Krrish 3 vs Dabangg 2

Krrish 3 vs Dabangg 2

Some factors that worked in favour or went against the two films.

  • Both Krrish 3 and Dabangg 2 were sequels to tremendously successful films. Like Salman’s Chulbul Pandey, Krrish and Rohit Mehra were hugely popular with audiences across all age groups.
  • D2’s music was popular with the masses especially Kareena Kapoor’s ‘Fevicol Se’. Rajesh Roshan’s outdated compositions were universally thrashed.
  • While Hrithik commands a larger audience / fan base in urban cities, Salman is huge with the masses. Surprisingly though, Dabangg 2 under-performed at smaller centres and Krrish 3 hasn’t sustained too well in major metro cities!
  • Business of Dabangg 2 in the North Indian circuits was affected due to severe cold. The dill pre-Diwali phase meant that the first weekend business of Krrish 3 was slightly below trade expectations (at least the exhibitors weren’t too happy in the first 3 days, all that changed on Monday though).

Comparative numbers..

  • Dabangg 2 – 3500 screens, Krrish 3 – 3700 screens (4050 including Tamil and Telugu)
  • Hindi version weekend – Dabangg 2: 65 crore – Krrish 3: 63.7 crore
  • Weekend including all versions – Dabangg 2: 65 crore – Krrish 3: 72.7 crore
  • First week – Dabangg 2: 106.5 crore – Krrish 3: 165 crore expected (in 6 days 152.98 cr)

  • KRRISH 3 is unstoppable !!! Hrithik Roshan is here to stay, Hrithik Roshan is here to Rule !! It will at top for sure !! The national holiday christmas collection of dabangg 2 is far lower than the 5th day of Krrish 3 which was a working day. Plus the diwali day mentioned as monday isn’t a national holiday, it was holiday majorly for north and west india. here all schools,colleges and offices were open on monday.

  • @ indicine its far better if u compare with only hindi version of both movies whether its ce vs k3 vs d3…this is the right way to compare hindi ver vs hindi ver…HONESTLY ACCEPT indicine and everyone m i right or wrong? i m not against k3 or whether i want to degrade HR or anyone else…

  • so some people say that boi figure is ryt……do u notice dat their figure Friday — 18.75 crore Saturday — 15.50 crore Sunday — 15 crore Monday — 31.50 crore Tuesday — 20.50 crore Wednesday 13 crore TOTAL — 114.25 crore nett all figure are level at 75 lakh,50,25 lakh…..how can it be??it cant possible…its clear they have no accurate figure….clearly they manipulate.

  • Why did Dabangg 2 under-perform at small centres? why did it fare better with multiplex audience?

    i’ve been wanting to know for 11 months now!

  • You can thrash BOI all you like but they give the correct figures the fact of the matter is that Krrish 3 is 114cr in 5 days. Case closed the end.

  • well k3 is on a roll.. well done hrithik n congrats to hr fans.. i have already watched k3 twice, once with my family n once with my friends.. nice movie.. now waiting for d3.. and last but not the least eagerly waiting for salman’s jai ho.. hope it too rocks like k3.. love u salman n congrats once again to hr n his fans.. k3 rocks!

  • Only two types of collection in Box office
    1)domestic collection.
    2)overseas collection.
    tamil telugu domestic me hai so domestic collection means all languages collection in india.
    INDICINE PLEASE DO NOT separate tamil & telugu with hindi.

  • next year there will be comparison between dhoom3 which will be the highest grosser and holiday(2014).2014 is for akshay

  • @damnn……..Dey provide territorial breakdown circuit wise as their own……they cant provide ryt tamil figure….they say weekend in tamil verso is 4-5 cr……indicine clearly say that the ryt figure is 7.75….dats clear they cant provide whole figure

  • Hrithik and K3 is rocking and soon will derailed Chavanni Express (CE) !!! I am happy to see Hrithik breaking records of Salman’s D2 and it is also good for Salman to have tough competition. From last 3 years Salman had been a juggernaut at Box office and now the real test begins for him. To be honest YJHD (atleast few) started the trend of breaking Salman’s records and it continued with CE and K3. Still Dhoom 3 to come this christmas.

  • Compare to CE and D2 K3 had more disadvantages. History shows Eid and Christmas has witnessed the highest grossers compare to movies which released on Diwali. K3 is real winner for me !!!!

  • @boi@damnnn:Even boi.co.in provide circuit wise figures which are far more reliable and accurate than boi.com! According to boi.co.in K3 hindi version is 140 cr in 7 days.

  • point to be noted guys…*early estimate* of k3(Thur.) Suggest that it will collect in the range of 11cr bt Taran will tweet again high fig. lyk 15cr from nowhere…

  • ppl r asking for only hindi version… rest all movies r remake so hw can they earn in south if k3 has some benifit than why let go

  • dabangg-2 lack freshness..its underperformed at b.o….lookin forward to jai ho murugdoss script and salman role is more being human theme with entertainment value depends on word of mouth…

  • Fair comparison.
    Surprise package of this
    year is Chennai Express. Without getting any
    support from Trade experts it destroyed all
    the records.. # 227 Cr

  • krrish 3 hindi version will be less then chennai express around 4 – 5 cr one weeks collection
    note will be another 8 – 9 cr if all version included

  • Krrish3:
    As per BOI it is 130cr all version. as per producers it is 167. So the right once must be 148 cr arround[Simple average].
    CE: As per BOI it is 146 cr. As per producers it is 156 cr. So the right one must be arround 151 cr.

    I have taken the advice of @indicine to come to fair average number.

  • According to BOI krrish 3 recorded 3rd best week after ETT&CE.

    BOI report on krissh 3.

    Krrish 3 recorded the third
    highest first week of time only
    behind Chennai Express and Ek
    Tha Tiger over the first seven
    day run. The film has collected
    a little over 123 crore nett. If
    the film can break the second
    weekend record it has chances
    of becoming the highest
    grossing film of all time but in
    order to that the drop on its
    eight day has to be much less
    than the drops over the past
    two days. The business of
    Krrish 3 so far is as follows.

    Friday – 18.75 crore

    Saturday – 15.50 crore

    Sunday – 15 crore

    Monday – 31.50 crore

    Tuesday – 20.50 crore

    Wednesday 13 crore

    Thursday – 9 crore nett

    TOTAL – 123.25 crore nett

    A dubbed Telugu and Tamil
    version of the film has collected
    around 7 crore nett with most
    of the business coming in
    Telugu. The film is a record
    grosser as far as dubbed Hindi
    films are concerned as Ra.One
    and Don 2 grossed around 5
    crore nett each in their entire
    run.
