Films that belong to a popular or successful franchise have a big advantage at the box office, especially on the opening day as fans of the franchise throng to theatres to watch the film in theatres.
Dhoom 3 got the biggest opening of all time – for a film belonging to a franchise, although Dhoom 2 in 2006 also took a record-breaking earth-shattering opening when it released.
The second film in the list is Singham Returns. The first Singham film opened very well, but the sequel – which released on Independence Day in 2014 – was phenomenal.
Krrish 3 stands at No 3, but the business of the film was affected by the pre-Diwali period. The opening of the previous Krrish (2006) film was even bigger and record-breaking. Back then, it was the first film to collect Rs 5 crore on its opening day.
Dabangg 2 set the record for the highest non-holiday, while Don 2 did very well for a film that released nearly 5 years ago.
Akshay Kumar’s latest release ‘Housefull 3’ finds itself below Don 2 and above Race 2 (holiday release). Welcome Back and ABCD 2 exceeded expectations last year.
Note: Advantage of a national holiday is around 35%.
| Movie | Collection | Release Period |
|---|---|---|
| Dhoom 3 (2013) | 36.22 crore | Non Holiday |
| Singham Returns (2014) | 32.09 crore | National Holiday |
| Krrish 3 (2013) | 25.5 crore | Non Holiday, Pre Diwali |
| Dabangg 2 (2012) | 21.1 crore | Non Holiday |
| Don 2 (2011) | 15.27 crore | Non Holiday |
| Housefull 3 (2016) | 15.21 crore | Non Holiday |
| Race 2 (2013) | 15.11 crore | Non Holiday |
| Welcome Back (2015) | 14.35 crore | Non Holiday |
| ABCD 2 (2015) | 14.3 crore | Non Holiday |
| Housefull 2 (2012) | 13.97 crore | Non Holiday |
@salman fan,hey bhojpuri so you think you have a brain too?,ROFL.
bloody mindless classless ganwarr movies like body guard,dabang,ready has one punch 15 man in air type logic and what about our non actor bhabijaan’s ACTING?ha ha ha ha,ROFL.
to all @salman fan,@mabhay alhotra who are talking about DON2,please remember IT has not any BLOCKBUSTER MUSIC,DARK BACKGROUND MOSTLY(with no masala entertainment) that dabang-11,dhoom3,PK gave.
If ONE FILM like CE will release in CHRISTMAS,then KING KHAN will break bb,ok’s record with in 2 WEEK.
Just because KING KHAN is not doing Entertainment movies that doesn’t mean HIS STAR POWER affected,just one record breaking movie of HIM will send both salman and amir back to their famous decade struggling pre 2008 and 2010 era,ROFL.
@navin,@salman fan(once again),so all flop movies are crap according to you?
Then OK according to your logic then following disaster movies too are biggest crap of BOLLYWOOD all time
andaz apna apna—-biggest disastrous crap having decade struggler Jodi in lead (humshakals of 90’s),ROFL.
tere naam—-biggest disastrous crapfest South remake of all time.
veer—-40cr crapfest disaster of bhabijaan
jail ho—-content rich social message giving sadakchap South remake according to bhaitards,ROFL .
@sakman fan,who told you that people will remember hardly one time watch time pass movies c grade masala movies like dabang,bodyguard? CDI,MNIK,JTHJ,DON 2,FAN are THE ALL TIME CLASSIC MOVIES THAT PEOPLE WILL GOING TO REMEMBER FOREVER.these movies may not got huge theatrical success because of limited appeal bug not at least diasastrous like bhabi’s classic cults like marigold,tere naam,veer,jail ho.
PEOPLE WILL remember salman for giving most crapiest movies to BOLLYWOOD.who gave 2nd most flops(46) after akshay Kumar,ha ha ha ha.do according to you salman is biggest crapfest star of all time along with akki,ROFL.right?
PEOPLE WILL REMEMBER KING SRK MOST CLASSIC FILMS AS WELL AS MOST CLASSIC BLOCKBUSTER GIVING STAR OF BOLLYWOOD.
please now don’t compare bhabijaan’s non ACTING with KING KHAN’S MASTERCLASS,MASTERPIECE ACTING WHO GAVE HIGHEST BEST PERFORMANCE CULT CLASSIC TO BOLLYWOOD.so don’t bark much remake non actor ‘s fan.
@Sundii sunny , very good point. Megastar Ajay is so big that only he can give 5 crore opening in today’s time. so big megastar that hehas highest number of disasters and his movie tezz only collected 15 cr life time in 2012. wow. never seen such a stardom before. indeed very easy actor to praise, oops, sorry bash, oops no no, i mean i was right, to praise.
LEGEND KHAN ON TOP
Everybody know that dhoom is big fernchices movie ….but we should not forget this point ..that hrithik roshan already has given huge first day collection on that time ..!! Acc. To me ..apart from dhoom fernchices ..we can compare all big movie..!!
Some morons are predicting that their BHAGODA’s next release will break dhoom3’s opening day record. But in reality their global bhagoda yet to touch even 16cr mark on non holiday (not multistarer)…. Hahaha.
Bhai’s content less, crapp (acc to bhagoda fans) non holiday release Dabang 2 collected 21cr nett on opening day in 2012.
And Global bhagoda’s content rich classic (acc to bhagoda fans) Ram navami holiday release billu 2 failed to touch even 20cr mark on opening day in 2016.
#Difference between MEGASTARDOM and BHAGODA stardom!!!
@ tiger, srk is yet to give a 16 crore opening on non holiday ? r u just came from mental hospital.then what about FAN opening of 19 crore.and bhagoda is u .u can’t understand the meaning of friendship.Srk postponed his film not for himself but for his friend salman.
@manasvi
u didn’t get it bro nd I’m not Akki fan.
I was referring Akshay as an example..i meant that Dhoom3 success credit majorly goes to brand value. Aamir’s presence added 10cr max…agree or not.
its like Singham 2.
Rohit shetty+Ajay+brand=32
Ajay can’t take all the credit..
No offense to Ajay’s fans…im too fan of his acting.
nd to ur concern..i m a huge fan of Hrithik nd eagerly waiting for Mohenjodaro poster release!
@challu:
Hahaha…don2 has nill song!!!! Abey ANDHI ho gaya kya??? it even has an item song featuring Lara dutta. So how does it bcm a songless movie??
Global bhagoda starring in a movie and not doing promotion, is it possible??? Even the darpok himself will Lough on you.
If movies are not for BO performance then WTH your global bhagoda releases them in theatres??? Why does not he directly release them in YouTube and television??? Also WTH you bhagodawalas predict 400cr/500cr for each bhagoda release???
@Abhay Malhotra
Please tell @Daniel 7.17 and @Abhay Malhotra 8.48 that they both forgot to put alphabet (V) after (e) as they both spelt Devgn name like this… (Deegan). Very identical comment @Abhay Malhotra.
Are you a Salman fan now or still Aamir?
Shame on you chameleon!!
@aisha, so you will teach me spellings? you better worry about your star’s career. and you are a perfect example of illiterate women in our country as you don’t even know that 2 people can make spelling mistakes. not a big deal. @Daniel is lallu fan and i would spit on myself to even consider myself as lallu fan. that bhojpuri actor never is in my favorite list. I only love Megastar Aamir Khan and Hrithik Rohan. I told you that if this dumb creature @Koyla Lallu fan doesn’t stop bashing aamir, you will see the return of old Abhay Malhotra. Being a man of my words, i kept my word and ignored that loon number of times for 2 weeks and for that matter, i didn’t even open ajay’s latest Shivaay poster article. here, also i was supposed to ignore your koyla, but this moron once again provoked me by bashing the biggest megastar of the country and of course internationally. I replied back. small actors’ fans have no right to blabber any crap against biggest megastar like Aamir Khan, so if small actors’ fans like you want megastar’s fans not to bash, then you small actors’ fans better respect the biggest ruling megastar aamir khan. get this you wise over acting woman.
@Shobib or sharabi, whatever, same logic wise hrithik also doesn’t get all the credit for dhoom 2’s opening because dhoom 1 was also a big success and it was a brand ever since the first part. if aamir doesn’t get all credit then neither hrithik does. what’s your problem kiddo? why creating troubles for hrithik? are you trying to create haters for hrithik? i said i like hrithik and i ended the discussion but you seem you really want me to bash hrithik. I won’t hesitate to bash hrithik if you don’t stop ranting against megastar aamir khan. mohenjo daro is releasing within 2 months. it’s also facing a clash. so you better be decent, polite and only praise hrithik, and don’t try to degrade biggest superstar aamir khan. it’s your own loss.
Note. other hrithik fans, i have nothing against hrithik and i also look forward to watch mohenjo daro, but this moron is keep provoking me to bash hrithik by bashing aamir. so it’s a tit for tat.
@abhishek hrithikian, dude if aamir is your favorite then you shouldn’t try to take away credit from him especially as you are hrithik fan, so same can be applied for hrithik as well. I also love hrithik and i support him when lallu fans, makkhi fans or over actor fans bash him. only actors i hate from beginning are srk and salman. and now i hate makkhi and koyla also because of his cheap lunatic fans. But i won’t bash hrihtik because of his fans like you and Shojib.
ou.
@daniel, @abhay- I know u both r same…coward I have seen ur worst comments on ajay sir and salman sir from last one year..thats y I have become more rigid2 show u aukaat of ur deshdrohi amir khan… already I have started phenomena called Boycott dangal..support is increasing day by day for boycotting dangal…when movie releases u will come2 know how many people will boycott this EdX made star Tingu khans films
SIngham returns opening and success credit goes to surya. Surya was the real Singham. Ajay looked like a C grade joker villain in Singham rather than hero. And tiktik is nothing without his Papa and tik tik looked like a joker in koi mil gaya, Main lallu kind deewani hoon, mujh Jaise joker se dosti karoge, non flying kites, mosquitoe kind guzaarish, etc.
Oh wow!!! Did I just see some Ajay fan blabbering against Numero Uno megastar Aamir Khan? Can’t believe. I mean hates off to that guy that he has shown such daring by bashing a Global Megastar like Aamir Khan despite being him being fan of a small local stardom less flop actor like Ajay devgan. ???????? Ajay won’t even in his dreams get a chance to be part of big franchise like dhoom as he is ugliest looking joker and doesn’t even have stardom to compete with arjuna kapoor, but still his entertaining fan @Ajay Salman fan (may be he needs Aamir’s competitor Salman’s fans support) is really good entertainer to make us laugh. Low puny stardom actor FlopJay’s aukaat is not to even touch Megastar like Aamir Khan in stardom and popularity and he can’t even give half as many ATBB as Aamir in his whole life. So hates off his “ekka duka” fans. I loved the way he used hrithik’s name and praise hrithik so Salman fans support + hrithik fans support free. Nice strategy to beg Salman fans and hrithik fans combined to make shivaay a hit because Karan Johar clash is enough to show Flopjay’s aukaat without Rohit shetty and multistarrers.
@Shojb. I may agree on Aamir but he did not start the franchise in short he is the 3rd actor to act in that successful series. Meanwhile had Hsfl 3 collected 25 cr nobody will say it does not go to.Akki more. Nobody will write big franchise + Rohit + Ajay. It is not compulsory as you can see with what was categorised as biggest movie of the half year, big franchise and Feroz /Sajid too. As for Ajay he gets 85% of credit because the prequel was a blockbuster, it was still Ajay that launched the original still, the Trp is all time 3rd or 4th best,still Ajay was the producer of the movie still it had Rohit who always thank Ajay for giving him a chance from Zameen to date. So Don’t abide with indicine look at it I’m another way round. It’s like saying Yash and Srk Kabir and Salman akki and Neeraj only difference all were established directors before them but Ajay used a experimental no experience director to limelight. National holiday but other superstars failed in giving half of SR opening day. As you can see Independence release remains way below / below post ipl lucrative occasion. Don’t take away from Ajay instead you have to congratulate him.
@Chaadi holik just look at the dislike you get anytime you bring @aisha name. Not first 2nd 8th but 50 times or more. she is way ahead of you in many aspect so mind how you talk to her. As a grown up have some self respect. Just yesterday she did not hide a biasness to rate holiday rajneeti Rowdy Rathode as best released movies meaning she has no hatred in addition what she said is true. You need bournvita
1 like 15 dislikes on Akki related post? it says it all people always find her points straight not zigzag and fooling ofs you.
@Aisha sister ; I suprised you don’t know this @Abhay Malhotra. That’s his habit. @Ajay Salman fan did not say anything today but he is pouring his all anger on Ajay Sir meaning he hates him ever since. That @Daniel I have never seen his comment but agree with the same identical words spelling used and same page he commented. Such a loser @Myanmar @uuvraj was right he is the biggest chameleon and Ajay Sir hater. Stooping so low to bash Ajay. He is idiot chameleon. Indicine please very@Daniel @ Abhay address. They are same people and causing spoiling your very good site. I believe it’s good sometime you catch them red handed and inform we the public. So that he does not go on annoyinh other registered and not registered site readers. Thanks please just verify thank
@aisha this @Abhay Malhotra is an epic chameleon. I dont know whose fan he is but he is trying to instigate war between Aamir and Salman, Ajay, Hrithik fans.
He even copied some of Rew1’s comments to make people think he is Rew1.
Ha ha well done @aisha …!
So that @MAAL-hotra caught red-handed !!!
@Prashant Abjishek,you’re wrong,KING SRK sacrificed EID for HIS little brother ADITYAJI not because of salman.if salman wouldn’t have associated with YRF,then RAEES would have released in EID.that’s the reality.they said us bhagoda,so what?WE never take that seriously because WE KNOW OUR MEGASTAR’S POWER and their remake star’s power—-DON VS jaaneman,ha ha ha ha.especially ignore that roadside rikshawala beggar tiger’s barking.
@tiger-the real chuha,so what about 19CR OF FAN?????that also with out masala genre/South remake/HEROINE/entertainment+IPL effect.if you’re talking about RAM NAVAMY then IT’S not a major holiday and office/shook are not closed on this day,if also IT got then IT neutralised by
IPL EFFECT.so don’t bark much like a born oxymoron which exactly you roadside bhojpuris are.
1st of all Dhoom is not an independent brand like DON or dabang or singham.IT’S BIGGEST BRAND of all time ,it’s the brand of multiple actors that’s why IT becomes big success.otherwise we know amir KHAN has no star power to pu audience.last time raju hirani+amir khan came on with 3900 screen,still gave only 26 CR far lower occupancy like kick’s 25cr in 3500 screen compared to occupancy of DILWALE’S 21 CR collection from 2800 screen.as all were non holiday releases.
While dabang-!! is a typical sadakchap masala entertainer with lots of masala songs and on the other hand DON 2 IS A DARK THRILLER with no chartbuster song.
even this time mark my words,dangal pandey can’t cross 30cr on 18th December if any bhjpuris are thinking amir KHAN is such a big star, ROFL.
KING SRK’S HNY RECORD will be broken by HIMSELF only after lallu repeatedly failed to break that.
you can give big trending films based on masala contents on EID/CHRISTMAS,but you can’t be THE GENERATION RULE/ALL TIME BIGGEST MEGASTAR AN CAN’T ACHIEVE THE MEGA CROWD PULLING POWER OF THE SELF MADE GLOBAL MEGASTAR.
@manasvi
bro ur still getting it wrong…or other way u misunderstood me.
I hav nothing against Aamir. I absolutely loved Tare zameen par, rang de basanti, 3idiots. He also gave record breaking opening with PK!
I only mentioned Dhoom 3 opening majorly goes to brand value…that it.
I didn’t arise any questions against his stardom. bt u didn’t get that from the beginning!
nd I never said dhoom 2 success goes to Hrithik only.
Finally watch ur language friend. I didn’t abuse ur name or anything..
@abhay malhotra
bro, sorry to notice that I hurt ur feelings.
I hav nothing against Aamir khan. I love his dedication to all his projects…nd waiting to watch his Dangal transformation.
@darshan
bro I get ur point. In a yes…its solely Ajay who made Singham franchise this big! his style nd charismatic performance took the first part to a different level..
its also true that ajay is the reason behind rohit shetty’s position in the industry.
These @abhay chameleon-tra biggest chameleon indicine site. I think he srk fan..
I think @suchit @dineal @abhay are same person.
@Ajay salman fan, how many actors are your favorite? stick to one man, don’t hide behind salman just because he is much bigger star than ajay and has way more fan following than ajay. what is you tingu ajay fan to start campaign againt dangal? so ajay fan will try to stop biggest megastar aamir khan’s movie? keep making us laugh. worry about ajay’s career first as he hasn’t given a single hit since last 3 years and this time he will clash against much bigger director karan johar. get well soon stardom less ugly ajay fan.
Same crap again again
