Jolly LLB 3 box office collection day 1: Akshay Kumar, Arshad Warsi film opens at ₹12.5 crore; less than Jolly LLB 2

Jolly LLB 3 box office collection day 1: Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi's film has managed a double-digit opening, but just about.

Jolly LLB 3 box office collection: Arshad Warsi and Akshay Kumar's reunion may have been praised by critics, but it is not bearing the expected fruit at the box office. The film has taken a rather slow start on its opening day at the box office, with just 10% occupancy in the morning shows. However, positive word of mouth seems to have salvaged the remainder of the day, with footfalls increasing over subsequent shows.

Jolly LLB 3 box office update

Jolly LLB 3 collected ₹12.50 crore net in India on its opening day, according to film trade tracker Sacnilk. The film registered just 10.28% occupancy for its morning shows across the country. However, it increased to a healthier 17.46% for the afternoon shows. Further growth over the day meant that the film inched past the expected double-digit opening it truly needed. The courtroom drama managed to leave behind Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par, which opened at ₹10.20 crore earlier this year. However, it failed to surpass Jolly LLB 2, which had earned ₹13 crore on opening day back in 2017.

Jolly LLB 3 had a fair time in the pre-sales, collecting ₹3.23 crore gross for its opening day. Trade experts had initially predicted a ₹11-12-crore opening for the film based on early trends. The film has received positive reviews from critics and earned praise on social media as well, which is translating into positive word of mouth.
