ABCD2 records highest opening day collection

ABCD 2 which hit the screens on Friday has grossed the highest opening day collection in the domestic market in 2015 so far. The dance drama, which pairs Varun with Shraddha Kapoor for the first time, raked in Rs 14.3 crore on day one, breaking the record of Akshay Kumar's 'Gabbar Is Back'. Akshay’s film, with a domestic day-one haul of Rs 13.05 crore, was holding the first-day record for 2015 till now. 

The occupancy rate in most shows all over India has been around 50 per cent, which again is the highest on day one for any Bollywood film this year. Interestingly, ABCD 2 was released across just 2,500 screens, far lesser than the average screen count of around 4,000 that films flaunting top stars normally get. 

The film opened to mixed reviews on June 19. In two days, the film has earned Rs. 28.81 cr. The film collected Rs. 14.30 cr on Friday and Rs. 14.51 cr on Saturday. 

ABCD 2 is the sequel to ABCD: Any Body Can Dance, which was also a hit in 2013. The film is based on the story of 'Fictitious Dance Group'. ABCD 2 has been lavishly shot in Mumbai and Las Vegas, riding a budget of around Rs 89 crore.
