A film is expected to do well at the box office if it is able to earn at least 10 per cent of the budget it was made, on the opening day.

What determines a hit film? If a film needs to enter the ‘hit’ category, it has to earn at least 20 per cent of the cost on the first day. If it earns even 10 per cent of it, the film still has hopes to perform better over the weekend. 'Ek Villain Returns' earned just Rs 7.05 crore on the first day of release on Friday. According to the cost of the film, it should have earned at least Rs 8 crore, so that the film recovers its cost at the box office. The making and promotion and advertising cost of the film is around Rs 80 crore. Accordingly, the film 'Ek Villain Returns' has been out of the race of hits on the first day itself.
