3 Idiots vs Ek Tha Tiger – Detailed (Updated)

In the last few days, every second comment on our website is about Ek Tha Tiger crossing the magical 200 crore figure of 3 Idiots. While Salman fans are confident of the film joining the 200 crore club, his critics are quick to point out that Bodyguard crashed after the initial extended weekend. The neutrals believe, Ek Tha Tiger is not the most deserving film to go past an ‘all-time classic’.

Our take – box-office records are meant to be broken and 3 Idiots has held on strongly (and deservingly) to the top-spot for three years now.

As things stand today, with higher ticket prices and many more screens (almost double), Ek Tha Tiger has had a huge head-start.

So far in 10 days, the Salman Khan film has 147.6 crores in the bank. At the same stage, 3 Idiots did 90.5 crore nett.

The difference could well be the second weekend, when 3 Idiots went from strength to strength. If ETT picks up over the coming weekend, it’s very likely to cross the 202 crore mark and even surpass that by a decent margin. If it crashes, then it’s likely to shut-shop with 180-185 crore nett.

Below is a day-wise comparison between 3 Idiots and Ek Tha Tiger (will be updated everyday)

__________________________________

UPDATE: Ek Tha Tiger had a very good 2nd weekend of around 21 crores. The second Sunday business was more than double of it’s second Friday.

After 13 days, the difference between 3 Idiots (130.5 cr) and Ek Tha Tiger (178.17 cr) is still huge. It should add another 7-8 crores by Thursday, after which, the release of Joker will have a significant impact on ETT.

__________________________________

UPDATE (1st Sep): Ek Tha Tiger has dropped this week with the release of Joker. But the fact that Joker has already been rejected, gives ETT a good chance to put up better numbers on Saturday (today) and Sunday, as it should be the first choice this week too.

The film stills needs about 13.5 crores to cross 200 crores and about 15.5 to beat 3 Idiots. Difficult!

  • If Dhoom 3, Krissh 3,or Chennai Express would have released with Dabanng 2, every one would have known who is tiger and who is rat. I think Salman fans who are saying SRK’s next will not gross more than 10 crores on first should not forget what happened in Diwali 2006 & Diwali 2009 where your blockbuster khan’s film Main Aur Mrs.Khanna with a budget of could not e ven collect 10 crores lifetime against Ajay Devgn’s All the Best .Only one line to those people ‘Hum pe hasne vale pehle tu hasi to sikhle’

  • Accual figure of ett is 145cr max in first week.Yash raj give the accual figure after 2-3 weeks.Just wait.

  • So i am eager to know the website that gives the most authentic and accurate details about a movie’s collections without any bias towards any actor’s movie. sometimes i have seen even wikipedia changing its contents on a dialy basis. So, kaun sacha aur kaun jhoota?

  • Then to some people saying SRK’s have fans only in overseas, one realistic example. In 2008,SRK’s Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi rani for about 50 days in kerala & ETT is out of all the theatres in my district,eventhough currently Mohan Lal and Mammooty films are not there.

  • ett ticket price almost double of 3i and dabangg.I watch 3i and dabangg in 80 rupies and watch ett 150 rupies in same hall evening show.

  • SALMAN KHAN means ROCKSTAR. SALMAN KHAN means ENTERTAINMENT , ENTERTAINMENT & ENTERTAINMENT. SALMAN KHAN means RECORDS. Hiked ticket prices or holiday or whatever SALMAN ROCKS !! Ready was not released in Holiday period than also it proved to be a BIGGIE. SALMAN is the NUMERO UNO of Bollywood. We go to see only SALMAN . IT’s SALMANIA.

  • Really i dont want ett to cross 3idiots becas it was classic,it shud be at top always,but i hope ett to cross 200cr n short to 3idiots

  • @satyamev…boi pagal h …usne eid day ka collecn sbse km 16 cr. show kara fir baad me 18 cr. kara…ab bolo..ulta fulta show kr rhah..majority 20 cr. ki thi

  • @satyamev…abe tujhe kuch pata v h..halwa h kya…jitna collecn batayega yrf utn tax pay karega….tere hisaab se toh muvy budget v fake rehta hoga..kyun nhi ho skta 100.16 cr…news pe v galat dikha rha h bol

  • according to trade xperts…kuch rural areas aise hote h jaha se collection report nhi aata…bhut din lgte h…uska toh ahi add v nhi huwa h..

  • @satyamev…iska mtlb tu sach bol rha h…sari country jhooth bol rhi h…agar itna hi wrong figure koi dikhayega toh salman ki muvy me sirf kkya…u liar…tere hisaab se boi ..jo tu prefer kerta h usne v dabang n bodyyguard ka galat figure dikhaya hoga

  • @satyamev…agar aisahota toh koi muvu flop nhi hoti h..tuje lgta h muvy aise hi chalti h…do u kno abt cinemas…laws ….board …..baat krta h….halwa h wrong figure dikhana….aur kitna jaloge

  • lol at Salman fanatics

    YRF has documents to prove the actual collection, what they publish for brand image has nothing to do with what they pay.
    And they dnt have to pay tax on net collections but on Distributor share.

    They can easily fudge collections on daily basis which they are doing.

    Anyway,all follow BOI only, this fudging is temporary.

  • This is genral tendency of fanatics to follow sites which show higher collections.
    Last year same thing happened when EROS published 240 crore gross for Ra.One.
    Same people who were opposing that figure are now supporting the source of such fudged figures.

    But such things are temporary.

  • Compare day 9 of ett to 3i its less than 4cr..now movie will crash very badly bcs 50% screen space has been removed by theatres

  • Wowwwww

    SRK – Yash chopra Next Not Only The Romantic Movie But Also A Action Movieeeeeeee

    Now Ready For World Class Action….Like Don 2…::)))

    Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif film closes streets for stunt sequence……

    Production house Yash Raj Films has taken over four streets around Shepherds Bush to shoot a key action sequence.

    “The scene we have been shooting over the last few days plays an essential part of the story,” a production source revealed.

    “When you are filming exterior shots on public roads, the only way to do it is to close off the whole area, especially when there are stunts involved,” added the production source.

  • Its definitely very close to beat 3 idiots nd i hope it will beat. Its been a long time so now i really want this record to be broken. Good luck sallu bai.

  • Very exaggerated figures. At least 12 crore is exaggerated. Seems like this Taran Adarsh and Komal Nahta have decided that ETT should cross 200 by hook or crook. :D

    According to BOI, its 12 crore less than this exaggerated figures. In any case, it’s not going to cross 3 idiots.

    ETT was sirf “Ek Hafte Ka Tiger”

  • As who are comparing acting skills of Salman & Akshay. Review of Kyonki & Chandni Chowk to China. Kyonki : Salman could not bear the weight of the story and could not do justice to the character. CC2C: It is such a badly directed film that even Akshay Kumar could not save the film.

  • main soch rha hu karan arjun2 banane ka…isme dikhaunga ki do best frnd jo bhut bade actor..succesfull..aur bhut acche dost the..kaise alag ho jate h aur sbkuch badal jata h…..story rahegi salman shahrukh ki…i wish salman srk ki story pe koi muvy banane ka soche…
