The Jungle Book is on a phenomenal run at the India box office, as the trend during the weekdays is beyond fantastic. The film is carrying better word-of-mouth than all other films released in 2016. In fact, the Hollywood film is performing well at smaller centres too, where even the biggest Hindi success of the year – Airlift – did not perform very well.
No other Hindi dubbed film, except Baahubali, has performed as well as ‘The Jungle Book’ and no other Hollywood film has sustained so well either. The business of the film has shown a big jump of more than 10% on Wednesday, which is a sign that the film will not only get plenty of shows in its second weekend, but hold strongly inspite of a massive Hindi film releasing in theatres.
With ‘The Jungle Book’ performing so well, word-of-mouth has become even more important for Shah Rukh Khan’s FAN. The film is set for a good opening on Friday, but ‘The Jungle Book’ has the potential to eat into its business on Saturday and Sunday if the word-of-mouth of FAN isn’t positive.
Unlike more commercial films featuring SRK in the lead, FAN has limited appeal at single-screens and mass-centres, so business at cities, especially at metros, will be crucial if the film has perform.

i said it the first time i saw Jungle Book,this film will beat Fast & Furious 7 record without a dought ,the weekdays collections are even better than opening day collection of most 2016 films.
Fan’s collection will seriously be affected this weekend,if JB collected 7cr+ on Mon-Thu,wonder what will be the collection on weekend.
What would have happened if they had clashed?
@indicine I agree but still dilwale budget is not too high it’s only expectation from srk which put film in avg zone
1st day of fan for all fans of srk.srk fans r huge..lets see what happens..30cr opening for fan film…the jungle book may done good busineess but not as competitors…..as bajirao n dilwale…
Thanks indicine. Negetivity is the best way for promotions. FAN will definitely go beyond your expectations.
Jungle book is good movie no doubt .but here one star….one man army …the real hero..srk…
So stop barking ..and go and book ur tickets for fan..
Realy excited…..
Reviews r comming …fabulous..and outstanding …
Love u Don
@anand the original, FAN will do minimum 150 crore even with negative word of mouth.is ur salman bhai have daring to release his films on non holiday ?
Seriously srk is really unlucky . First Star wars the force awakens affected Dilwale’s biz in overseas and to a small extent in domistic too …
Now crappy jungle book !!
Disney should have released jungle book two weeks before Fan it would have collected much more … but now both Fan and jungle book will eat each others biz !!
Again I would say Fan will eat jungle books biz a lot if it gets a wide release ….!!!
We are not like bhai fans to complain like they did with baahubali .
Mark my words fan will struggle to cross 100 cr.
@XZone, I dont trust Zebra fans like you. Last time you lost to Tiger, but you haven’t accept yourself to beva slave of his. First submit yourself to your owner!!!
reviews will be out in 2 3 hours.. the first show has begun in abu dhabi. Response for the day shows is really poor bt hope it picks up evening onwards
hope fan does well at bo tomorrow…..and waiting for the review…….and about morron talking about lulltan beating raees with like and view on YouTube….what the point????? even lulltan have break every record of bo…..it doesn’t make any difference…he is still doesn’t receive what SRK has receiving so far……srk is beyond bo and number….he is the best……good luck srk love you…..no matter what happens…..ummmuaaahhhh
Hey Indicine this is the most disappointing article coming from a well respected site like you. No need to create negativity for a film before its release. Even if your article is correct, there was no need to publish it today. You could have published the same on Monday if indeed the film got impacted. Also genuinely feel its important for reputed sites like yours to spread positivity about the film, irrespective of star. Disappointed by the timing of article!!!
@Prashant, are you suffering from Selective amnesia? What about Ready? It was a blockbuster!!
But phanka is yet to be released and proven a hit.
Just imagine the impact of jungle book on FAN if released on 15th april…?
Watching Jungle Book again this Friday then Fan on Saturday,no one expected JB to do this kind of Bussiness.
As @indicine said JB is family film while Fan will be targeting a certain audience.
@nawaab, jerk. The opening day record still belongs to SRK, so does the opening weekend record.
Comparing a Christmas release directed by Rajkumar Hirani to an April non-holiday release during IPL shows your level of intellect kid.
#Kaali
I am expecting 17 cr plus opening.
@ Indicine : When today shall we expect your update and FBO?
@ANK, late evening.
Srk to his Fans :
Pehele Jungle book ne Screens Chine li,
Phir Salman ne EID Chine li,
Ek din aisa waqt aayega ki Tushar Kapoor movie Chine lega….
Too Much Fun…..
I wonder how was it so important for @indicine to publish this kind of an article a day before the release of FAN.
I wonder why there was no such article a day before Bajrangi Bhaijaan released, despite the fact that Bahubali was performing phenomenally well.
Good, that you believe in doing your research & analysis but that should be applicable to all movies.
#Kaali
@indicine
Actually your FBO is set to wrong giving the craze and public response so you are spreading negativity to make your FBO right…….
Cheap Publicity…..
@Rohit N – 11:47 am
That same KRK tweeted again few minutes ago . Did u see that ?
He said – ” What a terrific n Zabardast film #FAN and what a great acting of @iamsrk! It’s Full of human emotions. My 4* to first half. ”
What about that ?
Mowgli wil dominate tis weeknd also…no chance for gaurav/kusum
@Javed u are already cringing about how Jungle Book is gonna affect FAN and then saying ‘We are not like Salman fans who blamed Bahubali eating into Bajrangi collections’ Lol!
Srk fans are 100% pure chameleons they know how to twist the situations. If Fan open well then they are like this is the stardom of srk if not then they will definitely blame jungle book for its bad opening clash and Hollywood flick bla bla. Srk didnt even confront wid little yesteryear actor ranveer singh last cristmas and failed miserably and his stupid fans are dreaming to clash raees wid Megastar Slaman khan.
So Srk fans are mad @indicine for giving an honest opinion,i mean are so blind that you cannot see how well Jungle Book has been accepted by the audience.
Jungle Book will achieve something which alot of big hollywood films have failed to do in India and that is to beat Fast and Furious 7.
Wil watch jungle book tis saturday/sunday
#nofan
@roushan, there would have been no impact. The makers pre poned Jungle Book because they did not want to clash with FAN.
Plus, they wouldn’t have got enough screens too.
Also, there will be no impact on FAN tomorrow, good WOM will ensure everything that comes in the way of FAN will be blown away :)
#Kaali
The Phenom.. that’s good.. I’ll be happy if it does well on word-of-mouth. Opening will be disappointment for sure.
@ Indicine : Great.
I mistakenly thought that you will be updating last night and so remained up for most part of the night waiting for it.
Anyways eagerly awaiting your update.
@ANK, FBO is always updated on Thursday evening, after we get the exact screen count.
Honestly I have a felling that FAN will open under 15 cr. It may fell short of 100 cr domestically.
