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.

  • why don’t u updating Overseas or worldwide collection of Toilet Ek Prem Katha? ??
    None of any site for Box office collection has posted it yet..
    Why…why why????

  • No offence to Indicine but this time your prediction is going to be wrong that also in huge margin, not a mistake of yours its just the underestimation to the power of Akki.

    Last few months was completely hell for all the Akki fans as everybody calling him Canadian, Bhakth etc it was so unbearable I had to stop visiting comment section.

    Its a lesson for everybody not just Akki hater, never ever underestimate anybody in your life be a actor, colleague or friend. Everybody has the potential to be in top it just requires our handwork and determination without being complacent.

    And this I learned from the rise of Salman those were the days when his movies were struggling to open I had never thought in my wildest dream this guy is going to give 30 crore opening but he rised like phoenix and decimated everybody and he taught me big lesson that never underestimate anybody..I had believe Akki will also rise and he did in style…

    Now waiting for 2.0 it will take him to different level altogether.

  • But still @Incidine gobar kumar vl not b able to cross the lifetime collections of rowdy rathore despite having such a good film lik tepk.he desperately needs a 150crs film leave alone 200crs,its in his dreams n vl remain so he s standard is 120crs

    Toilet Ek Prem Katha Emerges A BLOCKBUSTER

    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. BOI

  • Congratulations akki paaji fans. But remember our akki paaji is in his best phase but still not able to get 15 cr+ opening forget 20 cr,25 cr, 30 cr etc and 35 cr is mount Everest for him. Even with strong message and good story our akki paaji struggles to cross 130 cr and his maximum limit is 140 cr. Sad to see akki paaji failing to cross 150 cr with so many attempts even in his best golden run period. Indeed very sad.

  • @Indicine – Will you change your LBO now ? The way TEPK is going, it is sure to cross 140 now and emerge as Akkis biggest hit

    I read an article on BOI which states – TEPK emerges as BB and Monday is expected to be above Friday. In that case Monday will be 13 crores and even if Tuesday can be 20 crores than we go with 84 crores in 5 days. Now 100 crores 1st week is a real possibility

  • TEPK running riot – Akki not only overtook Srk but is now challenging top 2 khans…150+ crores on a year when everyone else failed after 1 hit already under his kitty

  • Like I said Akkies fanz r soo deluded its unreal, one of the comment His gna challenge the other 2 KHANS!!! why oh why!!!!

    Congrats to Akshay Kumar on this success he really deserved it completely changed his game plan!!

    But his fanz oh my god wtf sooo freaking annoying!!

  • Superb Collection, growth shows that the WOM is Positive and since this week there is 3 holidays (today, tomorrow and then there is one more Partial holiday) so collection will again boost up…..I think it will collect more than 120cr…..so congratulation Akki and his fans for the success……

    But there are 2 things which I don’t like about Akki, 1st he is doing to many Patriotic movies Baby, Airlift, Rustom, Toilet, Padman, Gold, even Jolly at some extend you can say is patriotic…..there is no harm in it but its getting too repetitive and also very safe game……2nd that his movie budget is way too low, which does not suits to his stardom….he is in the industry from more than 25 years now and his movie budget is less then even new comer actors…..Toilet budget is only 18cr that’s too low yaar now even Varun and Ranveer movie budget is more then 60cr and Ranbir’s movie budget is approx. 90-100cr….Ranveer’s next Padmavati movie budget is 150cr approx. and his BM budget was 120cr, don’t you think that he is playing very safe game……

    Nothing against Akki I am happy that he is giving back to back hit and he is also a lifeline of Distributors….But I seriously want to see him in a big budget movies (Robot 2 is not his movie) with some different genres too…….

    Once again Congratulation to Akki and his Fans for the success of Toilet…….And please Akki fans don’t take my comment as a negative, Akki is doing superb job and he totally deserve the 3rd spot in top Actors list….I am just missing him in Action movie….

  • Well deserve success Akki and you also deserve that 3rd position on top Actors list…..Now soon Ajay will also replace Srk from 4th position because all his upcoming movie looks superbly excited Baadshaho, Golmaal 4, Raid, Taanaji all are minimum 100cr movie and some may cross 200cr mark with good content….so in next 2 years he will surely replace Srk……Hrithik is also capable to replace Srk from top 5 Actors list but don’t know what he is doing, he should announce his next before Kaabil release but till now there is no news about his next……But don’t be surprise if Varun will replace Srk from 5th position, he is doing superbly well……Lets See Now……

  • Your LBO prediction of 120 Cr is damn too low…
    You should have increased it after the Excellent trending of the film …
    .1st week 100 Crores
    Jolly LLB 2 earned 28 cr in week two.
    Toilet can earn 31 Cr.
    Week 3 may add 13 Crores. And rest 10 Crores.
    Total would be 154 Crores

  • Monday is upto 13 Crores collections.
    You should have predicted above Jolly LLB but you didn’t.
    .
    Blockbuster is on cards

  • @indicine – Indicine folks with all due respect but you are completely wrong here – IMDB for TEPK is 8 plus BMS is 82% approval rating…How is Word of mouth mixed. The trending is one of the best seen by industry ever. If Monday is above 12 and Tue is again above 20, then I don’t think word of mouth is mixed. This will easily go past Raees and Rowdy Rathore. I think this can easily touch 150 now. Earlier I was myself of the opinion that it will do 130-140 crores but now we are looking at a week anywhere between 95-100 crores. Next weekend there is no big release and a weekend of 22+ is easily guaranteed. TEPK will run riot in coming days – mark my words. UP is super strong. WB it has outperformed Raees which is Srks strongest.

    120 will definitely be achieved next weekend on Sun itself.

    And people not trusting can check all the analysts on Twitter who are predicting a 12 crore Monday as bare minimum. Actuals can be even 13 :)

  • Akki the saviour of bollywood. And I appeal to all other actor’s fans to drop their actors and join box office king Akki.

  • You know what’s funny. Viewers rejects a film about brotherly love, hope, faith and they praise a film about shit, defecating in the back streets, in fields which is a common occurence on a daily basis across india. After Salman I like Akki but can never understand the mentality of the viewers utterly amazing. Its good to draw attention to the needs of the country, no problem but why would one choose shit over love and faith and hope. Strange peopke.

  • In Bollywood
    SRK has 7 movies whose footfalls are more than Akkis biggest Mohra
    .Salman has 8

    Aamir has 7

    Hrithik has 2

  • Akshay’s success proves one thing that you need to work hard & there is no shortcut of success. As an actor u have to be honest with himself & with fans also because “ye public h sab jaanti h”.

  • How is Akshay a superstar ….he has not given a single 200 crore movie i his career …I should compete with Varuna Dhawan and Ranveer Singh ….see worldwide collections of Flop JHMS and compare with worldwide collections of Hit TEPK….and don’t even think of Dangal ….his so proclaimed fantastic movie will not earn more than 120 crores ….that means not even able to beat Raees which was released in Clash ….Lol

  • TEPK is registering 10 percent more occupancy than Sunday. Sunday itself was Huge, Tue can easily be 23 crores now. 87 crores in 5 days, we are gunning for now.

  • Bold predictions from almost all trade analysts – Toilet Ek Prem Katha can collect 100 Cr in first week. I say it will do 103-105 crores to be exact. This film will bring more and more people in small towns back to theaters.

    Anything is possible now – 150 is also possible. This is simply huge
