Attack box office: John Abraham-starrer struggles on opening weekend

John Abraham-starrer action flick Attack is struggling to find its footing at the box office amid the Telugu blockbuster RRR craze. The film had a lackluster opening on Friday and logged less than satisfying numbers over the weekend. The film is facing stiff competition from RRR and Vivek Agnihotri’s The Kashmir Files.

The film raked in total Rs 11.51 crore at the domestic box office as on Sunday. Attack garnered Rs 3.51 crore on Friday, Rs 3.75 crore on Saturday and saw a marginal recovery with Rs 4.25 crore on Sunday, as per film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh.

Adarsh tweeted, “Attack is below the mark… No major growth/jump on day 2 and 3 is disappointing… The RRR wave has also impacted prospects in mass sectors… Friday 3.51 crore, Saturday 3.75 crore, Sunday 4.25 crore. Total: Rs 11.51 crore. India business.”

Film trade analyst Sumit Kadel said that Attack had a “disastrous trending at the box office.”
