Following slow growth, the movie failed to rake in the big moolah. Trade Analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted, ''#SamratPrithviraj is rejected... The heavy budget on one hand and the poor outcome on the other, have sent shock waves within the industry... Fri 10.70 cr, Sat 12.60 cr, Sun 16.10 cr, Mon 5 cr, Tue 4.25 cr, Wed 3.60 cr, Thu 2.80 cr. Total: ₹ 55.05 cr. #India biz.''

The movie has so far raked in $50 cr at the box office, ''#SamratPrithviraj continues to struggle... Biz at the national [multiplex] chains is dull... Eyes ₹ 55.5 cr [+/-] total in *Week 1*... Fri 10.70 cr, Sat 12.60 cr, Sun 16.10 cr, Mon 5 cr, Tue 4.25 cr, Wed 3.60 cr. Total: ₹ 52.25 cr. #India biz,'' Taran Adarsh tweeted.

However, the movie has faced tough competition at the box office from Kartik Aryan's 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2', and Kamal Haasan's 'Vikram'.

Both of the movies emerged as the first choice of moviegoers. Meanwhile looking at Kartik's movie, it's been three weeks and the movie is a box office
winner.

''#BhoolBhulaiyaa2 packs a strong total in Week 3... Shows no signs of fatigue in mass pockets, continues its superb run in those circuits... [Week 3] Fri 2.81 cr, Sat 4.55 cr, Sun 5.71 cr, Mon 2.25 cr, Tue 2.16 cr, Wed 2.11 cr, Thu 1.81 cr. Total: ₹ 163.15 cr. #India biz.'' Taran Adarsh tweeted.
