Of the several records that Ek Tha Tiger has broken over the last 8 days, the Salman Khan starrer is also the fastest...

Ek Tha Tiger – Second Blockbuster of 2012

Ek Tha Tiger is now officially the second blockbuster of 2012. The film has absolutely shattered all box-office records – including those on the much-dreaded weekdays. Infact, what has come as a complete surprise for the trade, is the Tuesday collections (16.31), which is higher than Thursday (14.52) and Friday (12.9)  and almost as good as Saturday (16.75). These are jaw-dropping figures for working days.

Ek Tha Tiger Records – Box office

Before the release of Ek Tha Tiger, we published an article on the records that the Salman Khan film chases. Barely 6 days after it’s theatrical release, it’s time to look back and see which of those records were broken. First day : Agneepath’s 21 crore record was absolutely destroyed by Ek Tha Tiger on the opening day of it’s release. We expected anything in the range of 26-28 crores, but ETT did 31.25 crore nett! Biggest day : Even if you include collections from the regional versions of Ra One, Ek Tha Tiger quite comfortably surpassed the biggest day in history, once again by a huge margin.

Ek Tha Tiger 5 day Box Office Collections

Ek Tha Tiger is likely to fall agonisingly short of the 100 crore mark after 5 days at the box-office in India. Early estimates suggest that the film has crossed 20 crores on Sunday, taking the 5 day total to Rs 98 crore nett. Ek Tha Tiger 5 Day Box Office Collections Wednesday - 33 crores (31.25) Thursday – 14.5 crores (14.5) Friday – 13 crores (12.12) Saturday – 16.75 crores (15.75) Sunday – 23.1 crores (20.5) Total – 100.1 crores (94.12) Note: Since some have asked us to include Boxofficeindia figures, we have put them in brackets. The other figure is official (except the 5th day estimate)
