DC box office Day 6: Lokesh Kanagaraj's film holds steady after Rs 50-crore haul
Director Arun Matheswaran's DC, starring Lokesh Kanagaraj and Wamiqa Gabbi, earned Rs 5 crore nett in India on its sixth day. The steady weekday hold keeps the film close to the Rs 60-crore worldwide mark.
Director Arun Matheswaran's DC, featuring Lokesh Kanagraj and Wamiqa Gabbi, continued its steady theatrical run on Wednesday, earning Rs 5 crore India nett (gross minus taxes) on Day 6 and taking its worldwide gross collection to Rs 58.62 crore. The action drama recorded a relatively small drop from its fifth-day collection, suggesting that positive word-of-mouth is helping the film hold up during the weekdays.
According to trade website Sacnilk, DC earned Rs 5 crore nett in India on Day 6, compared with Rs 5.55 crore on Day 5. This amounts to a drop of around 9.9 per cent from Monday's collection.
With the latest addition, DC's India nett collection has reached Rs 37.50 crore. Its India gross collection currently stands at Rs 43.12 crore. The film recorded 4,715 shows across its Tamil, Telugu and Hindi versions on Wednesday.
How did the Tamil, Telugu and Hindi versions fare?
The Tamil version remained the biggest contributor, earning Rs 3.40 crore nett on Day 6. It recorded an overall occupancy of 32.65 per cent. Morning shows registered 21.31 per cent occupancy, while afternoon and evening shows recorded 32 per cent and 28 per cent, respectively. Night shows performed the best, with an occupancy of 44.69 per cent.
The Telugu version collected Rs 1.40 crore nett on Day 6 and recorded an overall occupancy of 21.81 per cent. Morning shows registered 16.70 per cent occupancy, followed by 21.80 per cent in the afternoon and 18.10 per cent in the evening. Night shows once again recorded the strongest occupancy at 29.30 per cent.
The Hindi version contributed Rs 20 lakh to the day's collection. It recorded an overall occupancy of 9.38 per cent, with morning shows at 7.67 per cent, afternoon shows at 9.17 per cent and evening shows at 9.58 per cent. Night occupancy stood at 7.42 per cent.
DC worldwide collection nears Rs 60 crore
DC also continued to earn from overseas markets, where it added an estimated Rs 1 crore gross on Day 6. Its cumulative overseas gross collection has now reached Rs 15.50 crore.
The film's India gross stands at Rs 43.12 crore, while its overseas gross is Rs 15.50 crore. Together, the film has earned Rs 58.62 crore worldwide so far.
The weekday hold comes after DC earned Rs 6 crore on Day 4 and Rs 5.55 crore on Day 5, according to the reported figures. The Day 6 decline is therefore relatively controlled, with the film remaining above the Rs 5-crore mark despite the usual weekday slowdown.
All about DC
Helmed by Arun Matheswaran, DC follows Devadas, played by Lokesh Kanagaraj, a man with a traumatised past who embarks on a quest for redemption and justice after taking revenge against those who hurt an innocent family. The film is a bloody and gory interpretation of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's Devdas. It also stars Wamiqa Gabbi, Sanjana Krishnamoorthy, Krish Dayal, Avinash Raghudevan and Thalaivasal Vijay, among others.
DC has received appreciation for its performances, direction and technical aspects, with Anirudh Ravichander's music emerging as one of the film's talking points. His score, particularly the Raaga of Revenge, has been praised for complementing the film's violent and emotionally charged world.
With DC now nearing the Rs 60-crore mark worldwide, its performance over the coming weekend will be crucial in determining how far the Arun Matheswaran directorial can stretch its theatrical run with Independence Day releases around the corner.
