Ittefaq has had a low first week of 21.50 crore nett and the trend is not so encouraging also to suggest a strong second week hold. The numbers of the film are very similar to Phillauri (21.17 crore nett) and Mom (20.68 crore nett) and the former did 25 crore nett while the later grossed 31 crore nett. The 30 crore nett number looks a tall order for Ittefaq.

The film was a remake of Ittefaq (1969) which proved successful on the strength of star power alone despite being a flat film but there is no such luck here and its unlikely the film will last too long at the theaters. The business in Overseas is a little better and should cross $2 million (12.50 crore).

Thor - Ragnarok is a HIT as it grossed 40 crore nett in its first week. It took a strong start and has held on to collections pretty well and should do reasonable business in the second week. Hollywood has seen four HIT films this year and the apprx first week collections are as follows. The collections are like for like and for seven days only.

1. Fast & Furious 8 - 62 crore

2. Spiderman :The Homecoming - 43 crore

3. Thor : Ragnarok - 40 crore

4. Annabelle Creation - 33 crore

As can be seen from the above Thor - Ragnarok is pretty close to Spiderman - The Homecoming despite Spiderman being a much bigger brand in India.

There were seven other Hindi releases last week like Humein haq Barsati Gangs, Chahiye Haq Se, Kutumb - The Family, Narayan Ram Ratan, Reserve - A - Nation and Ribbon and the all bit the dust with the last named Ribbon having the best collections at 50 lakhs nett apprx.
