Chennai Express Box Office Collections: Fastest to 100 crores!

Chennai ExpressShahrukh Khan’s Chennai Express has completed a century in double quick time, as the film entered the 100 crore club in 3 days (plus paid previews) at the Indian box office. The previous record was held by Salman Khan’s Ek Tha Tiger which took 5 days to collect Rs 100 crores.

According to the official figures released by UTV Motion Pictures, Chennai Express has collected Rs 32.5 crore on Sunday to take its weekend total to a mind-boggling 100.43 crore at the domestic box-office.

In doing so, Chennai Express has also broken the following records.

  • Highest Paid Previews – 6.75 crore
  • Highest Opening Day and Friday collections – 33.12 crore
  • Highest Second Day and Saturday collections – 28.06 crore
  • Highest Third Day and Sunday collections – 32.5 crore
  • Fastest to 100 crore and the first time ever to reach the milestone in the first weekend itself.

Clearly records have tumbled and Shahrukh Khan has reigned supreme at the box office once again. The previous highest collections over a 3 day period was held by Dabangg 2 which collected Rs 65 crore. Even if the paid preview collections are not included, Chennai Express still managed to collect Rs 93.68 crore from Friday to Sunday – 44% higher than the previous best!

  • @indicine. . I told u that it had chance 2 cross 100cr in 3 days nd’ see ce did it. . . Nw’ fastest 2 100 cr record will be unbroken for next decade(only assumption. . It may b broken b’fore also) cuz’ 50 cr per day looks impossible fr next few years. . So ce is on a roll. . Really there is no word lyk impossible in srk’s dictionary cuz’ salman fans said that only salman can break his 5days(others cnt reach also in 5days sum said) century record bt’ srk did it with 2days in his hand. . So srk in his home doing well thau dnt’ see worldwide its unimaginable. . Chennai exp has made paths for itself. . Get on the train baby. . Nd’ lungi dance all the b’town fans dnt’ miss the chance. . Po!!!!!

  • Ok fine haters I know u ll start barking about eid and all. so lets compare the first Sunday of all with respective screen count

    Eik Tha Tiger 3300 Screens 22 Crores

    Dabbang 2 4000 Screens 25 crores

    CHENNAI
    EXPRESS 3500 Screens 32.5 Crores

    Ha ha ha ha ha. whose the bigger star. even a dumb ll answer

  • @indicine. I was just wondering what ll happen if the second week was clear like it was DABBANG 2 AND ETT . ( though ett had 4 clear weeks)
    guess would easily score about 225 crores net in Indian boxoffice.

  • the movie has…comedy ,action,romance,naach gana,emotions…wht els u want yaar..sab bhul gaya movie k baad jo probs thi..bollywood knwn 4 these kinds of movies..and people proved again that only these kind of movies can break records..from past few years srk was nt able to produce BB coz they wer not a commercial movies..bt these tym he did..and u can see the result..

  • A higher figure on a Sunday shows that the film has been well accepted. So CE needs to do what it did in the last 3 days to break the record set by 3 idiots. It’s possible, it would have been more possible if it had a 2 week free run.

  • i jst feel like running naked on the crowded road shouting ..lungi dance..lungi dance…:D
    havent felt this happy in a long tym..thank u shahrukh..we all love u a lot

  • @INDICINE-can you please tell us the collections from nepal?i m a die hard bollywood fan frm nepal and just want to know the collections of #chennaiexpress frm nepal?please do reply..waiting

  • Srk is no1 again.!!! When salmans ek that tiger released there were n releases for a month till barfi! And when dabangg 2 released the next release was a month later on 26th jan-race2 whereas jthj clashed with SOS and in august, plenty of biggies are releasing. So all salman fans before worshipping ur idol, ask him to clash with another biggie and then check the collections. King khan surf ek hai. Sirf chulbul naam hone se koi dabangg nahi ban jaata! :P

  • SRK is the real thalaiva :)

    All others were doing masala till now and getting one record here and there.. n then the king decides to a original masala film and the result is known to everyone.

    SRK is youtube king, twitter king hahahaha… LOL on haters..

  • I want all these srk fans on indicine when krrish 3 & Dhoom 3 release bcoz they have totally forgotten the creator of 100cr & 200 cr club ACE KHAN so i humbly request all of you to be present on 25th Dec & 3rd NOV

  • @all SRKians are you guys satisfied???? Hell No……next target 100cr in 2 days….Happy New Year…bring it on…….

  • Its gigantic..mammoth!!!!!
    Cant describe it in mere words…
    Dont ever dare to challenge srk whethr in domestic as well as overseas..
    Now if u hav guts then prove it guys, i mean prove ur bones if u dare..
    Friends now onwards my username ll be ‘San’

  • and just to add one more point – this film has 0% nudity, double meaning dialogues etc..

    u can watch it with ur dad, mom, grand father, grand mother, son, daughter etc

    even the item song was so classy n respectable n nice that my uncle was having so much watching it..n he said this is how a real item song should be.. awesome King khan SRK.

  • It’s king real power. He is consistent delivering various types of movie from 22 years and he is a creative person thts why after huge masala blockbuster om shanti om he gave his fans something new (i.e- chak de, my name is khan, rab ne bana di jodi… Etc..) not like others who always run for money, cheat their fans and repeat same types of movie to earning money and sustain their top spot at the box office.

    I want to ask haters If u go 5 year back then u find at that time when srk’s movies were earning a huge 50 – 80 crore and films from other stars used to collect hardly 15 – 20 crore where were you all??

    “don’t underestimate the power of king khan” respect him and his work

  • Dabangg 2 Weekend (3 Days) – 64.5 crore
    Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (3 Days) – 62 crore
    Ek Tha Tiger (3 Days) – 60 crore
