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!

entertainment.oneindia.in/bollywood/gupshup/2012/ajay-devgn-plan-not-take-panga-shahrukh-khan-098775.html
@marz what you think is sos postponde or not

3I didnot have any compition for 4 weeks..but now ek tha tiger has to face joker..3I has won in a open market without any competition..
the amazing thing is not that ETT will cross 3I because it was gonna do it anyway but the amazing thing is that haters are still barking after all slaps they have got from ETT and salman fans……
@rocky its true 3i dont have competition..but truely speaking ett dont have good content orelse it ll eddinetely cross the 300 mark to see screens
increasing in no of screen and price hike can also affect a movie if the story is not good(that happend with RA1 and DON 2)cause increasng no of scren devides no of viewers/screen..and if price is hiken then many people would not spend else the story is good,then only..THINK ABOUT IT GUYS
Salman khan break 3 Iditos record Impossible never salman take Second birth
@Rajesh in content wise if 3I gets 80 out of 100..then ek tha tiger will get 65-70 out of hundred..but only SALMAN’s star power wil make it be able to cross 202 crores
@rocky i wish it ll break in coming weeks..
Wao sirf 22 cr baki hean tiger ko 200cr banane maen. Guys lets go to watch Ek Tha Tiger again and again.200cr record is now our hand. Lets break it
@pooja, the link i gave got published today.
@rajeash, Its better for them if they preponed the release coz in october there is no major competition.
If they want to get to 100cr club they have to preponed coz if they postponed it has to face another Big mammoth like talaash, and dabang 2
@marz yeah its better sos to release in dussera it ll get 2 or 3 weeks..i dont understanding why the hell they releasing with srk next nd salman doing item song in that..to give competition to srk..
@Rajesh, but whats the use, srk’ next is getting 4000 screens as well.
marz@ ya i read that 2 . .bt future wil tel wat wil hapen
rajes@he is nt doin item song 4 SOS 2 give competition. . He is doin 4 friendship as srk has done 4 farhah khan
@marz lets see in future what ll happen..
@pooja i agree but why at the time of srk releasing movie date..
@srk fans… the news of sos gettin preponed is all false.. its been confirmed for diwali relaese.. n the news of srk mov gettin 4000 screen is all false.. jus a fake news by srk PR… thats the exact reasonwhy everone hates srk… he jus thikns noone can compete wiht him and his PR team makes fake news… jus waitin for the big clash on diwali..
till today every prediction of boxofficeindia is 100% correct…according to boxofficeindia ek tha tiger surely lkook for 180-185 cr lifetime bussiness which is well short of 200 cr..plz check latest post in boxofficeindia…..this did not deserve it..it is salman khan ra one…worst movie…..just like ra one of srk is worst still it gross 115 cr which is highest for srk but worst movie of srk..similarly tiger is worst movie of sallu…….do this kind of bussiness only because thier name ..nothing else…….from nutral point of view both are worst…….previous three sallu film is 200% better than tiger
why you compare 3 idiot with ek tha tiger…3 idiots is once in a lifetime movie..that is why it collected 27cr after 2 weekend……..never ever compare this two…tiger is one of the worst movie i ever seen from sallu…..it is like boolywood wwe…worst acting story
ek tha tiger is shame for indian cinema…..
@film lover if u really wanted to run ur hate straegy u shud have done it before first week’s weekdays with rest ov haters now thy all have shot themselves so u r alone go to them or see ett supremacy………..
3idiots ws d film for classes n masses..multiplex nd single screen…nthng bcoz of aamir khan…d credit goes to raj kumar hirani..
Poor movie,with 2 times large release and 100% ticket price increase failed to beat 3IDIOTS,even inflation not considered.
FLOP
