The Vijay Deverakonda – Ananya Panday starrer Liger released on Friday, however despite the hype and promotions the film has received a mixed response from the audience. Similarly, at the box office, Liger has been seeing immense turmoil in terms of collections. With certain territories reporting a day-on-day increase in business others have been seeing a gradual decline.
In this box office report, we look at the performance of Liger in the overseas markets of Australia and New Zealand. In the overseas market of Australia Liger which saw a nearly 61% drop in business on its second day has continued to see a decline. In fact, the film managed to draw in USD 15,156 [Rs. 12.12 lakhs] from 55 screens on its first Saturday. Not surprisingly, compared to its second-day business the collections of Liger have seen a further drop of around 30%.
On the other hand, in the overseas market of New Zealand, the business of Liger has seen a marginal upward trend. After collecting USD 3,307 [Rs. 2.64 lakhs] and USD 4,573 [Rs. 3.65 lakhs] on its first and second day, the business of Liger has seen further growth with USD 6,663 [Rs. 5.32 lakhs] more coming in from 23 screens on day three, which is a 45% increase in collections since its second day.
Going forward, with the audience remaining undecided about Liger, the business of the film will continue to remain in flux. While certain markets are expected to see further growth, in others the film will face a tough time. However, trade remains optimistic stating that Liger will manage to post good box office collection figures over its opening weekend.
