Dilwale Box Office Opening

Shah Rukh Khan’s Dilwale has taken a very good opening at the box office. The start was strong in circuits like Mysore, West Bengal, NCR, Bihar and South.

In Maharastra, the opening is good, but Bajirao Mastani seems to have affected the occupancy at quite a few centres in the state. In Gujarat, Dilwale is leading, but the occupancy isn’t as high as what a big film gets on a non-holiday.

The problem for Dilwale is the divide in business at multiplexes. Not only are the shows significantly lower than other big releases like Prem Ratan Dhan Payo and Bajrangi Bhaijaan, but the film is losing out on audience that are opting for Bajirao Mastani instead.

The clash is not similar to Bang Bang vs Haider clash last year, because Haider had a very limited audience and Bajirao Mastani is comparatively a much bigger film. So while the gap between Bang Bang and Haider was huge, the Bajirao and Dilwale battle is close enough to affect both films.

Sample figures from about 30 centres in the morning, suggest opening day business in the range of 18-19 crore. The film would have to pick up as the day progresses to ensure a bigger first day total.

Occupancy wise, it’s the 2nd / 3rd highest opening of the year. There are two ways to look at this. One, the release is smaller and the shows are lesser, so the occupancy has to be higher as compared to other bigger films. At the same time, Dilwale has the huge disadvantage of competing against another big film. So overall, it’s the third best opening of 2015.

  • mr bhansali should learn the lesson now..gud bye to his dream project…best of luck diwale team though am fan of salman khan .but luv for srk as well

  • Plz change Singh Is Bliing’s occupancy…

    You are saying that SIB collected 20crs with 45% occupancy and Dilwale will collect 18-19crs with 65-70% occupancy!!
    Is’nt it very absurd??

    Also Gabbar is Back collected 13crs with 45% occ. while SIB 20crs with 45% occupancy???

  • Occupancy wise Dilwale is the second best of the year – just behind PRDP , which was a holiday release , reports most film websites .

  • Dilwale would get stronger as the day progresses.
    As far as BM goes the fights only in maharashtra Mumbai belt. Every else its a wash out with no comparison.
    Alhumdulillah the word of mouth is mixed to positive . So that would help
    Expecting 24 CRORES today

  • no need to say it will crash from monday..
    bt indicine may get on film promo or posters as 4 stars for dilwale.
    going to watch bajirao at 5:15 . maharashtra will teach srk.a lesson.

  • Weekend should be 70 to 80+ crore
    1st day : 24 to 26 crore
    The screens are less …
    the biggest challenge for dilwale would be weekdays collection !!!
    I hope dilwale does excellent business in its opening and lifetime !!!!

  • So cracks are appearing on first day itself. It will be a repeat of clash what we saw with Jab tak hai Jaan and Son of Sardar. In this case we have Baajirao Mastani a better competitor..

  • Dilwale weknd wont be over 70crs
    Life time will be under Happy New Year Box office nos.

    Sharukh ko iss baar Sanjay ki saat Paangah mehangah Pargaya.

    Aur Sanjay nay bi Sharukh say 2007 ka Badla ley leya.

    Ab aeygah Uont Pahar ki nechee!!

  • Noida opening:
    Bajrangi Bhaijaan(20 shows):94.17 % occupancy – Drama genre
    Dilwale (15 shows): 91.57 % -masala(genre which sees the best opening in noida)

  • It’s should comfortably cross 20 crore on its opening day..25 crore is still not difficult because the advance bookings for the rest of the day were pretty good..there was a huge queue outside the box office at 1.40 pm when I left the cinema hall..Fingers crossed.

  • nt a single show in nashik is SOLD. hahahaha…. cm on queen no where to hide nw its u vs marathi audience.

  • For dilwale is 150cr mx lifetime

    1st day = 17cr-18cr
    2nd day = 18cr
    3rd day = 20cr

    1weekend = 60cr
    week days = 25cr

    1st week = 85cr
    2nd week = 40cr
    Rest = 15cr

    loved it ….. will watch again on Sunday and on Christmas eve …..!!!!!!!
    there is nothing negative about dilwale.
    Haters stop if u can …. now …. dilwale will keep rocking despite controversies and clash factor ……….!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Dilwale could reach 25 crore if evening shows perform well and as bajirao mastani has got good reviews but not great,their is a chance of dilwale crossing 75-80 crores weekend.

  • @ V SHANTARAM
    well said bro..
    koimoi 50-55
    indicine-60-65
    if srk fans r nt getting dilwale ticket due to housefull in their city.. come to maharashtra here shows r running empty .
    from monday it will nt evn run of many screens here.

  • @zeeshan

    What the hell do you mean by “Bhajipav Mastani” Bajirao was a respectable warrior. Show some respect to a great warrior.

  • WOM is out.
    Dilwale is Crap. In name of masala entertainer they just make stupid film surely audience will give tight slap on faces of these people this time around.
    BM is not completely satisfying and has its own share of flaws but its way better than Dilwale. Especially if you watch both movies you will feel you have wasted your money on Dilwale and would have been better if have watched BM twice. Diwale should fall saturday onwards and more so from monday onwards. BM should rise and will make most use of 3 open weeks.

  • @babuji, I have never seen such a multi-faced guy like u …..
    oh don’t worry varun will be ahead of floppy joker kumar …..!!!!!
    let airlift comes once then I know what to do…..

  • hope it will collect in evening show and from tomorrow it will pick and rib for bajirao mastani hope Dilwale 25 cr and BM 7 cr

  • At the time of BANG BANG ! vs Haider ;

    KHANs fans spread their unnecessary & unconditional love towards Haider and barks HRITHIK and BANG BANG ! , So that Khans records will remain save from HRITHIK & BANG BANG !

    Salman fans bark Hrithik & Bang Bang ! Because they don’t want that KICK (233 Cr) collections ever broken by 2015 future films Like BANG BANG ! , HNY, PK & so that Kick will become BIGGEST BLOCKBUSTER of 2015.

    Srk fans bark HRITHIK & BANG BANG ! Because they don’t want that BANG BANG ! ever break KICK collections , So that Collections remains so low that Srk can break it too easily and HNY will become Biggest BlockbBlockbuster of 2015.

    Aamir fans bark HRITHIK & BANG BANG ! Because they don’t want that BANG BANG ! ever set so high records that will difficult to reach by Unofficial Remake of OMG _ PK and remain too low so that Aamir can break it too easily and PK will become BIGGEST BLOCKBUSTER of 2015 and Aamir can maintain his BIGGEST BLOCKBUSTER status as well after D:3

    Now, Time has taken completely U-turn ;

    1, Dilwale vs Bajirao Mastani
    2, Sultan vs Raees
    3, Dangal vs Baahubali2

    4, HRITHIK started doing more films

    It’s an AVENGE time for HRITHIK’s Fans. We all will spread unconditional love for Films like Bajirao Mastani, Baahubali The Conclusion and bark KHANs Films like Dilwale, Sultan, Raees and Dangal as well Despite being one of the greatest film of Hindi Cinema but I don’t think this four Films will even be good (???reviewed but not by sites like INDICINE) films

    We have tolerated THE FACT ;
    BANG BANG ! :
    181 Cr (With 70% less screens due to clash)
    258 Cr (with 100% screens if solo)
    Haider : 60 Cr
    Results;
    Hrithik : Shaahid=181:60=3:1 (Share)

    Now, KHANS Fans will have to tolerate this things. (Believe it or not, This is an UNIGNORABLE TRUTH)
