While trade experts think New York will gross around Rs 30 crore in its first week (it was released on June 26), Hollywood flicks Terminator Salvation and X-Men are also expected to gross around Rs 18-20 crore by next Friday. The remaining box-office collections have come from small- and medium-budget films (Hindi, regional and Hollywood films) released in June, says a Mumbai-based film trade analyst.
