smooth run during the weekdays and it is expected to post a huge first-week total. ## Meanwhile, Vicky Kaushal-starrer war biopic Sam Bahadur scores a good opening weekend keeping the big clash with Animal in mind. On the first Sunday, the film scored an estimated 10-10.50 crores net collection, pushing the total 3-day weekend collection to around 25.50 crores net. ## Sam Bahadur has done well in catering to its target audience which is mainly in the multiplex.
