Akshay Kumar's Sky Force is performing less than expected. Despite decent advance bookings, the movie is unlikely to cross the Rs 10 crore mark on its opening day.

 

Sky Force has earned Rs 3.78 crore on its advance booking in 2D and IMAX 2D format, industry tracker Sacnilk reported. If block seats are also added then the total Sky Force advance booking collection goes up to Rs 5.42 crore.

 

This movie registered one of the biggest pre-sales of tickets for Akshay Kumar on BMS. The movie surpassed all of its releases, since 2024. The war drama sold 148K tickets on BMS, promising good opening numbers.

Fighter fetched Rs 8.4 crore through advance bookings and its opening day net collection was Rs 22.5 crores. The movie emerged as a hit after earning around Rs 358.83 crore across the world and it was made with the budget of Rs 250 crore.
