Karate Kid Legends sinks on first Monday
Jackie Chan is in the limelight because of his latest release Karate Kid Legends, which hit the screens in India amid fanfare on May 30. It took a decent start but then tanked on its first Monday. According to Sacnilk, a trade website, it earned Rs 77 lakh in India on June 2. The figure is nearly 69% lower than the Rs 2.35 crore it earned on Sunday (June 1).
Here is the day-wise breakdown:
Day 1: Rs 1.6 crore
Day 2: Rs 2.39 crore
Day 3: Rs 2.35 crore
Day 4: Rs 77 lakh.
The total collection stands at Rs 7.11 crore. Karate Kid Legends received mixed reviews with critics lauding the performances but panning the 'outdated' storyline. This is one of the main reasons, it wasn't able to sustain on Monday.
Interestingly, Karate Kid Legends has failed to match the performance of Thunderbolts. The Marvel Movie, which was released on a Thursday, earned Rs 1.18 crore on its first Monday. It went on to collect Rs 22 crore (approx) in its full run. The film had an edge over the new Karate Kid movie because of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's popularity in India. Moreover, its star Florence Pugh also enjoys a following among fans because of her work in Oppenheimer.
