Fighter is now doing some good business at major multiplexes of the country. Since the film is very urban centric, the footfalls are in accordance to that as well and that was apparent on Saturday as well. Especially at IMAX and 4DX properties, which attract a far more premium crowd, the shows were showing good occupancy, though the situation was a bit divided between 3D and 2D screens. This too was primarily the scenario at key properties across the country.
That said, the fact that there has been very good growth over Friday numbers goes on to show that the film hasn't been rejected per se but it's just that the target audience is now at key urban centres. Those who have watched it are liking it; it's just that the horde of mass audiences which was expected to visit it in the first place didn’t come and that’s what impacted the weekdays.
No wonder, the collections which have moved from Rs. 5.50 crores on Friday to Rs. 10 crores on Saturday are good and all eyes are on how much further than Rs. 10 crores will Sunday turn out to be. For a huge jump to happen again, it's the masses which need to come in big numbers on Sunday and in case of Fighter, the patronage is primarily coming from the class segment. The total of the film has now reached Rs. 155 crores and while Rs. 175 crores will be easily crossed by the close of weekend, it would be interesting to see if Rs. 180 crores mark is somehow surpassed as well.
