11:45PM Night Update: FAN has collected around 17 crore on Saturday. The official collections will be published tomorrow morning.
7:30PM Evening Update: FAN has picked up at multiplexes in the evening on Saturday. Since the film is not performing at smaller centres and single-screens, it needed a big jump at multiplexes, which hasn’t come as of 6PM in the evening. Unless business escalates quite significantly in the night, the film is looking at a drop of around 5-10% on Saturday, which would mean Day 2 total of around 17 crore net.
There were two IPL matches today, one at 4PM and the other at 8PM. It remains to be seen what sort of impact it has had and will have on business today.
Morning Update: Shah Rukh Khan’s FAN has taken a slower start on Saturday morning as compared to the occupancy for the morning shows on Friday. This is normal for a film featuring SRK in the lead, because a lot of people watch his films ‘first day first show’ on the day of release.
The average occupancy at multiplexes on Saturday morning is about 15-20% lower than Friday (which was a partial holiday for Ram Navami). The evening / night shows on Saturday will be crucial, because it’s for these shows that multiplex business peaks.
For FAN, multiplex business at cities has become even more important because mass centres and single-screens are not performing due to lack of appeal (no songs, no leading lady etc). The reports from smaller centres aren’t very positive either. So the fate of the film is dependent on a good hold on Saturday and big growth on Sunday.
FAN will also be competing with the ‘The Jungle Book’ which is on a phenomenal record-breaking run at the Indian box office. The film has already collected Rs 83 crore in 8 days and should cross the 100 crore mark by the end of its second weekend. ‘The Jungle Book’ is also likely to become the highest grosser of the year, ahead of an acclaimed multiplex film like ‘Airlift’ which did business of Rs 128 crore net.
Bad news for srkarians
Chennai Express=227 crore.
HNY=203 crore
Dilwale= 148 crore
Fan= 115 crore (approximately)
Raees=????
@mayank,who said this movie will work in mass centers?
Fan opening day collections are only 19cr, despite released in a partial holiday!!!
It’s a tinystardom or superstardom???
Where are the morons (like javeda, fasal loongi etc) who predicted 30cr/25cr opening day for billu 2???
Movie is just superb. That was a FANtastic experience watching it. Gonna watch it tomorrow as well.
looks like indicine are not allowing any comments on the new article
@ srkians- fan is for haters to hate movie and low collections are proving my point.
Dabbang 2 earn 22 cr with 3500 screen on working day ..!! With less ticket price as compare to fan ..!! Ya to srk sir ka stardum chala gaya ya fir movie acchi nhi bana rahe ….best of luck srk fan …may be airlift hold 1 postion ..2nd jb ..3rd fan
@mera ghulam spamzone :
1:09pm:
Before its release you srk fans continuously blabbered that it is content rich movie, srk has returned his old avatar and blah blah blah. And now giving excuses like niche movie, no song, less screens and blah blah blah…. Hahaha.
No supporting cast!!! really??? That’s mean SRK does the all characters (even his wife, son etc) in the movie… Lol.
1:13pm:
it’s you srktarfs who has been continuously chanting that fan is a content rich, classic and blah blah blah. Being a content rich, classic how could it has illogical scenes???
And we Bhai fans never called Bhai movies classics, content rich and blah blah. We believe movies are for entertainment not for education. Hence we are happy with Bhai movies illogical scenes..!!!
1:18pm:
Hahaha…. So you have already planned to go Hibernation mode after fan debacle, just like you did after jthj debacle!!! Best of luck in advance!!!
@indicine:
Hope you will post it now.
@Chuhe my loyal JACK 3:49 pm : You leave what we said. At the time of Flop Ho release, even you morons would have boasted about it. Will you call the script of Flop an utter garbage now?
If not, then why are you going on SRKians words?
Yes, SRK fans called it a content oriented movie, but at the same time, didn’t you guys declare it crap and flop even before it’s release?
So that logic is applicable only one way or what?
And yes, I was not present at indicine for almost two years, but not after JTHJ, but after the mega success of Chennai Express. So improve your knowledge a bit.
I am not a coward who will run away if a SRK movie doesn’t work as per my expectations.
And even though if I have to leave, I will leave only post the release of Sultana.
Because I have to return all your love with interest. Isn’t it?
So how can I leave without doing that?
B4 release SRKtards barked that we only need SRK n content to guarantee a HIT…
Post release they now spout nonsense like we need a huge STARCAST, top heroine like Deepika n afew vulgar music videos and also afew more partial/ full blown national holidays…!
Lame with fans with even lamer excuses
Only Akshay Kumar have a dare to release his all 4 films on non holiday.Akshay Rocks
Billu Fan was supposed to be a dream for Pluto-Purians ie not 1 but 2 performances of overacting from King…!
Hhhmm I guess now they must be thinking quietly to themselves that sometimes LESS IS MORE… :-P
Jai Ho is being compared with this Crap Billu Fan- so lets look at this objectively- 1 performance of bhai vs TWO performances of King n difference is nearly ZERO on opening day (subtract the advantage of a partial holiday for Billu Fan)
Conclusion:-
1 Salman >>>> 2 Kings
Pluto-purians have a problem with negativity surrounding ‘Not So Content Rich After All’ billu fan n in particular bhai fans- well I say who needs negativity when you got 3.6 billion die hard fans ready to worship any crap with King in it
I always said this crap wouldnt be Content Rich bcoz I have seen movies before where 2 doses of King torturous overacting doesnt make a movie content rich ie Duplicate King n Green Lantern sorry Ratoon Point One…!
Raeesa Bhabhi will postpone for sure now.
@Tiger – the real king, totally agree with you bro this Billu 2 is nothing but another mindless crap masala movie from Srk, but the problem with the Haklu fans is that every crap movie of Haklu is a Masterpiece and Content oriented movie….and Masterpiece of other actors become crap for them..LOL
@Challa wow bro so in that case every Srk action movie is also full of crap b/c when Salman hit a goons in movie it at least look real because of his physique but when Srk (Single Haddi) hit any goons people laughs on screen because it’s totally looks unrealistic.
And if Salman looks gorilla when he dance then what do you want to say about the Srk dance in Jabara song, he looks like a Single Haddi MONKEY who jump on street to earn some chiller and in that song Maneesh Sharma is the Madari….
Too Much Fun…
“We only need King” and “we do not need holidays” has all of a sudden changed overnight too “YES we need holidays, YES we need 1 or preferably 2 heroines, YES we need a top director, YES we need a Huge Star Cast, YES YES YES YES YES we need Daniel Bryan……
Oops I got carried away with the Daniel Bryan chant LOL
Srk fans be like Kya se Kya ho gaya :p :D
Dictionary’s around the wotrld are coming out with a new updated version coz the word EXCUSES has got a new definition- under the word EXCUSE it reads as:-
For a full long 3 hr definition of all known excuses to mankind just watch Excusewale…!
Instead of saying that the drop was normal, u should have shown disappointment because it got 3.5 overall rating nd with this rating,every film only shows jump not drop. !
Watched FAN @ AMC Southfield, Michigan. Unbelievably outperformed by SRK. 1st half is for all but 2nd half needs brain to get it right(now I understand why few are saying negative about 2nd half). A complete masterpiece. Will watch it again today, already booked tickets for 3:05 show @ AMC Dearborn.
Love you SRK!
Bold Predictions :
1. Lifetime of Jungle book will be more than Fan
2. Fan will not cross Airlift. If it does it will be barely by 2-3 crores
3. Fan will not cross TWMR
And just to put an end to the debate of Srk vs Salman, if fan fails to cross above 3, is he even worth comparing to Salman ?
By the way even Imdb to which Srk fans would have latched is dropping steadily…it is no longer at 9 but is now 8.6. As i predicted by end of its run Imdb will be 8 or even less…Haha too much fun
Jungle Book >>>>>>>Fan
Bollywood King demolished by a 10 year old talented Kid !!!! Too much fun
I request Salman fans to stop bashing srk & his fans. I know it is an opportunity to pay them back but if we do same thing as them then what’s the difference ? Most important thing time is on our side, srk & his fans does not need any bashing as general audience is showing their true place. Peace !!!!!!!!!
But I want to ask just one thing to @Challa @devil @xzone @Phenom :
What is with Srk & hiding in train toilets ? Is he obsessed with this hide game or enjoy some aroma smell ? Lol
srk se na ho payega…!!!
only aamir (p.k, 3idiots, gajini, tarre zameen pr) can deliver critically and commercially successful movies.
To some extent salman also. (bajrangi bhaijaan, wanted)
Oooo my god………bad movie…srk sholud think alot before agree to do movies
Its not srk level of movies
Crown of the king in dengerous
