First Day Record – Salman Khan reigns supreme once again

As expected, Salman Khan has regained the top spot for the ‘First day’ collections. But what has shocked the trade is the margin by which his latest release has climbed back to the top.

Ek Tha Tiger has raced ahead of Agneepath, with more than 45% collections. What that also means is, Salman Khan has more than DOUBLED the first day collections of Dabangg (14.45 crore), which released just 2 years back. It’s also 50% more than the opening day collections of Bodyguard (20.66) that released during the same time last year.

The table below says it all – Khan reigns supreme once again, by some distance!

  • Why compare apples to oranges. Ticket prices went up 15% and ETT was released in more theaters than RA One. The actual earning for ETT is 25 crs or less. Salman and Kat are not suddenly the best actors in Bollywood. All the stunts were done by body doubles. Give me a break!

  • Until now Yashraj films made money with SRK,Aamir, Hrithick,John etc… But this Eid they will make money with Salman

  • sallu can do only fake action and crap masala remakes and get his movies blockbuster because of his tapori fans because he knows that character roles needs serious acting, srk and aamir can do any type of roles (i mean basically character roles) and get there movie hit only on the basis of multiplex audiences. Still majority of people remember bg, ready as crap!! Why?? Any masala movie can work, just u need to have an established superstar and weekend holidays to start, now just wait for masala movies like chennai express and dhoom 3, these both movies will again break ett records!! Mark my words… And record here i am talking about is worldwide gross record kyunki sallu ki movies ka overseas mein kya haal hai yeh sabko pata hai!!

  • Guys don,t believe these srk fans negative comments.if you seen the movie i guaranteed that 2or 3 baar aur dekhne ka mann karega.action ne dil jeet liya

  • im a srk fan and im telling movie is 1 time watch for movie lovers, go and have a blast but dont expect much coz it’s a salman movie and i like salman khan’s 6 pack abs

  • The day sallu establishes his supremacy over srk in overseas i will agree that sallu is indeed a king, you cant be a king just on tha basis of b.o. collections in india, tell sallu if he has guts then go ahead and break srk’s don 2 records overseas!!

  • but srk’yrf next going to beat all possible records coz srk is looking so styilsh and energetic in the promo so haters wait untill it release and ready to spread negative reports all always

  • guys plzzz ….ett is just a one time watch…i was totally disappointed …if u r an ardent salman fan then u will like it….if u r a regular mve lover then u will not like this mve …dabangg was 100 times better than this…

  • ett did this bussiness with wide release of 3300 sreens in india and ra one also did 25+ crores including dubbed with 3000 sreens including dubbed so i dont think it’s a big deal ett doing 30+ crores, salman is having good run coz of blockbuster, coz his film will be made in low cost and will make 100+ crores so it is termed as blockbuster, and for this film katrina also shud get some credit coz her film is comming after 1 year so i genuinely think salman is not no.1 yet

  • 3 idiots is 3 idiots, not cheap m0vie like ek tha bakra, d0gyguard, ready and dabanchud.
    Aamir khan will break all the record with dhoom 3

  • guys plzz stop talking about money and collections….i think mve shud b liked or disliked because of its content or making standards or script …ek tha tiger was rich in its locations and costumes i shud say..but over all it was only made for ardent salman fans…senseless action and salman should improve his acting skills…i am not a salman hater or srk or amir fan …i love watching mves but u just cant repeat same mannerism in all mves ….

  • 3idiots is infinite times better than ths ett
    ett is just good
    n ett will not go above 150 crore guranteed
    for breaking 3idiots record the following things are needed
    big superstars
    good direction
    better opening(above 15 crore)
    n most important is new and outstanding script

  • “Ek Tha Tiger” did some stupendous business on Day 1 and it has created some new records by some distance. Film is now poised to post record breaking numbers in coming days.

    As we reported earlier in the day, film will drop today as it is not holiday. But situation has become really interesting after we spoke to few distributors of different territories.

    Film has witnessed heavy drops in most of the circuits. In CI where film smashed all records yesterday, film dropped around 55% to 60%. Film dropped more drastically in interiors and single screens which is surprising considering Salman’s pull in these areas.

    Film dropped at similar levels in Mysore, Nizam, West Bengal, CP and Rajasthan. Delhi/UP still doing fine and Mumbai dropped by 50%. Overall drop is a bit worrisome for distributors and it is a drop of 55% on an average all India level.

    There might be reasons for this drop i.e. today is a working day and yesterday film witnessed such a high number that there was bound to be a drop. But there is feeling among trade that word of mouth is negative and too much international feel harmed the prospects especially loyal fan base of Sallu Bhai in smaller centers. Audience did not like Kabir Khan’s direction and too much of romance instead of action.

    We will update you with final figures in the evening but it seems that today will be a tough day for TIGER after 32 cr nett plus on Day one.
