Kick likely to beat Chennai Express today: Day wise Comparison

Salman Khan’s Kick is likely to beat the lifetime business of Shahrukh Khan’s Chennai Express on Tuesday, as this year’s Eid release is all set to cross the 227 crore mark.

The film is Salman’s highest grosser of all time not just in the domestic markets but also internationally. Kick has grossed 68 crore from the overseas markets alone, almost doubling the business of his last release Jai Ho. However, the overseas collections pale in comparison to Chennai Express which grossed nearly 115 cr overseas.

Comparing the India business of the two films, Kick released on significantly higher number of screens, benefited from costlier tickets and had two open well. Chennai Express on the other hand had to compete against Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobaara on its 7th day of release, but had one of the most popular leading ladies and directors in the country, along with the star power of Shahrukh Khan. With Kick it was all about Salman.

The usual year-on-year growth for Eid releases was missing this year - Bodyguard 143 cr, Ek Tha Tiger 199 cr, Chennai Express 227 cr. All Eid releases in the last three years managed to quite comfortably beat the previous. Kick will also do the same, but the margin will be less than 10 crore.

  • @indicibe I went to watch kick mainly bcz of chetan bhagat and nawazuddin’s association with the film.so how cn u say salman that for kick salman is the only pulling factor for opening weekend audiences?
    Plz explain

  • I don’t think we need to argue anymore on Kick Vs CE because @Indicine has explained it quite logically. And it is going to even beat Roshans’ Jaadoo3’s manipulated collections worldwide. Hence Kick will take the fourth spot. With this, Salman will have three movies in Top 10 worldwide collections, SRK 2 or 3 and Aamir with 2 Movies.

    It is yet to be seen whether HNY can beat this figures. As far as trend is concerned, even the makers of the movie are not confident. And the remake of the boring flop movie, Bong Bong, will earn around 140 Crores and will be just below average because Haider will slaughter the movie from Monday onward!

    Meanwhile, Being Human Rules!!!!

  • Kick is a clear winner when compared to lungi express bcoz
    Kick=Eid+Salman only while
    CE=Eid+Srk+deepika+rohit shetty+rajnikant+hit music+no rains
    Kick had clash with good movie Entertainment while lungi express had clash with flop movies like ouatimd and satyagraha.

  • According to reports in media,Kickbroke the lifetime collection ofKrrish 3i.e Rs 224.69 crore nett to become the biggest box office spinner of 2014. Kick has already broken box-office records of Shah Rukh Khan’s ChennaiExpress. The film is Salman’s first 200-crore film.Even after the release ofEntertainment,Kickhas managed to hold steady numbers at the box office. Now it needs to be seen if it will sustain at the box-office after the release of Ajay Devgn’sSingham Returns.WATCH: Kick Official Trailer

  • Again excuses have started but the figures shows everything.Now as happened during Dhoomstorm the people have lost their lungis again in Kickstorm but happy new lungi trailer day will be a good day for them to buy new lungis.lol

  • oh no our lallu has overtaken d srk’s ce lifetym aftr gettin 2 open weeks nd hiked ticket prices ( less dan dhoom 3 bt more dan ce)

    even its crawling to cross d lyftym

    at d moment when srk aamir r eyeing towrds 300-350 cr club our bhai has somehow crossed d 200cr lllllooooooollllll

  • Chennai express with 8 holidays including Sunday in 18 days 212 crores.kick 4 holidays including Sunday in 18 days 226 crores.

  • The reason why ce trended better in 3rd weekend was because of entertainment and people prefer comedy movies over ouatim.Still there were lot of hurdles for kick.releasing pre eid+no big director+ Nobig heroine+no national holiday except on eid.Now CE released on eid ,next day holiday.independce day holiday,raksha bandhan.If kick had all these advantages it would hv done 180 crs in week one.

  • And who has bigger fan following that all can judge on opening basis.Week 1 CE had all the advantages still it failed in front of kick.Kick peeche se aaker bhi chennai express ko overtake kar gayi.

  • As you read this Salman Khan’s KICK has BROKEN domestic life time collections of Chennai Express and is still SUPER STRONG in 3rd WK.
    Lets watch KICK today for Salman Khan and our Pride.. Abki Baar Lungi utaar.. !!

  • 230cr is a good figure if not great and i as a salman fan loved the film and consider the business to be good and sufficient. sajid being a debutant director and a b-list actress the movie dix reasonably well fr itself.

    ps-there is no need to compare it with other films as each film has its own plus and minus therefore fair comparisions are not possible
    one more thing kick had to race against time. there was no first look or teasers.directly the trailer was released that too just a month before and music also got a late release around july.

  • now all of a sudden credit goes to big heroine and top director for CE success .. where were these excuses during ETT ? bigger heroine – katrina and biggest prod house – YRF + 3 open weeks

  • without any big director without any big heroine without any huge promotion it beat ce and will collect atleast 232cr is very huge and outstanding this is just because of salman where as for other actor it need big heroine,big director,big holiday to cross 200cr this is just unbielivable power of salman that make this movie blockbuster.

  • Very bad comparison indicine. If u compare like that then salman had 10 days while ce had 7 days post eid to collect .. Ce had two major holidays in its second week with bad Wom for OUATIMD .. kick had no holidays in its second week with good WOM for entertainment
    Had kick had those advantages ot wid have surely crossed D3
    Another fact .. Ce is directed by top director who has given many 100+ hits mwith smaller stars .. also deepikas acting ws praised a lot too and deepika jave given a 100 cr film with ranvir singh .. so please include all these facts as well.

  • CE is the winner and that can’t be denied.

    Released a year before, with less screens, merely 6 open days and still managed 227cr in India and 420cr worldwide.

    If you say Kick had b-list Jacqueline,then what do you say about OSO who had unknown Deepika?

    Pre-Eid? Before Kick released, it was said that there are less than 15% muslims so that shouldn’t be a problem. Why is it now?

    Kick with its super success still was expected to perform better. 300cr was on the cards, then it sank down to Krrish:3 and now that even looks a little distant.

    I’m sure Kick would’ve beaten Dhoom:3 if was a better product.

  • Kick hi Kick hai bhai, i agree with @indicine only salman bhai power make 228plus.
    Ce too much advantage from many holiday,top heroin,blockbuster director,hit music,Yo Yo and South God Rajni sir.

  • Welcome to Indicine, Goutham!! One more Being Human!! And I have been following Indicine since the release of Wanted in 2008.
    @youare_srkfan, Tum Kabhi India Se Bahar Ayaa Nahin Ho, Is Liye Bahar Baare Mein Nahin Pata!! Salman is known everywhere. He’s famous in Malaysia despite not targeting this market. Your hero has largely benefited from his association with Yashraj and Dharma Productions that have huge marketing channels in overseas and make NRI centric films. Besides, he also goes out to do roadside shows overseas.
    And earlier Salman films that didn’t work so well in overseas because he used to make many desi centric films although HAHK opened up market for desi films in overseas. Now, he has started making films that have appeals to the Indian diaspora worldwide. Hence, you should be aware that he is rapidly climbing the overseas chart. And your king has long been dethroned by Salman in India.

  • @sachin11 dont worry about lungi … gift ur aamir a CHADDI first as he wants to be the next poonam pandey ….

  • CHENNAI EXPRESS IS ROHIT SHETTY’S MOVIE WHO HAS GIVEN MANY 100 CRORE MOVIES WITHOUT KHANS,AS WELL CE IS AGAIN DEEPIKA PADUKONE MOVIE WHO is A list actress and also GIVEN 2 100 crs movies YJHD 178 Crs AND CE 227 Crs.
    WHEREAS KICK IS ONLY SALMAN KHAN MOVIE WITH NO OTHER BIGGER STAR IT WAS ONLY SALMAN WHO HAS TAKEN A MOVIE ON HIS SHOULDER AND CROSSED LAST EID RELEASED MOVIE RECORD.

  • I have always mentioned that kick was always a strong contender to beat chennai express but dhoom. 3 was always out of reach…now looking forward to happy new year and P.k..excited to see which film will finish the top grosser of 2014

  • if kick had deepika or Katrina like Chennai express or dhoom 3 it could easily add another 50 crores.thats the power of Salman and his superduper stardom that without big heroine it would collect atleast 230 crores.

  • bollywoods 150 plus crore movies
    1)3 idiots -aamir and kareena
    2) ek tha tiger-Salman and Katrina
    3) Chennai express-srk and deepika
    4)krish3 -hrithik and priyanka
    5) dhoom3-aamir and Katrina
    6) yjhd-ranbir and deepika
    7) dabangg2-Salman and sonakshi
    8) kick- Salman and jaqueline
    this list says that without these top heroines only Salman is able to give 150 crore plus movie 2 two times I.e kick and dabangg2 and that also shows his huge stardom

  • 3rd week figures are inflated so that it manages to beat ce.. 3rd week collections are as follows: fri-1.25 crs, sat-2 crs, sun-3 crs, mon-1 crs.. 3rd week collection will be 10 crs maximum.. And as per boi.co.in it wont cross ce collection of 218 crs and will finish around 215 crs.. Better luck next time salma bhabhi.. @indicine kick is not only about salman.. Kick= salma+ telugu blockbuster remake+chetan bhagat+two open weeks+widest release+highest ticket price..
