3 Idiots vs Ek Tha Tiger – Detailed (Updated)

In the last few days, every second comment on our website is about Ek Tha Tiger crossing the magical 200 crore figure of 3 Idiots. While Salman fans are confident of the film joining the 200 crore club, his critics are quick to point out that Bodyguard crashed after the initial extended weekend. The neutrals believe, Ek Tha Tiger is not the most deserving film to go past an ‘all-time classic’.

Our take – box-office records are meant to be broken and 3 Idiots has held on strongly (and deservingly) to the top-spot for three years now.

As things stand today, with higher ticket prices and many more screens (almost double), Ek Tha Tiger has had a huge head-start.

So far in 10 days, the Salman Khan film has 147.6 crores in the bank. At the same stage, 3 Idiots did 90.5 crore nett.

The difference could well be the second weekend, when 3 Idiots went from strength to strength. If ETT picks up over the coming weekend, it’s very likely to cross the 202 crore mark and even surpass that by a decent margin. If it crashes, then it’s likely to shut-shop with 180-185 crore nett.

Below is a day-wise comparison between 3 Idiots and Ek Tha Tiger (will be updated everyday)

__________________________________

UPDATE: Ek Tha Tiger had a very good 2nd weekend of around 21 crores. The second Sunday business was more than double of it’s second Friday.

After 13 days, the difference between 3 Idiots (130.5 cr) and Ek Tha Tiger (178.17 cr) is still huge. It should add another 7-8 crores by Thursday, after which, the release of Joker will have a significant impact on ETT.

__________________________________

UPDATE (1st Sep): Ek Tha Tiger has dropped this week with the release of Joker. But the fact that Joker has already been rejected, gives ETT a good chance to put up better numbers on Saturday (today) and Sunday, as it should be the first choice this week too.

The film stills needs about 13.5 crores to cross 200 crores and about 15.5 to beat 3 Idiots. Difficult!

@ Indicine . Your point of view is disappointed in my point of view. Maybe you don’t know that the tickets prices went down early this year and raised back with the release of ETT to the level of Ra1. Also extra screens does not mean that these additional screens are free to watch people still have to buy tickets and star power plays a big roll here. 3 idiots also got tax free which benefited it as well. Now my point of view is its not Ett that is going to cross 200 crs but it’s Salman khan who is going to cross 200 crs through Average Ett. So u can not take credit away from Salman by saying hiked ticket prices and more screens. It’s Salmania.

everybody is saying that after two week joker will affect ek tha tiger. even if it does I mean ek tha tiger already will reach 180 crore above by the end of week two, mark my words but if you akki fans should pray for akshay that joker’s start may not be affected by ek tha tiger because there is no craze for the movie plus negative response of the trailor. trust me guys another negative point is that lot people have already spent too much money in watching ek tha tiger. They may not spend again on Joker

shabash, “Nice post” you have raised agood point ,it will be salman and not Ett ,to cross 3i mark, after all it is a salmania , and also ,shabash ,to “Ahmad bahi” ett will never be affected by joker, however reverse is possible , so there is every possibilty ,that ett will cross 3i mark with ease
