On day 3, O Romeo raked in ₹9 crore net as per early estimates.

The Shahid Kapoor-starrer delivered a promising opening weekend at the box office, collecting ₹30.15 crore net so far domestically. The film opened with ₹8.5 crore on Friday, lower than the expectations. However, it witnessed a strong jump of 48.82% on Saturday, earning ₹12.65 crore, owing to Valentine's Day. However, collections saw a dip on Sunday, though the overall weekend performance remains healthy. Crossing the ₹30 crore mark within its opening weekend, the film has established a steady start as trade experts had predicted both Saturday and Sunday to be crucial for the film.

Prediction from expert

Film trade analyst and insider Taran Adarsh had posted on X, "#ORomeo opened on a slow note, though collections multiplied as the day progressed – particularly during the evening and night shows... Urban centres have performed comparatively better. The film must witness solid growth on Saturday and Sunday to show better weekend results. Valentine's Day is expected to boost Saturday footfalls, but the high-voltage #INDvsPAK cricket match on Sunday evening could dent collections.”
