Bang Bang vs Chennai Express: Box Office Collection Comparison

Bang Bang has collected Rs 94.13 crore in its first extended weekend at the box office, which is about 10% lower than the first 4 days collections of Shahrukh Khan’s 2013 Eid release Chennai Express.

Quick points on the release circumstances of the two films

  • Chennai Express released on 3500 screens in India, while Bang Bang has released on 4300 according to Fox Star Studios.
  • Chennai Express released on the holiday for Eid considered to be one of the best periods for film releases. Bang Bang released about 3 weeks before Diwali and during the the Navratri period, which is not considered to be the best time to release films.
  • Chennai Express had a solo release, Bang Bang released alongside Haider which released on 1250 screens in India.
  • Both films were commercial entertainers with two of the most bankable male and female stars in the country (domestic business only).
  • Chennai Express trended very well and went on to be one of the biggest grossers of all time. It could probably have been even bigger if not for the release of Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobaraa the following week.

  • @hardik pande read this before u open ur mouth.

    http://www.indicine.com/movies/bollywood/hrithik-roshan-box-office-analysis-hits-flops-blockbusters/

    he has 9 clean hits out of 19. 4 are Blockbusters 1 Alltime Blockbuster in just 14yrs. He has the best and bigest debut for an actor in the history of india cinema with 4 best actor filmfare 1 best debut 1 best actor critics. he is 10yrs younger then the khans. so we hrithikians are satisfied and waiting more to come from hrithik but in 5 yrs khans are 55 yrs so what are you expecting? uncle/father roles for the khans?.

  • Srk fans are lyk srk is so popular That Hny will release all over the world if everything goes right then the makers of Hny are in talk with the alien group Films ceo Mr. jaddu and soon they will release Hny in Mars, mercury & Jupiter on 400 screens there are many srk fans in Pluto also but due to technical problems Hny can’t be released there still makers are trying there best to give Hny worldwide release !!!!

  • Bang Bang Beats Jai Ho & Ek Villain weekened Collections

    Bang Bang had a good weekend of 62 crore nett plus but considering the period with day one being a national holiday and the next two days being holidays for Dusshera the film should have grossed higher. Kick leads the charts and the 80 crore nett it grossed came Pre Eid which is a dull period in many circuits across the country.

    The business of Bang Bang in its first three days is even 14 crore nett less than Singham Returns. The film was totally let down by mass circuits where collections were on the lower side be it Rajasthan, CI or Gujarat. In the Gujarat/Saurashtra belt the three day business of Bang Bang was similar to just the opening day of Singham Returns

    The opening performance of Bang Bang is similar to Jai Ho. The difference being Bang Bang having two extra holiday but a bit of that is levelled out by the competition of Haider. Below are the top opening weekends of 2014.

    Top 5 Domestic Opening Weekends 2014

    1 Kick 80.1 cr.
    2 Singham Returns 76.5 cr.
    3 Bang Bang 62.2 cr. apprx
    4 Jai Ho 58.1 cr.
    5 Ek Villain 48.1 cr.

  • Lol bangbang 5th day collection is 14cr or even less … Sorry Hro fans hahahaha…
    Bas is diwali ko dekhna srk Kya karta hai boxoffice pe…
    Todenge taale india wale

  • @pravin u should also look at other factors,kick released during ramdhan which is not a good period for movies,kick had only one holiday other than sunday during first 3 weeks while CE had more

  • @dinda11
    dnt fool urself..ur duplicate KICK couldnt beat worldwide collection of CE despite having 2 open wks,increased screen count & increased ticket price.,

  • @indicine: you had promised to post the reviews of indicine visitors with a new article. Rohit,karthik,me,babaji,samar etc have given our reviews with very less gramatical errors.

  • @sht there is difference between clash of CE – Ouatimd and Pk-WB, because Once upon is a made product that time and they didn’t postpone their film until the meeting Done by Utv-srk with Jeetendra ji.That’s why I said that postponement was requested by Srk not a step directly taken by Balaji, other thing CE had 7 days good screens as on it 7th day it had 2500 screen while preview had 650 screens so overall it hhad3100 screen which is great so first week of 156 cr and 7 the day was national holiday for it.Yes CE trended very well but it definitely given big dent to Ouatimd first by postponed second by given just 1000 screen on first day.Just think a big film which not get good screen on its first day and then got negative reviews how big impact it given on that film.
    For pk clash with any film it been averted by maker of WB Even 4-5 month earlier without any meeting by pk makers. See the difference dude and if you are talking more for clash than if Welcome wouldn’t clash with TZP either of them can be highest grosser of the year ahead of OSO in 2007 especially welcome could beat oso and tzp would make it on top 3 by beating CDI, at least see the case of both clashes before pointing anything, I didn’t said CE not performed great just want to say if outimd released on same day. Jai ho and d3 never been clashed in talking and had 1 month gap in release.

    aamir has 17flops(45%) out of 38 films (lead roles) in 25 years.

    SRK has 19 flops out(32%) of 55 films (lead roles) in 22 years.

    salman has 36 flops(55%) out of 64 films(lead roles) in 24 years.

    amir has 11 clean hits and salman has 21 clean hits.

    WHILE KING OF BOLLYWOOD HAS 29 CLEAN HIT(WHICH IS ALMOST DOUBLE of amir+salman’s CLEAN HITS).

    THAT’S WHY SRK IS THE KING OF BOLLYWOOD.

    CHARLIE IS COMING.

  • Action jackson bo collection may surprise all.if it would have released on diwali then it would have collected more than tmk part 2(hny).

  • facts mentioned are wrong, bang bang released on 3350 screens in India, and in overseas just in 4 days it has already surpassed lifetime collections of kick and singham returns which is commendable, so worldwide its gonna be biggest hit if not domestically, katrina have much more starpower than deepika, that will surely make the huge difference, and everyone knows kick collections are hugely exaggerated, so its better ppl not mention here with blockbusters.

  • Bang bang a comlete disater movie.its a head bang. Katrina should throw out of indushtry.iust copy a flop hollywood movie make more dumb movie like bang bang. Hritek telling lies on tv channel Etc that bang bang has beaten the fst dy collection of kick he dosnt know that kick was nt realeasd in tamil and telgu language. Total bakwass movie.today all the theaters are nearly empty

  • Some tv channel flim critic are yes men of big star & big banner.they are manipulating the review in favor of bang bang.they are playing with public hard earned money.go and watch Haider its a classic. Sahid ki jai ho.haider movie of the year.bang bang a rotten egg totally worst movie of hiritek.

  • Anthor mindless & testless is cming to terrorise yu its called HNY.save hindi flm industry frm these people yu know is farah khan and the gang called HNY.

  • Bang bang blockbuster movie because inspite of average report film is doing very well business, we cant compare to anybody with hritik. He is only complete superstar.great actor, great dancer, killer look, muscles.
