Resident Evil continued its theatrical run with a noticeable recovery on Tuesday, with the horror film collecting Rs. 1.64 crore on Day 5. The latest business represents a 15.49% increase over its Rs. 1.42 crore collection on Monday and takes the film’s total India collection to Rs. 11.84 crore.
The film had opened its theatrical run on Friday with Rs. 2.18 crore. It then witnessed a strong 44.04% jump on Saturday, collecting Rs. 3.14 crore. Sunday saw a marginal 2.23% decline, with the film adding Rs. 3.07 crore. This took its opening weekend total to Rs. 8.78 crore.
The transition to the weekdays brought the expected slowdown. Monday saw the film’s collections fall by 53.75% to Rs. 1.42 crore. However, Tuesday brought a welcome reversal in the trend as business climbed back to Rs. 1.64 crore. The film also recorded 3,649 shows across 1,677 venues on Tuesday, with overall occupancy standing at 14.85%, according to Bollywood Hungama's box office data.
The Tuesday performance is significant because the film managed to improve its business despite being in the middle of its opening week. After the sharp Monday correction, a further decline could have put greater pressure on the film's weekday run. Instead, the increase has allowed Resident Evil to inch closer to the Rs. 12 crore mark.
With Rs. 11.84 crore already accumulated, the film is now just Rs. 0.16 crore away from crossing Rs. 12 crore. The focus will now shift to how steadily it can hold its collections through the remainder of the week and whether the Tuesday recovery can translate into sustained business.
