Sultan: Extraordinary advance booking for Sunday

Sultan is not only setting records at the box office, but the level of advance booking for Sunday is once again – unprecedented. A record number of tickets have already been sold in advance and the total collections from advance sales for Sunday is said to be around 13-15 crore.

This is the sort of advance booking that major event films get for their entire weekend, prior to release.

It’s difficult to predict or analyse where the film can go from here, because the trend has been unlike any other film in the last few years.

If Sultan can touch or cross the 45 crore mark on Sunday, then there are chances of Monday holding up above the 20 crore mark – which would give the film a very good chance of becoming the highest grosser of all time.

  • Indicine or any User here pls..

    SRK had stated that there was a gulf of 10000 screens between Raees and Sultan to clash.

    So if example 5000 screens minimum was allocated for both movies that means 15000 screens were needed 4 both movies to clash? meaning 7500 screens for each movie if they divide it equally (definitely).

    So.. Now my question is with 7500 for each.. How much collection is the target for each of d movies.. Had extra 10000 been added?… Or how I calculated is not how it works abit naive on screens availability ratio to Occupancy ratio to daily collection.. Thanks

  • @KHALNAYAK

    srk who hasnt managed to collect a 230cr movie? you cant compare him with salman and aamir. both have 300cr movies ( this year hopefully both have two 300cr movies)
    if srk has the largest fanbase why arent his fans going to cinema to achieve the same kind of lifetime collections ? yet to collect even 230cr. cmon haha stop joking
    this industry and the box office is led by two superstars. two khans. Salman Khan and Aamir Khan

  • @khalnayak
    even your srk take 2years to break bodyguard opening day record.don’t forget that
    14years to break hahk record 3years to break dabangg records and life time for kick(forget about bajrangi bhaijaan)

  • I bet it will not cross PK record. Only Dangal will break all records. Audience don’t have any choice so they are forced to watch it. Wait for Dangal and see how bigger havoc it creates. This one will not cross 300 crores. That’s for sure.

  • I always believe every unseen scenario or disappointment is a blessing in disguise. Thus am sure and wish Raees to also do a very good business. It deserves a solo release and a favorable date.

  • people are saying it is collecting just because eid. – lol what a stupid thing to say

    people go to cinema to see a movie which they want to see and thats why the great collections.

    but people will say that there isnt anything else to see thats because they all have to watch sultan. – another stupid thing to say

    if thats the case why didnt people went to cinema to see fan ? 2 weeks no big film released because of fan. no other option. but they rejected it and did something else with there free time. again people go to cinema because they want to see a film.

  • @bajanindian what are you saying??!
    Lol. .
    A man who tortures ladies, kills innocent people and ruins othera lives, do you think he is son of god? Lol.
    We say THE TRUTH !
    this is just eid euphoria. .wait for monday and crash

  • @Syed

    Please don’t come to this website to talk about this. This is not a religious Podium. It is my humble and sincere request, if you really wish to make any difference, go and talk sense in to the terrorists who are doing real harm. No one over here is actually making any harm and are just talking about movies because its a podium created for that. As far as Your Zakir is considered, he is a goon, nothing more than that. So Mr. Preacher, don’t preach here, just go and watch all of your Zakir’s DVD and if you have real knowledge of your own religion, you will come to know is just a bad man and nothing more than that. I as a muslim would not want a ban for anyone else more than a person like zakir naik. He is a shame to entire humanity, not only muslims.

  • I always had a feeling that the film would surprise on saturday n sunday.. it has done exactly that.. no one has a clue what has happened.. the fans the haters the trade everybody is perplexed! I’ll tell u wat it is.. it is salmania! it is megastardom.. unbelievable unmatched.. now I understand why indicine was constantly saying that the demand of sultan is unprecedented among trade n audience.. hats off indicine! now that sultan has created havoc m already smiling in my mind thinking about salman kabir combo next year eid release tubelight..

  • I doubt that it will do 40cr on Sunday since YRF for some reason is reporting lower than the actual trade sites. So i am expecting 37cr like the second day.

  • Look at the hard work Salman has put in Sultan … its tremendous.. you can feel that throughout the movie .. his expressions, sincerity, dedication moves you all the way .. he is not overdoing anything in the movie just to make you cry .. he is mixing jokes while serious, just like a real man in real life situation – not shedding tears.Sometimes our Bollywood stars/actors yell a lot, give so many expressions, try too hard to prove that how good actors they are .. but that doesn’t connect with us .. because WHO THE HELL DOES THAT IN REAL LIFE … I felt like most of the actors Adopt the character for reel life but Salman lives the character just like any ordinary guy would do .. he is so real.. and thats why people usually call he isn’t a good actor. Well..!! they are right .. coz he doesn’t act, he just does it just like if I or you or anyone happen to be in same in real life, thats how we would do it .. I apologize but have you seen Deepika in Piku, or SRK in devdas or MNIK .. they tried too hard to make sure that ppl realize how good actors they are .. but that is not how anyone in real life would behave, being the same character .. that overdoing … at the same time watch Kangana in QUEEN and Priyanka in Fashion or Amir khan in his movies .. you simply connect .. its real .. no yelling .. no faltu expressions.. its just like a real modern world Model and a normal woman. Gud Luck bollywood .. looking forward for more blockbusters ..!!

  • @Khalnayak u are an idiot! HNY has no record. Opening day record belongs to prdp. Also when we are talking of mega stars- Salman and Amir, stars who hv crossed 300cr don’t mention coward khan whose last film couldn’t reach 100cr.Heheheeheheheh srgay fans are really shameless.

  • All the best Team #Sultan
    and Congrats Salman Fans
    By the way 280+ crore Confirm.
    Blockbuster#

    There will be a lot Of Questions In QA Session Today About Sultan. Becouse it is Going to again A history. @Indicine You’re right It Can do 300-310 Crore. Becouse Your LBO Prediction never Gone wrong more than 15% difference expect by leave 10% movies.

  • Yes, 30cr+ throughout the extended weekend is something which falls under ‘extraordinary’ or ‘unprecedented’ category. Congratulations all Salman Khan fans (yes, I will pronounce it rightly as there is no point being rhetorical when a movie is set to create history at the B.O.).
    Let’s see if it can cross 300cr at B.O. as with this pace, anything is possible.

  • No hesitation in accepting the fact that Salman is ahead of SRK (under current scenario) , not because SRK has less fan following or stardom, but because statistics are in the favor of Salman.
    However, I won’t consider SRK as a ‘gone case’ and Salman as superior until and unless SRK fails at lucrative festive weekends (with favorable conditions like no clash and a movie with universal acceptance) and Salman succeeds at B.O. on non-holiday (under adverse conditions).

    Because under his comfort zone, every individual excels, but his metal would be tested only when he comes out from it and Salman is yet to come out from his comfort zone.

  • Wow m amazed to see this kind of numbers,feeling great that m a fan of d greatest superstar of India ,simply wow

  • Make way for sultan.. Sultan is not extraordinary movie but the atmosphere in theatre were just magnificiant.. First tym we book 30 tickets and only 3 were salman and all SRK fans including me. But we were really whistling and cheering for sultan.. The first fight in pro wrestling was just awsome the entire theatre gives feel like stadium.. Love u salman from srk fan.

  • Went to the cinema in bhilai to watch it for the second time asked for tickets of Saturday.there wasn’t any left for the whole day.got a ticket for Sunday 9pm.the cinema is showing 21 shows still hardly ticket was left a day before. We love#BHAI

  • @Khalnayak ..get a life man..I feel pity for u for going thru such a trauma by seeing Salman’s success

    @Syed .have a scientific approach man..Zakir is a stand up comedian and talks rubbish at this age alike Asaram, Nirmal baba etc ..humanity is the biggest and best religion .be a human first ..

  • Watched Sultan last day and it turned out better than my expectations.
    Entered the hall with not very high expectations but movie was not like typical Salman masala movies which I always hated(Dabang,Dabang2,Jai Ho etc)-The setup of the movie was desi and simple which attracted me the most.About Ist half ,The “sultan” introductory scene was good ,I liked it and surely his core fan base would have loved it.There were few funny moments which were well placed and didn’t seem forced.The songs (although average to below average itself) worked very well and didn’t affect the pace of movie.The love story and emotional angle in the first half connected the character “Sultan” well with audience.The good thing about the character “Sultan” was the fact that Salman didn’t show his typical heroic character and was shown working hard for everything he gets in the movie.The first half was full of entertainment (not forced entertainment as of typical masala movies)as it was a beautiful blend of fun,love,emotions,hard work and determination.I will rate first half (4.5/5).I am not giving 5 as I had problem with Salman accent even after watching trailer but for me it wasn’t Salman only Anushka also struggled-The point is Sultan friend “Govind” was speaking Haryanvi so fluently that it seemed forced for both the lead characters.
    Coming to second half ,it was very predictable and typical second half.The entertainment was very limited and a bit exaggerated.I mean a desi “pelhawan ” comes and wins the free style fighting competition.It is just like Federer leaving tennis and and starts playing table tennis and becomes a champion.The pace of the film in 2nd half was slow.The song “Jag Ghomeya” was seemed so forced that I badly wanted it to end as early as possible(can’t say about everyone but for me that slow song did bore me in already slow paced second half).But despite all negatives of 2nd half the audience’s connection with the character “Sultan” remained strong and that’s the main reason that no one was bored(except that song I also didn’t bore for a single moment).Although Randeep had a limited role but I really enjoyed his character of a stubborn coach.overall the good will of the first half worked even for second half.i will rate it (3/5)
    Positives:
    (1) Entertaining First half.
    (2) Title song worked very well( Khoon me tere matti ,matti me tera Khoon backed by powerful voice of Sukwinder Singh in a sports movie).
    (3)Emotional connection of sultan with audience.
    Negatives
    (1) Forced accent by lead characters.
    (2) Salman looked a bit old in first half(when he was portraying 30)-
    (3) Jag Ghomeya was unneccessary .
    Overall Rating:3.5

    It is one of the perfect commercial entertainer of the recent times so it deserves atleast and almost a one time watch on big screen.you will not enjoy watching it second time but you will surely enjoy it for the first time?

  • I hope indicine team sensor religious comments posted by various fans e.g “syed”. Indicine is Bollywood trade website ;not religion preaching website. I hope indicine put disclaimer regarding comments.

  • Who is this Khalnayak ?
    The last hater and idiot left who just to post negative comments about salman does not sleep whole nyt
    I wish if he would have seen fan & dilwale mean time they would not have been DiSASTERS

    TOO MUCH FUN
