Bang Bang vs Chennai Express: Box Office Collection Comparison

Bang Bang has collected Rs 94.13 crore in its first extended weekend at the box office, which is about 10% lower than the first 4 days collections of Shahrukh Khan’s 2013 Eid release Chennai Express.

Quick points on the release circumstances of the two films

  • Chennai Express released on 3500 screens in India, while Bang Bang has released on 4300 according to Fox Star Studios.
  • Chennai Express released on the holiday for Eid considered to be one of the best periods for film releases. Bang Bang released about 3 weeks before Diwali and during the the Navratri period, which is not considered to be the best time to release films.
  • Chennai Express had a solo release, Bang Bang released alongside Haider which released on 1250 screens in India.
  • Both films were commercial entertainers with two of the most bankable male and female stars in the country (domestic business only).
  • Chennai Express trended very well and went on to be one of the biggest grossers of all time. It could probably have been even bigger if not for the release of Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobaraa the following week.

  • @ARJUN KAPOOR
    Now it is enough..
    It has already crossed talash,will cross jai ho n raone in 2 days from now…
    Get lost u idiot

    BB will cross Ek villain n 2 States by today…

  • Just looking at the CE’s daywise collections…
    How easy it looks to get into 200crs club..but it is certainly not.

  • You forgot to mention one more thing. For Bang Bang , starting four days were holidays/semi-holidays. None of the recent biggies has enjoyed such a huge beneficial period at Box office. Even Monday was a semi holiday in most of the parts of country. Question is not about the first four days collection of Bang Bang, but the main worry is, the way it trended on Saturday and Sunday I’m afraid if it could recover it’s cost I.e. 140 cr. Still wishing good luck to Bang Bang so that at least it should get a semi hit status if not hit or BB.

  • @Arjun Kapoor: You are a khan fan in disguise as HR fan…Dont fool HR and Khan fans with your illogical comments. BB is a universal acclaimed movie earning 175 crores in 4 days , inspite of lot negativity around it…Though it may get a Hit status by end of its run ,due to its budget. It is really a bloackbuster movie for HR fans…

    There is nothing wrong in comparing it with big films…

  • @arjun kapoor u idiot make some sense before u speak ……..bang is a mass entertainer at par if not better then kick and chennai express

  • wat a big deal if happy new year becomes 1st 300 cr movie.are bhai hamare king ko bhi toh koi record banane do.sare records toh Amir n Salman k naam hai box office collection k.like 1st 50cr,100cr,150,200,250 all.n even in abroad Aamir hold the records.so ye ll b happy if our king make some record and hold it for a long time.n plz Srk fans dnt say that ddlj record.everyone knows how that is making it.n u agree or not bt it’s true that in ddlj success Srk contribution was not that great.it was music n story that made movie blockbuster bcoz at the time of release both kajol n Srk was small stars.that movie made them not they made the movie.

  • @Hardik, consult a doctor, buddy. WE are happy to see movies with universal appeal rather than watching same type of movies again and again.

    AAMIR IS AAMIR,SRK MY FOOT.

  • It is an interesting comparison . CE broke all records in 2013 . The movie released on Eid one of the most profitable festival periods . Bang Bang released on Gandhi Jayanti . Bang Bang released with a clash . So let’s see how far can Bang Bang go ? I really want Bang Bang to collect 200 CR . Fingers crossed .

  • I request my fellow srk fans to not anticipate 300cr for hny because 150cr should be sufficient,i know ce was a fluke though i am a big fan of him

  • oops, this is not fair comparison. CE is different genre. To be honest, it was a pleasant surprise that CE did so well . We like 2 see SRK more in CDI, swades, MNIK, KHNH, veer-zara… type movies…

    Waiting eagerly for FAN & Raees but will watch HNY just for Sharukh though it is not the kind of movie I generally prefer…

  • If ce was released during christmas,it would have crossed 300cr
    This half hero is too shaatir chaalaak,he always books chirstmas slot,otherwise he is zero.

  • @hardik why are you bringing aamir’s name every time? oh I forgot your very jealous because he is far ahead of not only your satr but all Bollywood star!!! Calm down babby. srk is also dependent on YRF?Dharma/Rohit.

  • @hardik…….if hr nd amir dont have loyal fan base,why producers invest on them???two costliest movie of bollywood is dhoom 3 and bang…..and two highest earner movie is dhoom 3 and krish 3…so just stop bullshit cooment

  • Chennai Express still holds weekend records in Mumbai, Nizam, Mysore, TN. Dhoom 3 failed to beat CE IN THESE. #HNY should break them.

  • collections of last bo failure starring top 10 stars

    srk ra.one 115cr
    sallu jai ho 112cr
    aamir taalash 95cr
    akki entertainment 70cr
    ajay satyagrah 60cr
    rk besharaam 58cr
    saif humshakals 5cr
    arjun fanny 35cr
    sahid phata poster 32cr
    ranveer lootera 30cr
    and
    hrithik bang bang 110cr+ in 5 days

    hit films does gd percentage of big business bcz of content but flop films earns most of its money bcz of stardom of hero.
    this list clearly shows hro has given highest grossing film among bo failures.

    so hro is the no.1 star of Bollywood right now

  • @sky if jai ho released with d3 then it might have collected 125 cr. if singham return released with kick then kick would have done only 110 cr. even I reduced first 6 days of ce collection (130 cr) still it did 97 cr with competition from otimd, madras cafe, satyagraha etc.
