New Delhi:
Jaat box office collection day 1: Sunny Deol’s latest action film Jat was released on Thursday and it performed better than Salman Khan’s film Alexander. Jat was much higher than the first day earnings. However, according to a Pan-India film, these figures are still looking a bit weak, because the weak phase of Hindi films continues at the box office. But it is expected that Jat’s earnings can go up in the coming days.

According to industry tracker Caikanilk, Sunny Deol’s film has earned around Rs 8.51 crore on the first day of its release. It is a live data of secondary, which can change. The final figure will be revealed only after the night show. Jat’s advance booking ended on Wednesday night. It had pre-cells worth Rs 2.37 crore for the first day. Although the first day’s earnings were three times more than advance booking, it is less than Sunny Deol’s previous film Gadar 2, which earned Rs 17.60 crore in pre-cells alone.

On the other hand, Jat achieved 12.89% Occupancy among the Hindi audience on the first day, which is much better than Salman Khan’s film Alexander. Because Alexander got only 8.93% Occupancy in Hindi on Thursday. However, it was Alexander’s 12th day at the box office. Jat had the highest number of 1,442 shows in Delhi, followed by 982 shows in Mumbai and 666 shows in Ahmedabad. Chennai had the highest 28.50% occupancy in Chennai, as there were only 15 shows.
