Chennai Express has passed the Monday test, as the film was steady all over collecting 12.62 cr at the domestic box office. Major cities had normal drops, while single-screens in smaller centres fell by around 70%. But in today’s time the contribution from single-screens is lesser than 20% even for major films that do well universally, so the Shahrukh Khan starrer remained unaffected on its first weekday.
However, Chennai Express failed to beat the highest non-holiday Monday record, which belongs to Ranbir Kapoor’s Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (Rs 12.7 cr). Its the first record the film has failed to beat since its release last weekend.
The Rohit Shetty directed film has already collected Rs 113.05 crore in 4 days and is likely to do business of around 133-135 cr in its first 6 days (including paid previews). Chennai Express then has a major competitor in Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobaara, which is scheduled to release in theatres on Independence Day.
It remains to be seen what sort of impact the release of OUATIMD has. The number of shows and screens that the film manages to hold on to, will also decide if it can sustain well enough to cross the 200 crore mark!
- Paid Previews – 6.75 crore (record)
- Friday – 33.12 crore (record)
- Saturday – 28.06 crore (record)
- Sunday – 32.5 crore (record)
- Monday – 12.62 crore (2nd highest non-holiday, 3rd highest overall)
- Total – 113.05 crore
my god yaar ek din hua nai ki haters ki zubaan chalo ho gai pehle apne lallu panju ko bol 100 crore kama ke dikaye 3 din me jab YJHD ne 62 cr weekend ka col krke 180 cr kama liya toh lode Chennai Express ne toh 100 crore ka kia hai soch kitna kamaiye
D3 is multi starrer film amir kat abhi nd uday nd yrf banner..
Salman sirf eid pe hi kyun release karta tha
Kya india mein sirf muslim community hi film dekhti hai kya.
As monday is working day in india,CE didn’t well on monday.After all SRK is a real king.
CE 200cr kare ya 300cr. but nobody is going to remember this movie. movie is very bad. bollywood best movie is 3idiots. Raju hirani is best director. I also like his munna bhai series. but CE is overrated movie and indian audience is fool
The biggest drop like every SRK Movie does. Its proven now after 5 movies that SRK has limited fan following and they all see movie on weekend. Post weekend SRK movies can not perform.
Tuesday : 9cr
Wed : 5cr
Thursday : 7cr
Friday : 2 cr
Sat : 3 cr
Sun : 3.5cr
And remaining weekdays : 3cr
So total 2 weeks will be 146
I think it can not cross dabaang collection.
Are yaar chota bache ko bhi patha hai king khan kise kehte hai…. ekhi type movie bina competition ke har sal release karke 150 crore kamana star nahi kehlathi. King khan tho Srk hai kyunki ajay devgan ka masala movie se romance movie release karke 120crores earn karna yeh huyi Asli king ka style!!. Ra one(scifi), don2(action thriller), JTHJ(romance), Chennai express (masala)- yeh sare movies 100crores kardi…Koi bhi khan mein ye dum nahi hai sirf Srk ke power hai. Aamir khan ki talaash solo release 100 crore bhi nahi kamai..this is his status. Dhoom series tho already hit franchise hai…isme aamir ko credit nahi dena chahiye
..
CE BUDGET 70CR MAKING+20CR PUBLICITY+SRK FEE 50 CR= TOTAL 140 CR
CE 4 DAY INCOME,48CR SATELLITE RIGHT+7 CR MUSIC RIGHT+ WORLDWIDE 170 CR = TOTAL 220 CR
ITS SRKS CARRIER BEST MOVIE
BUT YJHD, ETT, DHOOM 3 MAY BE SAVE
WAIT FOR “MENTAL” TO COME….250 CRORE COLLECTION…..
We have spoken earlier about how the film industry considers Monday as the most dreadful day as far as business is concerned. Most Bollywood movies see a major drop in their BO collections on ‘Khooni Mondays’ and the case with Chennai Express was no different.
Mondays, we say, is the true litmus test for any film. In fact, the research done by our team shows that the average drop in business for most films on Mondays in 2013 has been in the range of 50-55%. However, in the case of films like Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Aashiqui 2, it saw exceptionally low drop in business at 42% and 43% respectively. So what happened in case of SRK’s Chennai Express?
Well, shockingly, despite all the hype and hoopla, SRK’s Chennai Express saw the highest drop in BO collections on Monday. Even though the film collected Rs. 12.62 cr on Monday, it shows a drop of 61.17% as compared to its Sunday collections.
Wait and watch bro what happens.. i enjoyed ce more than 3i.. Its record express
@dsf. check with official ak productions and Indicine. its 4000 screens
sachin 11 and navin had famous ly said it would 250 CRORES in India. lol
what happened it arrested at 156 CRORES.
wait and watch picture to abhi bakhi hai mere dost
@rockyfaltu… as your name suggest your comments r faltu too. Srk king khan hai bhai….kisi bhi genre ki film ko 100 crores cross kar saktha hai…the movie which crossed 100crores in 3 days n collecting 12.5 on monday is flop for u????. You idiot. I can sense you r frustrated as king khan rocked indian bo while given only one chance of Eid but this also proved all the salman khan starrer are nothing for king khan if he just think of breaking records.
When ETT drops by 60 percent from the first day its Ok for SALMAN fans.
when’s DABBANG 2 never fails to take off even after having 4000 screens and 4 open weeks. its wow for them
and when Chennai express after creating Havoc at boxoffice and Indicine clearly mentions it has passed the Monday test. still they r not satisfied
actually its not their fault. king SRK has always set high standards
and plz don’t hide under krish3 and DHOOM3.
lets see what SALMAN can do with mental and kick
I really pity these illiterate fans
agar srk ko koi bura kahta hai to iska matlab ye nahi ki wo salman ka fan hai.. nd agle eid ye record todega salman fastest 100 cor ka
@Romance Express good article on weekend collections records which you have provided really you have done good job ob bringing such facts on srks records
Some are saying its a crappiest movies but see srk is not an illiterate he has so much experience in his field he always stands aside on meaningful cinema and make experimental roles like in RNBJ,MNIK and also action roles like Ra one,Don it was after OSO he has done some masalsa movie that too with the comedy craper director Rohit so its directors isthyle
one of the above one said that we indians are fools to watch this type of stuff so in US,Uk did movies like American pie,Scary movies has done great business so how there are fools throughout the world to watch such worst sleazy entertainers here its just mindless comedy entertainers so dont talk on just indians where in the other parts of the world there were big fools in your version but in my version its all entertainment
Come thursday collection will be fantastic again…I still have high hope of 200 cr business in india…
3idiots success breakdown.50% due to wonderful script and best direction.30% due to the roles played by madhavan sharman and boman,i think the trio did the best job of the movie.one can not imagine the movie without the three.they were solely responsible for making the movie wonderful.10% to omi vaidya because he was the one beacuse of which 3 idots is a comedy movie.5% to photography,release time genre(education and cricket just sells in india),locations etc.now where is aamir khan?.i dont find any significant contribution of him in the movie.teh actor is just cashing on the success of 3 idiots since 3 years.and will continue to(lets see what d3 can do)
@Noam , ru mad ? Dabangg 2 ws released in 3500 screens in india and 450 screens in overseas , so total is max 4000 screens worldwide ..no single hindi film has released in 4000 screens alone ..please contact doctor noam .
Aacha 200 cr……tumhare uncle ya Chadha ya mama karenge Kya CE ko 3Idiots se aage….Lol…..OUATIMD will will strike big from 15th Onwards……..Max 160Cr for CE…..3idiots record is safe…..Cause SRK’S fans have already seen it by Monday……So no more record breaks…..AKSHAY COMING DIS INDEPENDENCE DAY…..By d way advance booking for Thursday status is that WAVE Cinemas…..first Day 3 shows already booked for OUATIMD….100% occupancy for OUATIMD
This was not the real test But the real test was when OUATIMD Release and also WOM of OUATIMD so until then wait and watch
total 4 days collection: CE Vs ETT Vs YJHD
CE – 113 crs
ETT-77crs
YJHD-75crs
A difference of 36 crs after getting a extended 5 days weekend from Yashraj banner being a solo release ? So i think salman should compete with ranbir rather than SRK.
Atleast ETT was a solo hero movie. But what about YJHD? Aditya Roy Kapur’s second blockbuster movie after Aashiqui 2 ?
At least in YJHD, ranbir was the main hero. But what about 3 Idiots ?
Aamir khan fans are forgetting 3 Idiods is a multi starer movie with equal importance to 4 heros. Omi Vaidya and R. Madhavan were the surprise package not Aamir khan. It is still the record holder because it is the best movie ever created in bollywood after munna bhai series from the same director.Its sad it could only collect 202 crs. An average movie like ETT came close to break it. 3 idiots desreved much more. Talaash was his solo movie and he proved what he worth. Even Farhan Akthar’s movie is collecting 100 cr. After getting a good WOM Talaash failed miserably . In 14 years, from 2000 to 2013, he has got only 2 solo success (Lagaan & Fanaa[real hero was Kajol] ). in DCH and RDB he was just one hero among others.In TZP he was a supporting actor.Dhoom 3 again a multi starer movie. You guys call him a superstar ? You guys compare him to SRK and current salman khan ?
He is an above avg actor with lots of arrogance and jealous who thinks he is The Mel Gibson of bollywood.
Film again drops 5 to 12% bt evening nd night shows of 14 aug ll have a chance to gro up as d next day is national holiday our Independence day , PROUD MOMENT for us
first i want to clear that i trust on BOI figures but srk fans here now taken only official figure so i will show facts from officials
in 2011 Bodyguard released on EID & look which record broken by this:
1. Opening Day Collection: 21.25cr (opening day record)
2. Highest Single Day record that time: 21.25 cr
3. Second day record: 17.5 cr (Record highest 2nd day)
4. third day: 13.25cr (record first weekend collection :52.25 cr
5. Extended Weekend: 85.50 cr record
6. First week collecton 7 days: 100.3cr
7. Lifetime 141 cr 2nd highest box office grosser till 2011 after 3 Idiots
so ce collected and passed each record but those r saying that salman all record are thrashed by ce in one strike looks that salman already done this way before than self proclaimed King….so is this a big deal no just wait and watch many record will break by Salman in coming Days
P.S.:- not included ETT as it was not EID release it was pre EID release.
@romance express you said srk was first to give 50 cr weekend by ra one dear salman did the same before Raone though ra one break that record but he was not introducer, for 10 cr weekend first time Given by Fanaa in 2006 followed by Krishh & Lage raho Munnabhai before Don1 release
so first clear your facts than talk with us.
@gaurav which planet are you from you are saying no contribution of aamir in 3idiots u must be a joking.can anyone imagine 3idiots without aamir khan.his role was main in 3idiots,aamir khans performance widely been appreciated by many critics. aamir was on a high after the big success of ghajini, that is why because of aamir 3idiots become ATBB. you are talking aboutgood script even kai po che also had a brilliant script why it struggled to cross even 50cr.you srk fans are very jealous of aamir srkfans know that srk will never break record of aamir khans 3idiots. that is why srk fans always try to degrade aamir, but everybody knows aamir khan is much better actor than overacting ka king srk.
@gaurav Aamir contributon to 3i is the same as srk contributed in DDLJ, 50% due to Aaditya Chopra, 10% due to diwali relaes,30% by Kajol and 10% by songs, KKHH 40% by karan johar, 20% by Salman, 30% by kajol & 10% byRani ab khush jaa ghar jakar so ja ab Nalayak
be fijul ke comments karta hai…….
@krish yaa i got you choice of movies as you liked Ce more than 3I, kya kare bechare ko movie hi nahi samajh aayi, 3 Idiots is for intelligent people who get moral from the movie while ce is for the fans like krish who having 0 IQ, interesting but true
life time collection 160 cr se jada hone ki ab koi chance nahi he..as wom critic review hall leaving public response is worst for any srk film….then it has tough film every week now
@ ANWAR agree that Aamir is an average actor and non performer, happy but still he have the 6 classic in his belt in last decade, for TZP you forget he was the director so it was also his movie and forget Ghajini now you say that it was remake than DON and devdas also were remakes both are merely hit that time, Aamir not require poor fans like you he was blessed with many more fans which understand that beyond Box officer there is something to be unique and that provide only by Aamir…….and still Aamir is baap of you all having Padam Bhushan in his hand, show like Satyamev Jayate and absolutely fans like me….
