Sultan is not holding up as well as it was expected to, at the domestic box office during the weekdays. The drop on Monday was bigger than expected and business has come down by 16-17% on both Tuesday and Wednesday.
The film will collect around 229 crore by the end of its first extended week, which is a huge total. It’ll beat the collections of the 2013 Eid release ‘Chennai Express’ today (9th day) and go past ‘Kick’ tomorrow.
But unless there is a massive jump of 60-70% on Saturday (assuming Friday goes down to 5-6 levels), Sultan is likely to finish with lifetime business of less than 300 crore.
Sultan should finish closer to Dhoom 3’s total, which will still be a huge achievement. A 3rd / 4th highest grosser of all time is where Sultan should is likely to end. However, that doesn’t change the fact that Sultan is yet another box office blockbuster for Salman Khan.
