It was a tough day for most of the films at the box office as Indian audiences were glued to their TV sets and the reason was obvious - India and Pakistan's cricket match at the ongoing Cricket World Cup. Both, Chris Hemsworth's MIB International and Tapsee Pannu's Game Over witnessed limited growth on the third day of their releases, reports Bollywood trade analyst Taran Adarsh. On Sunday, MIB International earned merely Rs 3.30 crore. Taapsee's thriller Game Over also witnessed a "limited growth" on Sunday due to the match and it earned Rs 2.04 crore.
MIB: International garnered Rs 3.30 crore on its opening day in India and it has managed to collect Rs 10.90 crore within 3 days of its release. Sharing the Hollywood film's box office report, Taran Adarsh tweeted: "Men In Black: International showed an upward trend on Day 2, but slipped on Day 3 due to IND vs PAK cricket match... Fri 3.40 cr, Sat 4.20 cr, Sun 3.30 cr. Total: Rs 10.90 cr. India biz."
