London Dreams has shown improvement in business at multiplexes. The afternoon and early evening shows are are around 50-55% while late evening and night shows should be even better at around 65-70%. The jump is not huge but its a steady improvement as the day goes on.
Single screens are not fairing as well and will finish the day at around 40-45%. The first day all India average will be around 55-60% mark which will mean an average first day.
Aladin has seen awful collections all day in the 10-20% mark on limited showings. The film will turn out a huge disaster unless there is a big turnaround quickly.

London Dreams collected a decent 15 crore nett approx over its first weekend. The approx breakdowns were 4.25 crore on Friday, 3.75 crore on Saturday and a very good 7 crore on Sunday.
The collections showed a slight dip on Saturday as there was a big cricket match going on. The collections should be good on Monday as it is a holiday but there is also opposition from another big cricket match which will make collections lower than they normally would be on a holiday.
London Dreams will probably do around 25-30 crore nett business over its first week depending on how strong the holiday Monday is and how collections fare afterwards.
The other release of the week Aladin is a huge disaster with around 3.50 crore nett collections over first weekend. The first week should finish in the 5-6 crore nett range.

Tuesday 3rd November 2009 10.00 IST Boxofficeindia.Com Trade Network
London Dreams grossed around 3.50 crore nett on Monday. This is a decent collection for Monday but as it was a holiday a better total was expected. The cricket match may have made a dent of around 10-15% into collections like Saturday.
The film now has a total of approx 18.50 crore nett in four days after a 15 crore nett weekend. The first week looks like finishing in the 23-26 crore nett region depending on how well it holds up on Tuesday.
This week will see the release of Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani which will get plenty of screen space at multiplexes meaning a heavy reduction of shows for London Dreams. Single screens will be less affected but London Dreams is doing average to poor business at single screens and better at multiplexes. The film is likely to turn out an average fare at best.

The collections of London Dreams fell in the 50-60% range on Monday as compared to Sunday in most of the country but was much steadier in the Delhi/UP and East Punjab belt with drops of around 35-40% as compared to Sunday. Some evening late shows at multiplexes of Delhi/NCR were fantastic at around 80%.
This could be as Guru Nanak Jayanti is a bigger holiday in the North as most businesses close up shop whereas in the rest of the country though its an official holiday, for many businesses its a normal working day.
While Delhi/UP and East Punjab was best with 35-40% falls compared to Sunday, Mumbai, CPCI, Rajasthan and Nizam fell around 50-55% while West Bengal and Mysore had bigger falls as compared to Sunday.
