    The movie started its box-office journey on a lacklustre note, collecting only about Rs 22.5 crore on the opening day. However, on the second day, the movie’s prospects improved a lot and it earned an impressive Rs 39.5 crore. However, on the third day, the numbers dipped again, and the Siddharth Anand directorial minted Rs 17 crore. The total weekend collection of ‘Fighter’ (as of now), stands at Rs 79.46 crore as per a report by the Indian box-office tracking portal Sacnilk.com.


    ‘Fighter’ Performs Well Overseas

    Although the movie revolves around aerial warfare between India and Pakistan, the movie performed remarkably well at the global box-office. In a span of two days, the film earned $1.6 million in North America.
