As reported earlier today, Rocky aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani showed robust staying power on weekdays last week internationally, grossing USD 7 million over the course of its first week. Now in the second week, the film is posting some sensational numbers on Friday.

In Australia, RARKPK grossed AUD 91,000 today on its second Friday against AUD 112,000 last week. This marks a drop of just 20 per cent from last week and that’s despite losing 40 per cent of locations in the second week. This is a failure on the distribution front. The film had limited showcasing in the first week but was recording high occupancies. Last weekend it had the third-highest per-screen average in top ten films with AUD 4,867. Typically, such scenarios lead to improved screenings in the second week, but here the film actually lost screening in most key locations. Despite these setbacks, the film has admirably overcome these hurdles. Notably, advance sales for tomorrow are astonishing, although the number of available showings remains disappointingly low.

On the other side of the globe, in North America, the day has started just 10 per cent below last week, once again, despite losing a large chunk of screens in the second week. If it was a case of normal showcasing today would be looking to gross USD 400,000 plus vs USD 462,000 last week but now it needs to be seen, if the film can get over the screening constraints. Even if it come around USD 350,000 that will be an incredible hold.

Second Friday vs First Friday for Rocky aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani in some territories is as follows:

Australia
Friday: AUD 112,000
2nd Friday: AUD 90,000 (-20%)

Singapore
Friday: S$20,000 approx
2nd Friday: S$28,000 approx (+40%)

North America
Friday: USD 462,000
2nd Friday: USD 400,000 expected (-13%)
