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!

  • Srk proved that why he is the king of bollywood!! 100 cr in 3 days is really awesome. Surely it wil collect more than 3 billion world wide

  • Reson to rejoice. All the best, to Chennai Express, SRK and his lovers [fans].

    I too, will watch the film soon along with my family, which will further add up to its collections.

    Not even in my dreams, I have imagined, such a hungomous figure, within 3 days + Paid Preview.

    SRK, is master of modern day marketing [along with Amir Khan], and one should take a note of the marketing skills from him, in whatever field they are working. I salute his level of energy, at which marketing of Chennai Express was done by him.

    Rest, I can sum up: Chennai Express – SRK = Average Film. This statement is tribute to the mega star.

  • @ saurabh : Congrats, what is in fighting, today records is of X tomorrow it will of Y, but we fans fight for our beloved stars.

    One thing, I must tell you, there should be humbleness in winning. Because the side in which earlier Salman was sitting was taken by SRK [well desrved, too], but tomorrow it might be taken by anyone.

    So rejoice the moment, but not humilialte others. Make others too, also, party to your celebration.

  • @Rizwan…First lets see if chennai express domestic collections goes higher than yjhd…if its not then your labelled “king” is not even better than ranbir…also, after krish3 and dhoom3, your king will disappear again like it was since ghajini released 5 years ago….enjoy the moment nevertheless

  • I am really confused why there is difference between figures of ce published by box office india and utv even wikipidia is showing that the fifst day collection is 29 crs which one to trust?

  • The First 3 Day Comparison Between ETT and Chennai Express ::

    ETT In India — 60 Cr.
    CE In India — 100.42 Cr.

    ETT In Overseas — 29 Cr
    Ce In Overseas — 45-50Cr.

    ETT Worldwide After 3 days nett — 89 Cr(gross 107cr)

    CE Worldwide After 3Days nett — 155 Cr(gross 180-185cr).

    CE Not Just Beats The Record Of ETT.., Infact It Crushed The Record with Almost a Margin Of 80%.

  • this will be the first n last srk movie to have made records.. in a career span of 23 years this is the first time srk has made some records that too for a few days only :p i still have doubts over his stardom.. this time rohit shetty, deepika padukone n eid came to his rescue.. just one big hit does not changes anything for me.. salman khan single handedly carries the film on his shoulders.. same cannot be said about srk.. let salman khan come next year.. first he will make all srk fans “MENTAL” n then he will “KICK” all of u out of the universe :D till then have a good time! its ur first time srk has made some records so u may celebrate whereas we are used to make n break records..

  • Now I realy feel my name gewone :D . i have wings and SRK makes me fly so high

    i love u so so so much my king, always have, always will

    and BTW boxoffice records are just a slap 4 those ppl who judge movies only by numbers, not by value, a slap 4 ur haters

    but your fans will love you always with records or without

    long life my king, king of every thing whatever it was ‘ hearts, romance , bollywood boxoffice or the world’

    u always makes me feel so proud of u.

    god bless u

  • Monday collections will be crucial to know whther the movie will just break 3 idiots record or create history with 300 crores!!

  • What is the actual collection?
    Acoding to BOI collection is 85crore and indicine is 100 crore.
    Which one is Real?

  • good movie,good acting,good directing and excellent collections by this speed chennai express will reach mars in coming days

  • @dxt namm

    Are you so jealous to say Rohit, Deepika & Eid came to SRK’s rescue ?
    A superstar with such magnitude who’s been twice as long in the industry needs to be rescued ?
    It would then be right to say that ETT was a success because of YRF, Katrina, Action genre ?
    Kindly try to make the least sense the next time you comment :)

    @Niks

    We’ll be there to support Krishh 3 & Dhoom 3.
    But I wonder will Salman have any records left by the time these two arrive.

  • With 40% hike in ticket prices this was bound to happen & i don’t think the movie deserves this kind of attention………….. Izzat kamani hai toh 3 idiots ki taraah kamao, paise to Chennai Express bhi kamati hai :)

  • There’s nothing more to prove.. Even in his so called lowest phase of his career Srk was constatly giving 100+ movies.. Whereas Salman delivered 7 flops in a row (yuvraj, mr. &mrs khanna , veer , god tussi great ho etc) …. Then SK discovered his mojo by doing masala pot boilers and tasted maximum success domestic (overseas no one could ever challege srk).. Now SRK has done a masala film and the results are for everyone to see.. Beating sallu in his own game … Victory never tasted so sweet.. Even if in coming times Sallu manage to break CE records (I know not going to happen but for argument sake)he will never get near the global collections of CE.. Srk rocks

    Earlier in early 90’s Srk was pitted against Aamir and sallu den late nineties with Hrithik and den due to lack of competion Amitabh bachhan.. Den Aamir again den Akshay and now Salman. Its for everyone to notice SRk has been the only permanent barometre of comprasion.. Give it to him guys (even the haters) he deserves it .. He’s the sumpreme one the biggest bollywood will ever have…

    Even wen Great Sachin walks in to bat the pressure on hi is to score a 100 but with Srk 100cr is not enuff he’s expected to cross the higgest 202 cr (3 idiots) and with dis he seems to hv broken dem all .. Love u Srk..

  • srk fans are overexcited becoz finally srk got clean superhit after rab ne….talking masala movies most of srk crap&non-sense romantic movies masala only…..more credit should go to rohit shetty for giving much needed superhit….srk alwsys work reputed directors and lands in safe zone…..chennai exp is a crap film

  • @ indicine wait for happy new year..dhoom3 is a hit franchise and last 2 films were smash hit..no doubt dhoom3 will do record breaking business.. if srk act in dhoom3 then imagine the collection..don’t worry..just wait for don3.

  • Wow our King khan did it ce 100cr in just 3 days wow new record has been created now to all sallu fans tell your madras copycat Salman to break those records of ce and other heroes Amir Ranbir or hrithik akshay fans also but they won’t because is record ko todna mushkil hi nahi name mumkin hai hahaha….
