Toilet Ek Prem Katha First Day Collection: Occupancy Report
Morning Shows Occupancy Report
Released on 3000 screens, the movie recorded 20% to 25% occupancy in the morning shows. This is a slow start as the expectations were large and the movie has created good pre-release buzz. The film has opened better than Akshay Kumar’s last release Jolly LLB 2 in places like Rajasthan and Gujarat. But the collections are lower than that film in the metros like Mumbai, New Delhi, Kolkata and Pune.
Multiplexes were always expected to be low as the film has a rural subject. Single screens are yet to start and it remains to be seen, how the movie performs in the mass centres. There are good chances that the movie will show growth in the small and mass centres.

Toilet Ek Prem Katha first day collection: official numbers
As per official numbers shared by Taran Adarsh, Toilet Ek Prem Katha first day collection is 13.1 crores. This is Akshay Kumar’s 9th highest opening day grosser. Talking about the films of 2017, TEPK is the 6th highest opening day grosser of 2017 after Bahubali 2, Raees, Jab Harry Met Sejal, Jolly LLB 2 and Tubelight.
TEPK has been made on a controlled budget of 35 crores including the promotion and advertising cost. As per the reports, the domestic distribution rights were sold for 53 crores. While the makers have made a huge profit before release, the movie needs to cross 100 crores to be a safe bet for the distributors. A healthy first weekend is required to enter the 100 crore club and Akshay Kumar fans would be hoping for the same.
