Bollywood industry's Sources have stated that after seven days of release the box office collection for 'Tubelight' hit the magic 100 crores, but distributers who were expecting a lot more from the Salman Khan featuring in were left disappointed. Being called one of the biggest debacles after Salman Khan’s 'Wanted', trade experts believe that 'Tubelight' despite its 100 crore turnover, its collections were expected to be a lot higher.
Meanwhile when considering how Salman Khan’s movies do on Eid, distributors paid large sums of money for the movie’s theatrical rights, making 'Tubelight' an average revenue earner one that won’t help them make a profit. They were expecting the film to do an overall box office business of Rs 300 to 350 crore so that they can make profit”.
Sources have stated that people who invested in the film are likely to
lose a sizeable amount of money. Moreover it was stated that the “Distributors
who have bought the film’s theatrical rights have lost some money. They can
lose around Rs 50 to 70 crore on the film".
