UI Movie box office collection day 15: UI, starring Upendra, hit the screens on December 20 and opened to a good response at the Indian box office despite receiving mixed reviews. The film then witnessed a drop in collections on the weekdays but managed to put up decent numbers nonetheless.
UI also held its own against Max, which opened in theatres on December 25 and impressed the masses with its intense action scene. Now, nearly two weeks after its release, Upendra¡¯s film is on its last legs and has already been removed from most centres.
UI¡¯s run is set to end soon
The Upendra-fronted UI made a good impact at the domestic box office in its first few days despite not really being everyone¡¯s cup of tea. The mixed word-of-mouth and competition for Kiccha Sudeep¡¯s Max affected its performance in the second week and prevented it from reaching its potential. Now, UI¡¯s run in theatres is almost over.
Manobala Vijayabalan, a trade analyst, told India Times that the Kannada film has been removed from theatres in most areas. He further added that it netted merely Rs 16 lakh from the theatres where it is still being screened.
Here is the day-wise report for UI:
Day 1: Rs 6.95 crore
Day 2: Rs 5.6 crore
Day 3: Rs 5.95 crore
Day 4: Rs 2.35 crore
Day 5: Rs 2.10 crore
