Abhishek’s Players collects Rs 21.75 crs at Box Office in first week


Abhishek Bachchan starrer movie Players, which opened to a colossal disappointment at the Box Office in India, has earned Rs 21.75 crores net at the collection centres in the first week. With this, the multi-starrer film has posed a threat of suffering heavy losses to the producer.

The big budget movie Players, which was expected to debut with a huge collection at the Box Office, registered 20% to 30% occupancy on the opening day. The film earned Rs 15 crores net in the first weekend. Its business fell sharply on weekdays and it added another Rs 6.75 crores net to its total gross Rs 21.75 crores net.

However, Players, which is produced by Viacom18 Motion Pictures and Burmawala Bros, had created lot of curiosity among the movie buffs before its release. But the film has been rejected outright. Since there are no big releases this week, it should be seen whether the movie will recover its loss at the Box Office or not.
