New Delhi: Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi's Jolly LLB 3 opened to positive reviews. The film, which packed a solid number over the weekend, has faced the Monday brunt.
Breaking Down the Box Office Numbers
On Monday, the film's total registered a single-digit figure—₹5.50 crore—taking the total to ₹59 crore.
Over the weekend, the film minted ₹41 crore in total.
The film registered a decent opening with ₹12.5 crore, as per Sacnilk.
Praising the film's weekend performance, trade analyst Taran Adarsh wrote, "#JollyLLB3 posts an excellent total in its opening weekend, with Saturday and Sunday in particular placing the film in a strong position.
"While Sunday's business could have been higher, collections were impacted by the #INDvPAK cricket match [from evening onwards].
The film now needs to deliver solid numbers on weekdays, starting Monday... The absence of major releases until 2 Oct—when #KantaraChapter1 and #SunnySanskariKiTulsiKumari arrive—works to its advantage."
