‘Sultan’ will be Salman Khan’s longest film this decade, as the film is 4 minutes longer than ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’ and 10 minutes longer than his biggest grosser ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’.
While runtime does not make a difference to the lifetime collections of films, it could have a significant impact on the opening day collections – especially for films that are targeting record opening at the box office.
A 120-minute film like ‘Dabangg 2’ can be played 6-7 times in a day per multiplex screen, because the ‘turnaround’ time per show will be around 140-145 minutes (time gap between the beginning of one show and the next – which includes runtime of a film plus added time for theatre clean-up, audience exit / enter etc).
Whereas, a film like ‘Sultan’ can only get 4-5 shows per screen, as the ‘turnaround’ time crosses the 3 hour mark and goes to around 190-195 minutes. On an all-India level, this could mean a negative impact of around 10% on Day 1 business.
Check out the runtime comparison between Sultan and other big films.

@xzone sorry but not funny at all. No need to degrade any profession be it rickshaw wala or auto walas. Don’t insult any profession because of hate towards someone. Even autowalas and ricksaw wala is contributing a lot in daily life of many people. You can troll in better way rather than being regressive and offensive.
@Anand_The Duplicat 12:49 pm….

Hny
Less screen, low price, less occupancy thn prdp… and more runtime….
How highest opening??? How!!
Sultan will cross 40cr opening day
Just keep waiting and Insha Allah reality will be revealed on July 16, 2016.Sultan would have easily crossed 200 crore mark and will be chasing 300 chores.
I hope Sultan will do 299 Cr. but not 300 as I want MD to be 3rd film to enter in 300 Cr. club.
Run time doesn’t matter, only containt matters!
Waiting for Sultan and MD two biggest movies of the year
Not worried about day 1 or first weekend cause I know it will be huge but hope content will be good.
This year only Sultan, Shivaay and MD, Bhagoda khan toh aghe saal main bhag guya hai, Lol on Srk
#Boycot Rustom, only MD this independence day.
@ yes xzone pls continue to prove that you are biggest c
Too much fun
@indicine,you missed bhai’s veer(2010)’s run time here as you gave run time of dabang released in same year.though we can know from Wikipedia/IMDb.
btw though veer/jail ho’s runtime is short,so it’s collection too short also,rofl.
today movies are basing on appreciation of audiences.
KING OF OPENING —-KING SRK
KING OF MOVIES—-SCRIPT
so when THESE too THINGS combines,Then EVERY RECORD SHATTERS.
in 2010,salman got everything Kabir Papa+Harshali Malhotra+EID,still couldn’t shatter all record.
And not 1,2 with 3 movies bhai chased HNY OPENING.
my suggestion to sallu,why you’re still trying,tujhse na ho payega.and finally please do agree you’re chota star and not even comes closer to THE MEGASTARDOM CROWD PULLING POWER OF THE KING OF BOLLYWOOD.
but this movie phultan is a complete crap entertainer like gunday.
As we can see day by day the buzz is decreasing with each crapiest songs passes by.
So our bhai thought to do a different level of promotion and he SUCCEDED too with ‘raped women’ statement,the phultan buzz increased.as our media made date salman is well known for such gimmick.
Last year due to RAEES TRAILER bb got a decent opening ,he need not to do any promotion which he did with out that support.
Btw I wanna say salman try your level best,you’ll always remain a little star to your ACTOR+MEGASTAR THE BADSHAH KHAN.
if you failed to do 53cr this time with huge screen+all advantages of ticket price,the inflation of 2 YEARS OLDER RELEASE HNY’S approximate today collection will be 58CR,so if you can’t do at least 53CR,then whole Bollywood and it’s viewer will term you a loser as smaller star to KING SRK,amir,hrithik, that’s it.
Meanwhile sallu fans are busying to to show prdp broken HNY in their dream land aka lalluland,rofl.ha ha ha ha occupancy is my foot,it can be obtained by paying to the distributors and fraud sites like boi.com,rofl.
@Aunt 11:28 am & 11:41 am : Though what you wrote was difficult to decode because there were no punctuation marks expounding where to stop or where to take a pause while reading your rant, it’s evident that your ‘unique’ writing style is inspired form the mindless craps of non-actor, because it’s equally difficult to decide whether to stay or run out of the theater when you watch those torturous flicks.
@Lunatic 12:00 pm : I’m happy that you finally got the courage to give me a reply after playing hide-n-seek for almost an year. So listen lunatic, I never said auto-drivers are not human beings. It’s you loons who are having issues with me comparing you all with auto-walah. If you have so much respect for them, why don’t you keep quiet ? But the oppressive and feudal mind inside you prompts you to rebel when someone compares you with an auto-driver. Bloody double standard chameleon.
@Sky 1:19 pm : Thanks but when did I degrade the profession or wrote offensive about Auto-Drivers ?
It’s a fact that majority of auto-drivers, road side shopkeepers, milkmen, news-paper delivery boy etc have a huge craze for Salman Khan and his movies. Perhaps they get more ignited and excited when they see mindless action of their favorite star on the big screen. Yes, again that doesn’t mean all those people are interested in mindless action only , they might have their own preferences and hence I used the word ‘Majority’.
Next, I don’t think it was an exaggeration when I said there will be an ‘uncalled’ strike on the release day of Sultan. Obviously all these people (whom I have mentioned above in my comment) will rush towards theatre to anticipate and cheer their idol.
So I am not sure what made you to think that my comment was offensive and an insult towards their profession. If calling a person- who drives auto-rickshaw- an ‘auto-drivers’ offends you, then better you suggest an appropriate term for them and form next time I will use that terminology.
