The third film in the popular magician-heist franchise, Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, featuring Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, and Dave Franco alongside new talent, began its theatrical run in India with a cautious footprint. On Day 1, it collected around ₹0.60 crore (net) in India, signaling a modest start in the domestic market. The film’s appeal, while built on a known brand, faced stiff competition and mixed early buzz.
On Day 2, estimates suggested that the film earned approximately ₹ 1 crore net in India. Day 3 reports put the collection in the range of ₹ 1.00-1.50 crore net, marking a slight uptick as word-of-mouth began to play a role and the novelty factor of the franchise helped engage audiences. These cumulative figures—while modest by blockbuster standards—suggest that the film is finding its feet beyond the opening day gloom.
By Day 4 (which falls on the first Monday of its release week), the film registered a comparatively steadier performance. While exact figures for Day 4 in India are not publicly specified, trade trackers suggest the Monday collection held up better than the opening day, aided by urban multiplex footfalls and audiences seeking a mid-week viewing option. The stabilization is a positive sign, especially for a Hollywood franchise release in the Indian market, which heavily relies on strong weekend openings.
Globally, the film launched with stronger numbers, topping the North American box office with approximately US$8.4 million on its opening Friday and projected estimates of $20–25 million for the weekend. The Indian market, however, remains modest in its contribution so far.
In summary: Now You See Me: Now You Don’t has had a mixed start in India — a slow opening but showing signs of improvement through Day 4. Whether it can build sustained momentum through the coming weekdays and across regional markets will determine its final tally in India. Globally, the film remains on a solid footing, but domestic growth will be crucial to unlocking its full potential.
