The following are some early figures for first major releases of holiday season: Kidnap and Drona.

In USA, Kidnap has scored a $25,000 opening day trailing the $33,000 opening day figure for Drona.

In India however, the Imran Khan-Sanjay Dutt starrer took about a 4.9 crore opening day nett compared to 3.2 crores for Drona. As reported on IBOS earlier, the opening ratio in India was about 1.5:1 with respect to the Imran Khan-Sanjay Dutt multistarrer and Abhishek Bachchan's solo release.

In Mumbai City, Kidnap opened best with 1 crore net to Drona's 60 lakhs. However both are dropping rapidly. At this pace, the opening week Mumbai city net collections from the two films look to be between 3-5 crores.

Drona had excellent opening in UP and Bihar and CP Berar whereas East Punjab was fairly good also.

Kidnap had best opening in Mumbai, Delhi and South.

But the word of mouth on both films is not positive and both the 36 crore cost for Kidnap as well as the 45 crore cost for Drona look to be difficult to recover.
