Only two films have crossed the 300 crore mark so far: Aamir Khan – Anushka – Rajkumar Hirani’s PK and Salman Khan – Kabir Khan’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan. Salman, under Ali Abbas Zafar’s direction and Anushka as his lead heroine, will have yet another go at the 300 crore club, as his latest release ‘Sultan’ has already collected ? 181 crore in 5 days at the box office.
Release factors in favour and against all three films:
- PK (December 2014) : 3900 screens, highest average ticket price, 3 open weeks, no competition
- Bajrangi Bhaijaan (July 2015) : 4000 screens, lowest average ticket price (compared to other two), 2 open weeks, competition from Baahubali
- Sultan (July 2016) : 4350 screens, 2nd highest average ticket price, 1 open week, competition from Great Grand Masti from Week 2.
July 11 Update: At the end of 5 days, Bajrangi Bhaijaan had collected 151.05 crore, PK had collected ? 135.79 crore and Sultan has accumulated ? 180.36 crore. So, Salman Khan’s latest release is ? 29.31 crore ahead of Bajrangi Bhaijaan and a whopping ? 44.57 crore ahead of PK. Interestingly, the highest single day of Sultan was lower than the highest single day of both Bajrangi Bhaijaan and PK!
On Day 6, PK collected ? 19.55 crore, while Bajrangi Bhaijaan notched up ? 18.05 crore. Both were working weekdays. But since Sultan had a extended 5-day weekend, during which business was at a very high level throughout, it’ll be interesting to see where Monday finishes for Sultan.
We’ll be analysing the trend over the next few days. Even if Sultan collects about half of what PK collected after its first 5 days, the film will cross the 300 crore mark. If it matches pace and collects as much as PK did, then it’ll get close to the unbelievable 400 crore mark! If it collects as well as Bajrangi Bhaijaan, it’ll be the highest grosser of all time and cross the 350 crore mark!
July 12 Update: Sultan has collected Rs 15.54 crore on its 6th day at the box office, which is the same as what Bajrangi Bhaijaan collected on its 7th day. The reduction in multiplex ticket prices, along with a majority of audience watching the film in the first extended weekend itself – meant that the film had a ‘bigger-than-expected’ drop on Monday. At the end of the 6th day, Bajrangi Bhaijaan had collected 169.1 crore, while PK had collected 163.34 crore. Sultan is ahead of BB by 26.8 crore and PK by 32.56 crore. The gap with PK has reduced quite considerably and should decrease further tomorrow, because the Christmas holiday was on the 7th day of its run.
From the first Monday collections of Sultan – one thing is clear, the 400 crore mark is now beyond the reach of the film and even becoming the highest grosser of all time could prove to be difficult. However, it does have a good chance of crossing the 300 crore mark and even challenging the lifetime business of Bajrangi Bhaijaan (possibly even PK, if picks up in the 2nd weekend). The release of Great Grand Masti won’t have a big impact on Sultan, but on a lower level, it will definitely make a small dent on business – because a section of the audience will have a choice to make and the repeat audience at smaller centres could also reduce.

now i think DHOOM3 will be tough for Sultan……..forget 300Cr,BB and PK
Come on indicine, stop degrading pk’s achievements, it didn’t collected that much becoz of hiked ticket prices, christmas, new year blah blah blah. It is the highest grosser of all time becoz it deserves to be. Just becoz u r a fan of salman, u wanna prove that aamir’s stardom is a no match for salman.
And tell me one more thing, who on earth gets a five day extended weekend with eid holidays in full swing. You praise salman as if he has collected this much in a non festive season. Do you really think the result have been different if Dangal would have released on eid?? The other two khans are equally capable like salman in breaking opening records if they release their films on eid.
I’m happy SULTAN collection, SULTAN beat pk or not Coz I’m expected earlier only 280cr because Sport film. Second week crucial for SULTAN.
@fanpk:
Pk hai kya??? When did CE collected over 100cr on opening weekend??? Even according to Laal Mirch calculator counted figures it collected 93cr on opening weekend.
If the makers of SULTAN would have used Laal Mirch calculator then it’s 3days collections would have been over 130cr. Remember how it made 45cr from 36cr (hny opening day) and 108cr from 93cr (hny weekend).
According to you even Kangna can give 100cr in festiv weekend. But your duniya ka sabse bada superstar failed to touch even 80cr mark on Ram navami cum Mahavir jayanti festive season. So according to your logic Kangna>>>>>global king. Right???
Still have chance to beat Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Pk record.
I think YRF r reducing collections bcz they will have to give salman in share, one of Salman said in comment that trade r showing 16 n yrf will definitely show 15 crs and here is the Result…. plz Salman don’t do movies again with YRF they r playing dirty game with u… they r hiding money.
@javeda:
Bhai movies (BB, SULTAN etc) are expected to beat pk record. And global king movies are expected to surpass 100cr mark (eg- billu2). Smell the difference…hahaha.
@Javed lol at u but HNY hadn’t collected 5 back to back 30s.
Haha despite good WOM, He will still remain behind amir khan’s records…! PK was criticised a lot for its content and bjrngi was appreciated a lot so does sultan but still PK > Sultan> BB
Amir khan is official father of Salman…!
Earlier, I used to say The most insecure actor is SRK n his fan following but now I realized that Aamir n his fans are The most insecures….
SRK k fans bhi yahi kehte the par ham log ko samajh mein bilkul bhi nahi ata tha par ab samajh mein agaya ke Aamir aur uske fans hamesha upar se hi salman aur uske fans ko pasand karte hai actually andar se wo log Salman aur uske fans se Jalte hain…
jab bhi Salman aur SRK ki baat hoti hai aamir ki jal jati hai usi tarah jab bhi koi salman ki movie chalti hai Aamir k fans ki fatt ti bhi hai aur jalti bhi hai.

first week 9days 233 crore
second week. 75 crore
remaining week. 40 crore
total life time. 348 crore
I have seen great grand masti!!! courtesy the internet leak.. it will have no impact on sultan.. ggm is a total crap with no humour and bakwaas story of chudail and haunted house.. nobody will see and it will flop on first day.. if Indians are mad then only they will watch ggm
Yaha b hoga waha b hoga
Ab to saare jaha m hoga
Bhai ka jalwahhhhhhhhh………
I think we should all respect facts. Aamir khan has pushed bo limits and crossed boundaries all the time .people talk about akshay that he will give 100 cr grossers in one year if rustom does 100 cr. But no is realising that salman has given 3 200 plus grossers in less than 12 months. If this is not superstardom i wonder what is.
hmm wat bullshit hmm add all three movie collection nd seen diffrence of amount first thing sultan is far away from pk nd bb on 6 day comparision basis hmm nd if kick was earn 35 corore in second weekend so simple mathmatics atleast 40 corore earn by sultan by second weekend simply u get result ny how minimum film touch 350 corore net only from india
Monday-15.5
Tuesday-13.5
Wednesday-12
Thursday-10
Friday-7 (there is a new release – Grand Masti)
Saturday-12 to 15
Sunday-11 to 13
70 to 75 crores by this weekend.
So, total by this weekend could be around 270.
Lifetime – 290 cr………or it could be touch and go 300 cr……if weekends performs better.
Everything depends on viewers.
Hey Salmaniacs, after a hardwork of 2 hours I have found a formula to predict lifetime collection of Sultan. This formula calculates the collection of film from 2nd weekend onwards and depends on it’s first thursday collection. It also depends upon trending of film. There are three formulae assuming trending like each of BB, PK and D3. You can make variation in it like averaging the 3.
So, the formula is
Lifetime collection = Constant X Thursday collection + Week 1 collection.
That constant depends on the assumption about trending.
For trending like
BB constant = 8.4025
PK constant = 8.235
D3 constant = 6.105
For example:
Let it collects 234 cr. in week 1 and assume it’s thursday collection are 11 cr. Then in each case of trending it will collect
PK 234 + 8.235X11 = 324.485
BB 234 + 8.4025X11 = 326.455
D3 234 + 6.105X11 = 301.115
These formulae I have found after analysing the percentage drop on each day of these 3 films.
Note:-
PK and D3 had new year holidays ahead but I brought them to normal level and then calculated.
I have not made any assumption about GGM’s affect on it.
Indicine, what do you think about this?
Pk and Dhoom3 Had enhanced Ticket Rates throughout the 1st week…Dats y Monday Collections Above 20cr…Sultan ticket price is less on weekdays..Aamir makes Lifetym records..But Salman is d biggest crowd puller..Footfalls of BB and Sultan >>>> Dhoom3 and Pk for sure..
Wont do 300crs…likh k lelo
Prediction
Week 1 229crs
Week 2 45 crs max
Week 3 20crs
Lt 297crs
Assuming it drops 10 % with each passing day it’s week 1 collection will be 233.9 cr. while it’s thursday will be 11.33 cr. So assuming a trending average of each BB, pk and D3 it’s life time collection will be
233.9 + 11.33X(8.4025+8.235+6.105)/3 = 319.8 cr.
If it has to crss PK then should atleast do 11.5 cr. on thursday and should trend very close to BB.
ha ha ha ha
Lag gaye 440 volt phultan ke collection pe….
Monday Break!!!!!bhojpureans shock!!!!!
I challenged also Phultan is nothing but a mahacrap.but it’s over hyped by paid media,paid distributors over hyped it as a great movie and misguided/forced audience to watch this mahacrap.
phultan is a mahacrap not a good movie like bb.but why it’s over hyped because no there was no major hit occurred in 1st half.taht’s why distributors are fearing like he and gives blind review about mahacrap phultana nd over hyped it.
And in Monday it’s crashed completelg because phultan is not a kabir Papa film nor it’s A Harshali Malhotra starrer film in which sallu supported Her,that’s why phultan crashed on Monday,rofl.
Before some days I challenged that sallu will always remain recordless and always will remain a tiny star compared to KING SRK,today that’s proved completely.
so phultan crashed on Monday,rofl….
Now I can say HNY is BIGGER HIT than phultan on any ways which critically thrashed but phultan critically paid to be praised,rofl.
See how 2 YEAR EARLIER HNY
HNY’S OPENING>>>>>>>>>>>>>>phultan opening
HNY’S OPENING>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>phultan weekend
HNY’S MONDAY COLLECTION(15CR,WHICH TODAY IS ESTIMATED AS 20CR)>>>>>>>>>>>>>phultan collection ‘s Monday’s 15cr collection.
but phultan’s lifetime will more than HNY because it got 2 EID+EID BENEFITTED DAYS(FRI+SAT),SUNDAY.
HENCE PROVED HNY IS BIGGEST HIT than phultan excluded all benefits even though critically thrashed.
That’s called TRUE MEGASTARDOM OF THE BADSHAH OF BOLLYWOOD.
THANKS TO RAEES BHAI for not COMING IN EID,warna becharaa phultan khudkushi kar leta,rofl.
TODAY IT’S PROVED sallu always remain tinniest and decade struggler flopstar among THE KHANS.
BIGGEST OPENING —-KING SRK (RECORD HOLDER)
LIFETIME —-AMIR KHAN (RECORD HOLDER)
recordless—-sallu KHAN
BEST ACTOR OF THE YEAR—-KING SRK AS CAN
HGOTY of the year—-PERFECTIONIST AMIR’S DANGAL
walk will remain as always recordless khan,rofl.strugglinv since 1994 (22 years) for an ATHG,ROFL.
MEGASTAR KING SRK RULES BOLLYWOOD SINCE 1992 TO FOREVER.
Mark my words
PK will be a history
@tiger what your’s views on recent BOI top ten ww grosser dilwale at 6th place and solo relised prdp with at 7th place and you clam that srk frightened with eid clash ??? aaj kal bhalai ka jamana nhi hai instead of gratitude fans show attitude ..
Kick collected 68 cr. after it’s first week. Even if we expect the same from Sultan then it will easily collect 300 cr. So, don’t worry Salmaniacs, it will easily do 310 cr. with a chance to cross BB. Honestly I feel that PK is out of reach now unless it shows tremendous hold on weekdays and grows faster than BB on 2nd and 3rd weekend.
Good movie great collection but sorry to say that 350/400 cr club will be opened by only authorized club opener( u know what i mean)
If SRK had done this film, it would have collected 200 crs in 5 days 120 crs in 1st weekend n 260 crs in 1st extended wknd n finally 400 crs in lifetime…… bcz
SRK have Red Chillies Calculator…. which he used for HNY n CE.
