Box office: 'Thank You For Coming' earns meager Rs. 1.06cr
After having a successful premiere at the 46th Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), Thank You For Coming hit the theaters on Friday (October 6). Expectations were high, but the film, headlined by Bhumi Pednekar, had a rocky start at the box office. According to reports, the movie earned a rather meager Rs. 1.06cr (nett) in India on its opening day. Here's the breakdown.
Why does this story matter?
Helmed by Karan Boolani, the chick flick clashed with Akshay Kumar's Mission Raniganj. That's not all. The buzz around Fukrey 3 is steadily climbing as it has earned an estimated Rs. 68.32cr in nine days, while the audience is still riding the Jawan wave. Amid this fierce competition, how Thank You For Coming makes its mark at the box office remains to be seen.
'TYFC' falls flat, manages to earn just Rs. 1cr
According to Sacnilk, the sex comedy TYFC managed to rake in a modest Rs. 1.06cr on its opening day, while its Hindi occupancy stood at 16.54%—not exactly a roaring start. On the other hand, Kumar's Mission Raniganj, directed by Tinu Suresh Desai, faced its own set of struggles. It collected a mere Rs. 2.8 crore on its first day, according to early estimates.

The film boasts a star-studded ensemble, including Pednekar, Shehnaaz Gill, Kusha Kapila, Shibani Bedi, and Dolly Singh.
