NH10 had a noteworthy second weekend in North American theaters. From March 20-22, 2015, NH10 earned another $76,122 from 36 theaters ($2,115 average), bringing its total earnings in the United States and Canada to $258,993.
What’s significant about NH10‘s performance is that its second-weekend business only dropped 47% from its opening weekend. It’s the only Hindi film released in 2015 to retain more than half its business from Week 1 to Week 2 (and from ten fewer theaters). Here’s how much business fell from Week 1 to Week 2 for other Bollywood movies released this year:
- Badlapur: 61%
- Baby: 62%
- Dolly Ki Doli: 80%
- Roy: 88%
- Shamitabh: 89%
- Tevar: 94%
- Hawaizaada: 99%
That’s a good sign for NH10, especially since it’s unlikely to have any new competition in theaters this coming weekend.
Badlapur carried over for a fifth weekend on one U.S. screen, from which it earned $322. That brings its North American total to $419,836.
