After a big crash on its fourth day (Monday), there was some respite for Jolly LLB 3 on Day 5 (Tuesday) as the film recorded a slight jump in collections. While the increase in collections doesn't compensate for the heavy fall on Monday, Tuesday's collections of Rs 6.50 crore nett meant that the film hasn't collapsed completely, as was initially felt on seeing the Monday trends.
On its sixth day (Wednesday) in India, Jolly LLB 3 has taken a slow start across the country and the morning shows have recorded lower occupancy levels when compared to Tuesday and Monday. It isn't entirely unexpected, as the collections do tend to drop mid-week for any film unless the word-of-mouth is exceptionally good. For Jolly LLB 3, the film does have reasonably good word-of-mouth but it hasn't gotten universal acceptance across the board in India. The opening weekend of Rs 52 crore nett was good start for a content-oriented film, although it could certainly have been better, given that the first two films of this franchise were well-loved films amongst the public.
Jolly LLB 3 started with roughly 6-7 percent occupancy in the morning shows on Day 6 and the noon shows haven't shown a lot of growth with the occupancy levels coming to 10-11 percent. The same shows on Tuesday were 10-11 percent and 21-22 percent respectively. However, Monday's trend was similar to how it has started on Day 6, so a collection range of around Rs 4.50-5 crore nett can be expected with the way the film has started in the morning shows. These numbers are underwhelming but at least, Jolly LLB 3 is trying to be stable, even if at lower levels.
The ideal scenario would be to have about Rs 3.50-4 crore nett on Thursday and then hope that the collections don't drop much at all on Friday. Thereafter, the optimism would be to see a jump across the weekend, although a huge jump like the first weekend seems improbable. The film looks set to avoid the flop status but is unlikely to emerge a clean hit at the box office.
The six-day box office collections of Jolly LLB 3 in India are approximately Rs 67 crore nett.
