Despite Having Limited Screens ‘Newton’ Is Ruling The Box Office

This week movies like ‘Bhoomi’, ‘Haseena Parkar’ and ‘Newton’ got released at the Box Office. It was expected that Sanjay Dutt’s comeback film ‘Bhoomi’ and Shraddha Kapoor starrer ‘Haseena Parkar’ will have a good run at the Box Office but that didn’t happen. On the day of the release of these movies, it was announced that Rajkummar Rao starrer ‘Newton’ is India’s official entry for Oscars and that helped this movie. ‘Newton’ started with 90 lakhs on the first day, which is still much considering the screens, which is 450 for this movie but the second day it took a leap and earned 2.52 crores, which is huge, probably the best Box Office number in a long time. On the other hand, ‘Bhoomi’, which was considered to be the biggest film of the week opened with 2.25 crores on Friday and 2.47 crores on Saturday, which is less than ‘Newton’. On Sunday, ‘Newton’s number got even better, it earned 3.42 crores and ‘Bhoomi’ earned 2.76 crores. Now, this shows that our Industry is changing slowly. ‘Newton’ released in just 450 screens and now it has earned 6.9 crores. The producers if the movie must be happy after watching the success of this film. When the trailer of the movie was released, it was for sure that the movie will impress the critics and will have good reviews but after the announcement that it has been selected for the Oscars, the movie got an amazing response from the audience. If this movie would have released in around 1000 screens the things will be even bigger. Let’s see whether ‘Newton’ makes it to the final five or not.
