It looks like 'bad time' is not ending for Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar. While his newly released movie Selfiee failed to impress fans at the box office making his 5th flop film on a trot, Akshay Kumar's upcoming live concert named The Entertainers in the USA has also suffered a massive setback. As per a major entertainment portal, Akshay Kumar is all set to fly to the USA for a five-city show. Titled ‘The Entertainers’, it will be fronted by Akshay Kumar and also comprises Nora Fatehi, Disha Patani, Sonam Bajwa, Stebin Ben, Jasleen Royal, Mouni Roy, Aparshakti Khurana, and Zahrah Khan. Now, Bollywood Hungama suggests that Akshay Kumar's The Entertainers concert in New Jersey has been cancelled due to poor sales.
As per a statement released by the promoter of the show, Amit Jaitly, the show that was scheduled at Cure Insurance Arena, Trenton, New Jersey on Saturday, March 4 will not take place. Amit Jaitly attributed the cancellation to the 'slow sale of tickets'. He added that the show wasn’t appropriately marketed and that they had 'less than stellar support for marketing from the Tour organizer'. The statement ended with an assurance that those who had booked tickets will be fully refunded.
Will Akshay Kumar's USA concert happen?
The answer is yes. From five cities, Akshay Kumar's The Entertainers will now take place in four cities. The four shows of 'The Entertainers' will take place as scheduled. Akshay Kumar and the rest of the actors will commence the tour with a performance on Saturday, March 3 in Duluth, Georgia. This will be followed by shows in Allen, Texas on Wednesday, March 8, Kissimmee, Florida on Saturday, March 11 and Oakland, California on Sunday, March 12. The cheapest ticket for ‘The Entertainers’ is available for $59, as per the information given on a booking website. The booking website shows that the tickets are fast filling for the show in Oakland on March 12.

Akshay Kumar and Emraan Hashmi have failed to create magic with Selfiee. The film, that released on February 24, did not fare well on its first weekend in theatres. After a disastrous Day 1, Selfiee continued to sink on its opening weekend with just Rs 10 crore. Selfiee is a remake of the Malayalam drama Driving License. As per reports, the film did not do a good business at the box office on its first weekend in theatres. On Day 3, February 26, Selfiee raked in Rs 3.90 crore. Hence, its total domestic box office collection would now stand at Rs 10.25 crore. Meanwhile, Selfiee had an overall 13.47 per cent Hindi occupancy on Sunday, February 26.
