Toilet Ek Prem Katha Weekend Box Office Collections

Toilet Ek Prem Katha recorded excellent collections in its first weekend. It was only the third Hindi film this year, after Raees, Tubelight and Jolly LLB 2, to collect more than 50 crore in its first 3-day weekend at the box office.

The trend was extraordinary through the weekend and even though the first day collections were lower than Shah Rukh Khan’s Jab Harry Met Sejal, the weekend collections are 20% higher. In fact, ‘Toilet Ek Prem Katha’ will smash the lifetime business of ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’ in just 4 days, as the film has held-on  well on Monday which is a partial holiday for Krishna Janmashtami.

The weekend collections of Akshay’s last five films are as follows:

  • Airlift – 44.3 crore
  • Housefull 3 - 53.31 crore
  • Rustom - 50.42 crore
  • Jolly LLB 2 - 50.46 crore
  • Toilet Ek Prem Katha – 51.45 crore

Most of his films have been averaging out at around the 50 crore range over the weekend, which is very good. Unless there’s a major crash on Wednesday, the first weekend business makes the film a winner at the box office. It has the big holiday for Independence Day coming up on Tuesday and even though the word-of-mouth isn’t excellent, the general perception around the film is positive which should ensure high ticket sales on Tuesday.

Box office aside, ‘Toilet Ek Prem Katha’ is one of the few films this year that has ensured big crowds at multiplexes on a Sunday and credit should go to Akshay Kumar for taking a small film like this to the level that it has reached over the weekend. Clearly, his Saturday-Sunday audience is increasing with every release.

‘Toilet Ek Prem Katha’ is now looking at 5-day extended weekend business of close to 80 crore. The test will come on Wednesday, when ticket prices drop to normal weekday levels. If the film manages to hold above the 5 crore mark, it’ll go on to be a major winner at the box office.

For now though, the trade has a reason to celebrate after a long time. A film has emerged a success after back to back failures, with the only exception being Mubarakan.

A bit of history: It was during the exact same period in 2013 when Shah Rukh Khan decided to clash his big release ‘Chennai Express’ with ‘Once Upon A Time In Mumbai Dobaara’. He got the weekend and decimated one of Akshay’s most awaited films. 4 years later, we have the exact same situation, but the opposite result. It’s Akshay Kumar this time around who decided to take on the already announced ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’. He got the bigger weekend for himself, didn’t even have to compete and his film is now reaping the benefits of an open week.

A quick note on IndicineLBO: We are sticking to the same prediction of 120 crore which we made before the release of the film. It remains unchanged.

  • @ Indicine, it would be a good idea if you sum up an article on Akshay’s box office and movie choices in the past 3-4 years. Could be a worthy read.

  • Today also #TEPK is running with occupancy like Friday so day4 collections can be 12Cr. Now it will be highest earning film of @akshaykumar!

    – Krk

    Krk who usually bashes Akki if he is predicting 12 crores then it will do 13 today :)…

  • indicin where is your lifetime production for TEPK & why you haven’t answered my question yesterday plz answer this time you will not lose anything so how much TEPK need to get hit, super hit verdict

  • It was clearly evident from trailer itself that Toilet won’t be a failure.
    Although the buzz was decreased since than but it wouldn’t created bad impact due to positive wom.
    Akshay kumar has 5 back to back hits with 2 successful years. Next year line up is even bigger, only thing to watch that will he break his RR lifetime apart from 2.0, this is thw only setback of him in last 5 hits. Kudos to Akshay for the achievement. So Akki have periods in his 25 year career when he has been bigger star than three khans during those time. Ahead than Aamir & Salman in some part of 90’s & 2000s, now bigger than srk now. Let see will he be in top 2 again like 2007 when he was second to srk.

    While things has been disastrous for srk post HNY, i have read a fan boy article on koimoi where he claimed that srk not having bad phase. I hope he will read my answer here that how it is srk bad phase.
    1. Srk had 10 back to back clean hits, but he has no hits in last 3 years. Dilwale-Semi hit, Raees- semi hit, Fan – Flop, Jhms – Disaster.
    2. Fan site like indicine claimed that srk had no disaster in his career, no issue JHMS happened.
    3. There was the time when srk films not been successful, he has lucky charm YRF/Kajol with whom he delivered big hits. With Yashraj He had only superhits and above. This was broken with JTHJ and fan ended the successful streak.
    SRK-Kajol always had blockbusters, with MNIK they demoted to hit verdict, with dilwale they demoted further to semi hit.
    4. SRK always rocked in grey/negative roles, this year Raees his performance is nothing more than average, Nawaz overshadowed him.
    5. During the days when big film breach 100cr in 3 days, Fan & JHMS failed to breach 100 in their lifetime.
    6. Srk never lost in clash (though he lost once in 2001 against Sunny deol), he lost clash from Bajirao Mastani in 2015, run away from two clashes i.e. Sultan & TEPK.

    If these are not sign of bad phase, than my dear srkians living in past glory, you are wishing for srk that he deliver bigger failures ahead to termed as bad phase.

    Now its Aamir, Salman & Akshay at top 3.

    • Hahahahahaha, One more new excuse…
      ROFL…
      Abey Jhhantu, Release se pahle fir kuchh aur Kyu bhonkte ho, bey?
      Chal, 60 crores se 100 crores taq to aaya Tu…
      I still stand on my comment, Agar 100 crores below gayi then I will never post any comment on Indicine aur agar cross kar gayi to yaha kabhi Tu comment mat kariyo, bey… Agar Tujhh mein sharm naam ki cheez hai to…
      Now WAIT & WATCH…

  • Abe dhakkan, Aamir has 3 back to back 200cr, two back to back 300cr.
    He has high standard, also the expectation from him to deliver is even bigger.
    Salman fans celebrating tubelight crossed 100cr, Akshay 120-130cr grossers will be cherished. But expectation from Aamir is that huge, if any of his films fail to cross 250cr, it will termed as under performer.

    you are an Sallu fan and talking about Aamir release on Christmas, then why your superstar only running for holiday release, why Jai ho failed to touch Ghajini domestic,overseas & ww after 5 years. 100cr grosser is not a parameter of success. Jai ho verdict is same as Talaash but JH was even a bigger failer, ICU pahunch gaye the distributer.
    And tubelight ne to laashe bicha di. Saala movie bechi 135cr me with expectation of 300cr in return, lifetime hua 115cr.

    And Aamir is no one to afraid from Any one, He clashed Secret Superstar with 2.0, and then GA came for clash. There was report that Salman asked to Aamir before locking Christmas that he had any planned release on Christmas or not. Aamir clashed with Akki in 2007 on christmas.
    And even today if Aamir announce his film on Christmas than even Salman can’t afford the clash. Aamir has 5 back to back ATGs on christmas, baki logo k to career me ek bhi nahi hote h.

    Don’t compare Aamir with any star, while other fans rejoice on back to back 100cr, Aamirians are celebrating 3 back to back ATGs/ATBBs and 1000 & 2000cr bollywood grosser. Raise your standard bete.

    • @sky
      No Salman fan is celebrating Tubelight’s 100cr. Don’t behave like a plan stupid.

      “why your superstar only running for holiday release”…. LMAO! Who is talking about Salman’s holiday releases! FYI, your favorite star yet to deliver an ATBB, a blockbuster, a HGOTY on non holiday in the last 25 years. I’m not even talking about a non holiday 100cr grosser. But you guys are blabbering on Salman’s holiday releases. What an irony!

      Yes Jai Ho failed to cross 5 years old release Ghajini. So what? Have you forgotten your favorite star struggled 15 years to touch HAHK collections? Also still struggling to match Salman’s debut film (as lead) MPK’s footfalls.. Remember these things before barking on Salman.

      • @Tiger, Aamir not given BB on non-holiday. What was Rangeela than in 1995, Your favoirite BOI verdict of Rangeela is BB, Dil was blockbuster in 1990 & HGOTY too. Salman is yet to cross Raja Hindustani footfalls in India which release after HAHK & MPK. Aamir failed to break HAHK ff, But why our biggest superstar of all time Salman struggling to cross Raja Hindustani in last 20 years. Aamir too won’t crossed 4cr ff yet after RH but his Dangal has been watched by 4.25cr+ people le in China.
        Salman is coming with TZH on Christmas, lets see will he finally break PK lifetime with this sequal or not. Srk given ATG on EID but Salman doesn’t while on Christmas no one yet crossed 3I after 7 years. Though it is in reach for TZH.

      • @sky
        Okay, accepted that Rangeela was a blockbuster. But do you know Salman’s achievements on non holiday?
        1 ATG
        2 BHOTD
        2 HGOTD
        4 HGOTY
        2 ATBB
        Your favorite star yet to achieve single of them on non holiday. But you guys are chanting on Salman’s holiday releases…Hahaha.

        “Salman is yet to cross Raja Hindustani footfalls”… LMAO! Ulta Chor Kotwal ko Daante! Aamir is yet to touch Salman’s debut film (as lead) MPK’s footfalls. Also, Salman has already delivered 7cr ff film and you are asking him to cross 4cr ff. Means someone who has already scored a triple century he need to prove himself by scoring a century. #What an hutiyappa!

      • @Tiger so you mean that Non-holiday grosser defines stardom. So that mean Ranbir Kapoor is biggest superstar followed by Akshay kumar. Right?

        Regarding your answer of above 4HGOTY, 2ATBB, 2BHOTD, 1 ATGs.

        Lets analyze. 4 HGOTY (MPK,HAHK,Saajan,No Entry)
        MPK & HAHK were directed by same director Sooraj badjatya. Saajan has Sanjay Dutt as lead and in NO entry Anil – Fardeen have the screen time and comic portions, Salman has extended cameo role.
        BOTH so called HGOTD/BHOTD/ATBBs & 1 ATGs were sooraj badjatya films. Both his highest footfalls films directed by Sooraj badjatya So that mean Salman yet to deliver ATGs/BHOTD without Badjatya. Correct?
        Aamir has 1 HGOTY without non holiday which is solo lead DIL in 1990.

        So your points suggest.
        Ranbir is biggest superstar of non holiday & Aamir on holiday as they are having biggest grossers in their name.

        Aamir failed to beat Badjatya films in 90s, just like Salman failed to beat Aamir christmas releases.

        With Dangal Aamir also brought Highest footfalls this decade just like Salman in 90s with HAHK. If Dangal china footfalls added which are 4.25cr than Dangal ww footfalls is even more than 8.5cr. Now you will say only domestic matters because Salman is yet to have a release in china.lol.

      • @sky
        When did I say that non holiday release prove stardom? It’s you who was barking on Salman’s holiday releases. I just showed you the mirror that Salman has proved himself on non holiday multiple times… While Aamir’s last non holiday HGOTY/blockbuster came 27 years ago (1990).

        LMAO! Too much blabbering on Suraj Barjatya! FYI, Suraj yet to prove himself without Salman. He directed two staring others. But both of those movies combined footfalls are less than half of HSSH (forget MPK or HAHK). And acc to your director’s film logic 3 idiots and pk are Raju Hirani films, Dangal is Nitesh Tiwari film… Aamir has nothing to do with their successes (ur own logic)…??

        And finally, that non holiday logic is yours not mine. I have never complained anyone’s holiday releases. It’s you who has been chanting on Bhai’s holiday releases. So Ranbir or Akki can be bigger than Aamir not Salman. Even if you make Akki bigger than salman still Salman remains bigger than Aamir.

      • @Chuha don’t worry even if you try to call Akki and ranbir bigger than aamir, aamir will still remain much bigger star than Salman. Period.

      • Chuhe what a joke? Bhojouri lallu is bigger than wait? Can’t stop laughing at such jokes. Get a life chuhe.

    • This is unfair indicine. You are posting the rubbish comments of tiger the chuha but not posting my fitting reply to him? Is truth too harsh for you to digest as you have soft corner for salman khan? Why are you not posting my reply to @TIGER to show the aukaat of his star?

  • Akshaykumar once again save the bollywood. giving 30 flops after BAHUBALI 2 Bollywood had collapsed even salman and srk give big flop and disaster so AKSHAYKUMAR giving first superhit to BOLLYWOOD. AKSHAYKUMAR is biggest lifeline of DISTRIBUTER and EXIBITOR.

  • Monday trends – 12 crores which will help the collections to go above 64 crores in flat 4 days. Tomorrow can be 18+ helping reach 5 day total to bare minimum of 82 crores. Who says Netflix impacts collections ? Good movies do put up a good total

  • Toilet Ek Prem Katha has emerged a BLOCKBUSTER and the first one for the Hindi film industry this year. There was Bahubali – The Conclusion this year but that film was from the Telugu film industry. Although its too early to judge the collections for Monday they will be in double digits for sure and possibly go above the first day business. North India has gone crazy for the film with Delhi / UP simply running riot on Monday. the Saturday growth in key markets suggest this but the way Delhi / UP is performing on Monday the film is going to dominate the box for sometime.
    The film will also easily be the highest grosser in the career of Akshay Kumar and even can challenge his top inflation adjusted grossers but that can only be known in time. There is that big holiday to come tomorrow and on conservative estimates the film will cross 75 crore nett in five days, maybe even 80 crore nett. the prices of tickets have been kept same as the weekend as there is a holiday on Tuesday so that has helped collections a little but even without this the film would have held very just collected a crore or so less. Basically Akshay Kumar has been able to do what Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan could not and that is give a BLOCKBUSTER in 2017 and that is with a HIT (Jolly LLB 2) already behind him.

    A more accurate estimate of Monday figures will be known in the evening and will be updated then.

  • @hrithik
    If you think that fans in social media and trade portals can affect a superstar, then you are living inside a closet.
    SRK is suffering due to his poor choices and dearth of universal solid scripts. Nothing more than that.
    And how humble is Salman during his success days? Didn’t he bring Sultan infront of an already declared Raees?

  • @Team Indicine,
    How is the performance in single screens all over? Has Akshay’s fanbase in the small towns come out for this film?Sorry, missed your q and a session yesterday so couldn’t ask.Please reply with a short answer atleast. Thank You!

  • Look at these akki fans.they are celebrating as TEPK beats JHMS.abe gadho, Who will beat Raees , Dilwale , HNY and CE collections ?

    • Dilwale the flop, HNY the manipulation king or CE the stealing of screens master..??
      Which one of these are u talking about..
      Let’s just keep the tall between latest 3 movies..
      Fan flop
      RUSTOM Suoerhit
      Raees Above average
      JOLLY Llb 2 hit
      Jhms flop
      Toilet blockbuster

  • It seems this time your lifetime prediction will be wrong. TEPK seems on course to cross 150cr lifetime. BOI already declared this as a blockbuster, based on Monday early trends.

  • I think it will collect more than 120 cr.. Saw the movie yesterday first half is very entertaining second half loses the flow.. The performances of the entire cast is very good. I liked Dibyendu’s comic timing..ADnd finally there is some much needed good news for bollywood.. ????

  • @Fake Aamir Khan chameleon you gawaar then when is TOH releasing? By the way your bhojpuri star asked aamir whether he is releasing his film on Christmas this year or not and asked his permission and aamir gave him the permission because he had no release this year. So get some brain. By the way Aamir’s record of 3 consecutive ATBB and ATHG is much bigger than your lallu’s entire career. So get a life. 100 cr is too small number for aamir but it’s still very huge number for smaller stars like salman, srk and akki so just enjoy your star’s 100 cr ride. ??

  • 2014-2018 is rejoice time for srk haters after continuously ruling 1992-2008, 2009-2013 competing for top spot. Every person have to face this kind of situation what srk is now facing sill HNY is all time record opener, Raees only 2017 excellent opener still biggest grosser proves srk in bad phase bigger than other actor best phase

  • Hit hai boss…Monday collection coming 10+ as indicine said it can…Indicine just post some articles yaar..We are waiting for TEPK or akshays article from you

  • Tepk will become hit only in its 1st week itself…and if it collects even 1/3 rd of the 3rd week collections it may challenge raees and rowdy Rathore collections ….amazing..hats off akki …

  • LOL 50crs is excellent weekend for bhakt kumar. No offense to him.

    But i was assuimng he will break his own rowdy record which is still impossibel for him.

    Looks like 150crs is a rocket science for him.

  • Akkis gold movie will also become gold at the box office…akki has beaten tat haklu overhyped media made self proclaimed global star for the very first time .now akki stands at 3 Rd position ….cheers and proud moment for.akki and his fans.. …BTW indicine do you think tat Buddha khan has enough courage left to give one more disaster in dwarf film next yr. Wt do u think. …and you have not told the lifetime collections of jhms. … wt is tat Buddha star doing now…wt is his actual aukaat now. Do haklu has enough aukaat left to clash with hrithik or any other big star. ..
