IB 71 Box Office: The film sees best hold for a Vidyut Jammwal starrer in his decade long career as a leading man since Commando

Now that’s one feat that could well have gone unnoticed, if not for the decent holds that it has been maintaining ever since the second week. Believe it or not but IB 71 has actually seen the best collections for a Vidyut Jammwal starrer from second week onwards. For an actor who was first seen as a leading man a decade back with Commando (2013), Vidyut is playing a nice little box office cameo with IB 71 which is set to see a respectable lifetime for itself.

How is that happening? Well, after its first week of Rs. 11.01 crores, the film went on to net Rs. 5.44 crores in the second week and now even in the third week, it has already brought in around Rs. 2.25 crores* more in 4 days, which means it’s looking at a finish of over Rs. 3 crores. Now that would mean a drop of less than 50% compared to the second week.

Let’s take a look at how his other films have fared in their first week and then added more before ending their theatrical runs:

IB 71

First week – Rs. 11.01 crores

Subsequent weeks – Rs. 7.84 crores* (so far)

Lifetime Total – Rs. 18.85 crores* (so far)

Commando

First week – Rs. 17.50 crores

Subsequent weeks – Rs. 3.97 crores

Lifetime Total – Rs. 21.47 crores

Junglee

First week – Rs. 21.20 crores

Subsequent weeks – Rs. 3.23 crores

Lifetime Total – Rs. 24.43 crores

Commando 3

First week – Rs. 29.24 crores

Subsequent weeks – Rs. 3.23 crores

Lifetime Total – Rs. 32.47 crores

Commando 2

First week – Rs. 23.09 crores

Subsequent weeks – Rs. 2 crores

Lifetime Total – Rs. 25.09 crores

Of course, IB 71 is playing on the lower side and other films has done well on the basis of the initials. However, if one looks at absolute numbers, the collections which IB 71 has earned since first week are highest ever for Vidyut Jammwal, as they stand at Rs. 7.84 crores*. The next best is actually his first major release as a hero, Commando, which stands at Rs. 3.97 crores, which shows how well is IB 71 holding up purely on the basis of positive word of mouth.

*Estimates. Final numbers awaited

Note: All collections as per production and distribution sources
