Selfiee box office day 3: Akshay Kumar film posts disastrously low collection in first weekend.

Each of actor Akshay Kumar’s 2022 theatrical releases — Ram Setu, Raksha Bandhan, Samrat Prithviraj, Bachchhan Paandey — tanked at the box office, but at least they had solid openings. However, the same cannot be said of the actor’s latest film, Selfiee. The film had a poorer start than last week’s flop, Kartik Aaryan’s Shehzada, on its first Friday. The Kartik Aaryan film earned Rs 6 crore on its first day of release.

As per trade analyst Taran Adarsh, Selfiee, also starring Emraan Hashmi, managed to earn only Rs 2.55 crore at the ticket counters on its opening day. Industry tracker Sacnilk said that the film registered overall occupancy of only 9.95%. The figure is even lower than what trade experts had conservatively predicted ahead of the film’s release. Film producer and trade analyst, Girish Johar, had predicted that the film’s opening day collection would fall somewhere between Rs 4 crore and 5 crore. The last time that an Akshay Kumar film had an opening of less than Rs 5 cr was in 2010. His film OMG Oh My God! earned Rs 4.25 cr on the first day of its release.
