These predictions are real hard to get right, simply because box office is very unpredictably and a lot depends on the merits of a film. But a film like My Name Is Khan, irrespective of how it turns out to be, is likely to open to huge numbers. The first weekend will no doubt be record breaking, both overseas and India.
Here is our prediction for the year’s most awaited release – My Name Is Khan directed by Karan Johar starring Shahrukh Khan and Kajol!
- Opening weekend – 30 crores minimum, could even be as high as 38 – 40 crores including paid previews.
- Week 1 (if loved): 60 crores plus, could easily beat Ghajini.
- Week 1 (if mixed): 55 – 60 crores
- Week 1 (if disliked): 50 – 53 crores
- Lifetime (if loved): 110 – 120 crores. The repeat value is unlikely to be as high as 3 Idiots.
- Lifetime (if mixed): 100 – 110 crores.
- Lifetime (if disliked): 75 – 80 crores
Overseas, the film is likely to beat the record of 3 Idiots even if the reactions are mixed, mainly due to the wide release and the SRK – Karan – Kajol fan-following. $20 million plus is a possibility if the film is loved.
Indian box office numbers will be more interesting though, here are some reasons why
- Aamir Khan currently holds the record for two of the biggest money spinners ever – Ghajini and 3 Idiots. While MNIK is not expected to break the records set by 3 Idiots, it will be interesting to see if the film can beat the 15 month old Ghajini in India.
- Can MNIK beat the opening weekend record of 3 Idiots?
- Can MNIK beat the opening week record of Ghajini or even 3 Idiots?
Do tune into Indicine. We’ll keep you updated on My Name Is Khan.

@nauman,even before release of ghajini rumour was that aamir is villain.he killed asin.it is memento.etc.but in the film there was nothing shocking.so people shocked n ghajini did huge.i think mnik is going the same way.this type of rumours r good for a crap film.he he he….:)
Dhruvo is flirting with bristi…..:)

Adii, u r wrong about fathiya.i m sure she will like the animation kuchi kuchi hota hai also.ha ha ha….:)
Unknown
dont say that in Ghajini there was rumour that aamir is villain and kills Asin ! ! !
Ghajini is remake of Ghajini ( tamil ) same like Wanted from (pokkiri )
MNIK will not create or break record very far to reach even Ghajini (forget about 3I )
MNIK budget is 50 Cr AT max life time collection will be up to 45 Cr Average
Adiii n Unknow

Shankar Singh
why did u revealed suspense of kajol the film is all about this situation so whats now use of watching MNIK also songs doesnt sounds great except 1
try to understand dude
Mn:
Ghajini ( Tamil ) didnt watch every one especially from overseas non tamil and pakistani people.
so we didnt know about Ghajini Tamil’s story. so we guys were thinking this.
and tell me how many people do understand tamil and telegu in whole the world ?
so it was new movie for every non tamil person. i remember my friend use these same words ” Sala Amir Chutiya apni biwi ko hi maar ke bhool jata hai “

and make a section top ten groosers list alltime,and years wise
otherwis your site is superb.
Guys
if u think that SRK is Gay so it is his personal matter we dont need to interfere.
America’s one of the most popular singer Pink is lesbian and she announced by her self. Lady Gaga is shy male, South Africa’s Cricketer Kallis is also Shy male .
so why not SRK ???
it is his life if Gory his wife hasn’t any problem then why should u ????
Adiii
if songs downloading is illegal then why you tube’s video sharing is legal ???
we can download all songs from you tube as well.
even indicine post u tubes liknes as well. is it legal ???
but we can discuss about it .
c u bye

Nauman i dont want to urgue with u. yes Indicine has announced that new version will updated by end of Jan 2010 still waiting ( might be Publicity through Internet hehehehehe,,,)

or Avg/ ab avg/ flopppp
Adii, i love animation like ice age,shrek,wall-e,ratatouli,kung fu panda,up….etc.but bollywood r way behind in animation.if they produce something close to hollywood than it has chances otherwise think about roadside romeo,jumbo,kkhh etc.ok for u i wont comment bad about animation of bollywood.pray that u will bring some changes in animation of india.but don’t forget us after becoming successful.best of luck for ur future project.i m sure oneday u will be indian james cameron….:-)
Bad news for SRK fans

indian animation film industry is in top. avatar has 1600 vfx shots and indian vfx industry gave 250 scene in it. so india has good animater but makers r not ready yet for animation moviese. but no longer.
Maharashtra ki box office par audience nahi sirf police hi police hai .
According to sources advance booking in Maharashtra for MNIK 5%
Shivsena ki dar se audience bhag gaye .
What a painful thing for srk fans ?
