Opening Day Collection of Actors: Previous Film

The last time this article was updated, Shah Rukh Khan (after Happy New Year) and Hrithik Roshan (after Bang Bang) were occupying the Top 2 spots. The current list is more inline with the standing of the stars in the industry. Only Hrithik Roshan, who failed to deliver with his last release ‘Mohenjo Daro’, is below his actual standing in the industry.

Salman Khan is the undisputed No 1 star today, the superstar managed to take his Eid release ‘Sultan’ above the 35 crore mark, a day before the Eid holiday. Aamir Khan’s 2014 film ‘PK’ opened well at the box office, but it remains to be seen if his next film ‘Dangal’ can challenge the opening record of ‘Sultan’.

Shah Rukh Khan is someone who has always been consistent when it comes to the box office opening of his films. His last release, FAN, was a box office debacle but the film opened very well for an off-beat film.

Akshay Kumar exceeded expectations earlier this year when his multiplex film ‘Rustom’ managed to beat Hrithik Roshan’s ‘Mohenjo Daro’.

Ranbir, Varun and Ranveer are considered to be the Top 3 when it comes to ‘younger generation’ of stars, who are not only trying to establish their fan-base, but could break into the big league in the next few years.

Ajay Devgn could make a strong comeback with ‘Baadshaho’ and ‘Golmaal Again’ next year, while Arjun Kapoor has the biggie ‘Half Girlfriend’.

  • Box office debacle is harsh word to describe FAN. MD was a debacle look at that collection. FAN worldwide collections it’s still one of the best of the year

  • With the budget of 60 Cr including print and publicity, Kaabil will be Blockbuster at least at the Box Office as Kaabil a 100 Cr film at BO.

    I think that Kaabil will earn 125 Cr at BO and this will make Kaabil a All Time BLOCKBUSTER.

    Let’s see what future comes with.

  • Fan off beat ??
    A film released on 3500+ screens , 105cr+ budget you call that film off beat
    Salute your logic ..!!!

    • @Deadpool, what has budget got to do with appeal of a film? Bombay Velvet was off-beat and not even a 5 city film, but had landing cost of 120 crore and released on 2650 screens.

  • SRK’s Last film Dear Zindagi earned 9 Cr First day with solo

    HRITHIK’s last film Mohenjo Daro earned 8 Cr First day with clash

    Just think How much Srk’s upcoming films will earn at BO with clash
    Raees :: 5.5 Cr
    The Ring :: 5.5 Cr

    HRITHIK film will earn at least 8 cr plus at BO even worse case like MOHENJO DARO. And Kaabil looks super awesome film of 2017. So Kaabil is going to 100 Cr plus and will earn All Time Blockbuster tag

    Even God can’t save SRK & RAEES from complete washout
    KAABIL All Time Blockbuster

  • In terms of opening,the ranking of top stars r as follows :
    1.Sallu – Undoubtedly the biggest superstar currently.
    2.SRK – Is a little bit down the road currently but he was the most dominant star in the past two decades(as far as opening is concerned).
    3.Aamir – The perfectionist of Bollywood.PK’s opening credit goes to him. But Ghajini was his only record opener this decade.
    4.HR – Bang Bang & Agneepath opened very well but God knows what Happens to him on non holidays e.g MJD.
    5.Akki – RR generated record opening in non holiday.But his wrong choices & too many movies a yr has counter attacked him who was one of the biggest last decade with many bumper openers like KI, SIK (record opening) ,BLUE etc.
    I HOPE U LIKE IT
    #LUV

  • After including DEAR ZINDAGI

    List will be like
    Salman Khan ? 36.54 cr – SULTAN

    Aamir Khan ? 26.63 cr – PK

    Akshay Kumar ? 14.11 cr – RUSTOM

    Ranbir Kapoor ? 13.3 cr – ADHM

    Ranveer Singh ? 12.81 cr – BAJIRAO

    Varun Dhawan ? 11.05 cr DISHOOM

    Ajay Devgn ? 10.24 cr SHIVAAY

    Shahid Kapoor ? 10.05 cr – UDTA PUNJAB

    Hrithik Roshan ? 8.87 cr MOHENJO DARO – clash

    Saif Ali Khan ? 8.46 cr – PHANTOM

    Srk – 8.25cr – DEAR ZINDAGI

    Arjun Kapoor ? 7.30 cr – Ki and Ka

    Intention to make this article only to put down Hrithik,
    Don’t forget RAEES is a upcoming disaster
    Jitna expectations karna hai karlo, RAEES ek disaster film hai because of its budget
    Only solo release of RAEES may result only recovery of budget.

  • Hrithik will be back with kaabil
    Opening day of kaabil can be 20 cr.(including preview) if content will be good…

  • Offbeat movie definition. Hero villain conflict, over the top action, superstar in double role, biggest production house yrf, one of the widest releases ever, overseas locations, international stunt and make up crew, world class vfx,…. And that’s an offbeat movie called fan.

    By that logic salman Khan is yet to star in a commercial movie.

  • Hrithik never fails bt due 2 some stupid actors like non-actor motu khan nd over-actor ranveer …mohenjodaro was rejected by stupid fans !!!

  • I Think Rustom must be on 3rd spot in this list as it faced a clash with less screens & limited appeal still it did 14cr which is more than Fan i.e 19cr which was released in approx 3600 screens. So @Indicine tell me which is bigger number & i will be very grateful if u post this comment. Thank u

  • @Indicine… But still you can’t call Fan an offbeat film, it was meant to be a commercial film… was promoted heavily… but the direction went haywire… It was a foolish film…

  • Akshay was at his best during 2007-10 when it came to opening. A tough competition to Aamir and SRK. Welcome was massive despite clash. Tashan wasn’t even properly released but his stardom took it to decent level. Singh is Kinng was record opener. Blue was huge as well despite clash. Kambakkht Ishq and Housefull were also record openers only behind was just behind Ghajini and 3 idiots respectively(Xmas releases). TMK that released a day before Xmas fell short of just 1.5 cr in beating Dabanng, another holiday release. He was huge in overseas as well, second biggest after SRK. His poor choice of scripts is what that brought him down. But things have taken a positive turn since this year. His line-up looks superb and he needs more universally appealing films to peak once again.

  • I don’t know if u ppl have noticed this or not but @Audicious Hrithik & @Edx power’s comments sounds same. So i guess HR fans really have many fake ids & bots in every social media platform be it indicine or any other i.e twitter etc.
    #SHAME?

  • 20 cr. Opening
    Salman khan -6 times
    Srk -3 times
    Hrithik – 3 times
    Aamir – 2 times
    Ranbir – 1 time
    Ajay -1 time
    Akki – 1 time if we consider producer fig …..

    Next movies
    SALMAN (tubelight) -100% more than 20 cr.
    SRK (raees) -Very tough ,if not impossible
    Hrithik (kaabil) -possible, if it did 5 cr. + in preview shows…
    Aamir -Will be 20 cr. + definately
    Ajay -Not possible for baadshaho…

  • Good Job . Currently Dangal will beat Fan and MSD and will do 20+ on first day . Dangal can also beat Kick, Bang Bang, PK and Bajrangi Bhaijaan to do 25+ but 30+ looks out of reach as of now . Kaabil should do 12+ on the first day considering clash with Raees, divided screens and divided number of shows . The opening of MD was extremely poor but I hope Hrithik will make a turnaround with Kaabil . It will be interesting to see the opening of Befikre as Ranveer is coming after BM and Adi Chopra is back after 8 years . !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Srk doesn’t only depend on holidays like Salman who never do character roles and has no guts to release without EDX.Let him once release his movie that has no song like fan and without EDX,then he will know his real aukat where he stands bcoz everyone knows what happened with JAI HO.

  • Interms of openning SRK>>> But in recent always film undeperformed after weekned now the old srk is back Raees, imtiaz ali next, ALR next, Adi chopra next, slb next, KJO next The king is back

  • @ indicine: please tell us if u have data- how much is the total costs and total collections of all the movies released this year ?

  • SRK also want to win filmfare award ….that is why he did FAN which was offbeat.Perfimance matters more than collections for SRK.

  • @indicine you should have included sushant…!!!
    When you can add dilwale in varun’s case then what’s the problem with sushant…!!!
    You are highly biased..!!
    Btw do u have any problem with sushant…!!!
    He deserves a mention here
