Shaitaan, the supernatural horror flick starring Ajay Devgn, R Madhavan, and Jyothika, hit a milestone globally by entering the $12 million club. However, its latest box office collection on day 7 marks a significant downturn. The film has recorded its lowest earnings yet on Thursday. Let’s look at the recent developments surrounding this Vikas Bahl directorial.
Shaitaan collection day 7: Ajay Devgn’s movie earns $692K
Since its theatrical debut on March 8, 2024, Shaitaan has been making waves with its eerie storyline and brilliant performances. The movie kicked off its box office journey with a bang, raking in an impressive $1.7 million on its opening day. Its momentum continued unabated, with earnings soaring to $2.2 million on the second day. In addition, it garnered a staggering $2.4 million on the third day, making it a triumphant opening weekend.
However, as the days progressed, Shaitaan encountered a slight decline in its earnings. It culminated in its recent box-office collection of $692K on day seven. Despite this dip, the film’s total domestic earnings stand strong at $9.6 million, justifying its enduring appeal among audiences.
Moreover, the movie has managed to maintain a respectable overall occupancy rate of 12.68 percent. In key metropolitan areas such as Mumbai and Delhi-NCR, the occupancy rates mirrored each other at 14 percent, highlighting a consistent level of interest among viewers.
Chennai, with a comparatively lower number of shows, showcased a slightly higher occupancy rate of 18.25 percent. Overall, this indicates a strong regional appeal for the horror genre.
While Shaitaan basks in its current success, looming competition awaits on the horizon. The release of Yodha, featuring Sidharth Malhotra and Disha Patani, poses a potential challenge to Shaitaan’s smooth box office sailing.
So fans must wait and watch whether the Ajay Devgn-starrer can withstand the latest release. Shaitaan and Yodha are currently playing in your nearby theaters.
