Bollywood Christmas Day Box Office Collections

The three major films in theatres this weekend – Dilwale, Bajirao Mastani and Star Wars: The Force Awakens – couldn’t really take full advantage of the Christmas holiday. The two Hindi releases were running in their 2nd week at the box office.

On the same day last year, PK collected a record-breaking Rs 27.55 crore on its 7th day, which was about 8% higher than the collections of Dhoom 3 the previous year.

In 2015, the collections on Christmas Day is down by around 15% from last year. In hindsight, a 25th December release, with preview shows starting on 24th, could have proven to be beneficial for Dilwale.

  • 2008: Ghajini (Day 1) = 10 crore
  • 2009: 3 Idiots (Day 1) = 12.5 crore
  • 2010: Tees Maar Khan (Day 2) = 13.5 crore
  • 2011: Don 2 (Day 3) = 17.98 crore
  • 2012: Dabangg 2 (Day 5) = 15.5 crore
  • 2013: Dhoom 3 (Day 6) = 25.52 crore
  • 2014: PK (Day 7) = 27.55 crore
  • 2015: Dilwale (Day 8) + Bajirao Mastani (Day 8) + Star Wars (Day 1) = 23.94 crore

  • #Dilwale is SRK’s 8th consecutive 200 cr grosser WORLDWIDE

    only actor from India to achieve this rare milestone
    Congrats KING KHAN ?

  • So,TMK had showed growth over its previous year’s ATBB 3 Idiots even though,Xmas was the 2nd day and the bad reviews and WOM was already out!

  • Doesn’t make sense that u compare three clashes with pk
    if dilwale was solo release then it had every chance of earning 30 crore on its Christmas holiday irrespective of the wom

  • Let’s just say, baap ek hi hai—–> Aamir Khan.
    Kitne aaye, kitne gaye, koi Christmas ko apna naa bana saka, siwaaye Aamir ke.
    In last 7 years, 4 ATBB and 4 ATHG.

    Ye Christmas mera h aur main iss Christmas ka Jaykant Shikre- Aamir the Ace Khan.
    Dangal 23rd Dec 2016!

  • Tmk could have become a huge hit if the content would have supported it.But for now waiting for Airlift.Dil Chiz Tujhe Dedi n Soch have already become huge chartbusters n film will get a huge boost from that.12+ opening looks certain..

  • Dilwale on it’s way to be declared a B.O. Flop… after a long time such a big film on Christmas holiday release will be given Flop Verdict. ???

  • Aamir used his most successful year
    with pk which was solo release and with solid wom
    salman did with bb which was also solo release it also had solid wom
    what would happen if dilwale got solo release so that srk could show his stardom in contrast to other two khans ….!!!
    it is really unexpected entity ???

  • The combined business of Dilwale and Bajirao Mastani is around 181 crore nett while Bajrangi Bhaijaan was 183.50 crore that is the power off Megastar salman bhia

  • I want salman bhai to release sultan on Diwali 2016
    I want srk to get solo release for Raees
    I want srk to show his acting ability and bo power with Solo release
    it is really not good that his all movies Either face clash or suffer because of controversies.

  • Dear SRK.. Last chance to save SRKian era… #FAN … April 15
    If FAN fail then it will – End of SRKian.

  • My predictions dilwale 155cr
    Bajirao Mastani 175 cr
    Dilwale hit
    Bajirao mastani super-hit

    Dont know why people are upset; i watched Both Films, and both are good

  • Aamir is Christmas Rular for a reason. D3 6th day and PK 7th day collection are higher than Dilwale first day collection & Sunday collection,Yes Dilwale had a clash on first day but still it is incredible.

  • Ghajini is one of Aamirs best films.
    All the films released on Dec month were good with the exception of TMK & Don 2,now Dilwale has joined the list,but TMK is the crappiest of them all

  • This is what happens when a panvati releases his maha panvati movie on festives. Now what excuse Srk fans have for Aamir’s success ? They chanted Xmas release for Aamir’s success. Khud ko badlo aur apni sooch badlo tumhare idol ki taqdeer badlegi !!!!!!!!!!
