FAN has once again shown a big drop in business, as the film has fallen by 27% on Wednesday. Tuesday was a holiday for Mahavir Jayanti, so business was expected to come down, but the drop is still about 10% higher than where it should have been.
To show the downfall of the film, check out the stats below. The business of FAN has gone from record-breaking on Friday to poor levels on Wednesday.
- Friday: Records highest opening day of 2016. In fact, the opening which was primarily due to Shah Rukh Khan’s star power was 55% higher than the previous best opening day of Airlift.
- Saturday: Records highest second day of 2016. Business remains about 5% higher than Airlift.
- Sunday: Highest Sunday and Highest Weekend of 2016. But the Sunday business is only about 2% higher than Airlift.
- Monday: Crash. 3rd highest Monday after Airlift and The Jungle Book.
- Tuesday: Fails to take advantage of a holiday for Mahavir Jayanti, records 3rd highest Tuesday. Collections drop below The Jungle Book which is running in Week 2.
- Wednesday: Fourth highest 5th Day of 2016, behind Airlift, The Jungle Book and Kapoor & Sons. The Jungle Book in Week 2 continues to dominate.
The problem for FAN hasn’t been the star power of Shah Rukh Khan or other factors like genre. FAN wasn’t a completely off-beat film like ‘Swades’ either, it was meant to be a entertaining thriller with plenty of action sequences and emotions.
The bottom line is, it’s the content that hasn’t found appreciation.

LOL look how indicine are defending Srk’s star power.Indicine accept that he is below Salman and HR now.
Salman should leave eid for shah rukh khan coz shahrukh has now been lost his stardom in last few years so salman should postpone Sultan and let the Raees release on Eid 2016 I am huge fan of salman and Aamir but I like shahrukh too but not his fan….
Fan is not at all good movie boring hoping he do movie like shades,chak de india,my name is khan hope change scenario this time he thinking too much
very well said sss
Fan has flopped waiting for raees
FAN AGAIN THIS WEEKEND
Koi bat nahi, it’s ok! Srk ki raees bhi aane wali hai, movie bhale hi flop chale jaye but srk ki acting ka jadu to har movie mil hi jata hai
Now boi has shown it’s real face it was always defending fan
At the time of Dilwale vs BM, boi tried their best to downgrade BM, it always create controversy when Hrithik movies releases
It’s a Khan favoured site
It is proved now
After this debacle SRK will never again release on non festive like the 2 others did.
Fan dropped on the second day at key centres which basically sealed its fate and the postmortems will happen but the genre of the film always meant an uphill struggle to meet expectations which were mainly there because of a big star like Shahrukh Khan. It could have succeeded but was never going to be a superstar level hit. The highest grossing thriller till date is Holiday – A Soldier Is Never Off Duty at 112 crore nett and that says it all.
The next best are Ek Villain and Race 2 and the list of disappointments in the genre is huge not just over the last few years but since they started being made in Hindi. The last big hit in the genre was Agni Sakshi way back in 1996 and this was mainly driven by Mumbai circuit which had a tax free status.
The last one to do extraordinary business all over was actually a Shahrukh Khan film Darr in 1993. This is probably the most successful thriller genre film in India ever but the reason it went so far was that other elements that are needed in a Hindi film were blended so well in the film especially a love story and music. Also it was directed by the one of the greats of Hindi cinema Yash Chopra and there no directors of that level today in the Hindi film industry.
Basically the bigger the star, the bigger the risk with this genre. The more popular you are then the higher the expectations go which just can’t be met with the genre especially the sort of number that is expected of a Shahrukh Khan or a Salman Khan starrer. Its difficult to meet expectations anyway and if a few circuits reject the film then the gap between expectation and final result can look huge which is the case with Fan.
The downside of mega stardom is that you can’t really go out of the drama, action and love story genre today as box office numbers are reported everywhere and outside these genres you need some outstanding film to put up a megastar number.
It is also interesting to note that the other superstar of the day Salman Khan has no film in the thriller genre in our database which goes back to 1994. Not only Salman Khan but even the legendary megastars of prior generations with great box office records are likely to have filmographies devoid of thrillers.

Respect…..
Was fan a good movie…seriously????
Joke of the year!!!
@miyabhai…we never begging or worry like u..we hv the faith and confidence on MJ(=fan+raees+dilwale).hope it should not be super acclaimed like disaster fan.
ha miya,kon si duniya mai rahte ho..
“hrithik may get no offers…” already two projects in hand..and everyone wants to work with him…manta hoon srk jaisa nahi hain..aur ho v nahi sakta..pahle jab kuch v nahi tha big banner(yrfn dharma) ki niche chupke aaya tha..jab dekha rohit ne bb pe bb de raha hai uske peche vagne lege.ab anand L rai ke….pata nahi kaha tak rukegi…..really plutoria man.
jara dekh lena agar padh sakte ho toh..
1.dhoom 2
2.jodha akbar
3.agneepath..
@reendey romnce…as per krk..mental ki vakt saale..oh!astrologer!can u bet on the fate of mohenjodaro?
Bura ka ant burai hota hai. The worst films of Sharukh continues for the last 10 years. Sheer manipulation cannot save every time.
No YRF banner could save her? I Thought that she exists because of yrf and dharma banner but she herself proved me wrong by giving a flop even with yrf banner.
Its time for queen to beg the 10th season of Bigg Boss as contestant. She will rock. Mark my words.
@ps,your logic exactly matches with bhai fans.tell us at least one super hit film name of YRF/DP before working with KING SRK.but before worked with them KING SRK already became THE SUPER STAR and after that HE build YRF,DP and long after HIS OWN RCE which gave krish3 to jadoo boy.unlike your 6 fingered alien jadoo boy whose career build by papa after KING KHAN rejected knph.so remain in your aukat.your jadoo boy is nothing with out papa so as his papa’s initial career is nothing with out KING KHAN.even papa many times said KING KHAN is better actor than his jadoo boy and he always have trust him so as hr respects KING KHAN as his older brother.so respect KING KHAN,if you’ll show your arrogance then you’ll surely face the wrath of SRKIANS during mahenjodaro which you as well WE don’t want.WE have issues with sallu fans only not with you,hope mahenjodaro will do good against rustom as WE like asutoshji as well as hr,if still you want to fight with out any reason just because FAN is a failure because of no appeal,then bring it on.and don’t forget the rohit shetty you’re talking about got his 1st blockbuster with KING KHAN and every of his films are flops in overseas market except CE,DILWALE.sometimes experiment leads to failure which tends an actor to come out of his safe zone just like how hr did guzarish and kites but both are flops due to no appeal,got that?
and KING KHAN never ran after anyone because everyone ran after HIM.HE got MB MBBS offer but rejected after it’s huge success still HE rejected 3idiots which can’t happen in hr’s dreams also.so don’t so arrogance.don’t forget HE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO gave HIGHEST BEST PERFORMANCE followed by BIGB,amir,hrithik.so show some respect for THAT LEGEND,after giving ONE HIT I know every big director will again run after HIM.HE never failed like others,always remember that because whatever HE IS because OF HIMSELF.
