Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2nd Weekend Box Office Collections

Bajrangi Bhaijaan has shown excellent escalation in business on Sunday, with the average growth from Saturday to Sunday at around 10-20% mark. The film is looking at Sunday collections in the range of 23-24 crore, as per early estimates, which is the highest collections of all time on 2nd Sunday.

The growth on Saturday was record-breaking at 55% and occupancy for most parts of the day on Sunday was higher than Saturday. Parts of Gujarat and Maharastra were affected by heavy rain on Sunday.

The first 10 days collections of ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ will be around the Rs 240-241 crore mark. The film is now, officially, the highest grossing Salman Khan film ahead of ‘KICK’ and has also become the highest Eid grosser.

‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ will beat the record of ‘Krrish 3’ on Monday and could go on to beat ‘Dhoom 3’ by the end of its second week. It’ll be interesting to see how the film holds up during the weekdays, because multiplex tickets will be selling at lower prices and the film has maintained high occupancy levels throughout its 10-day run.

‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ has also performed very well in the overseas markets. When the collections from North America come in, the film is likely to cross the 100 crore mark overseas. It’ll be the first Salman Khan film to do 100 crore business from the overseas markets alone.

The global gross box office collections of the film has now crossed the 400 crore mark, again a first for Salman Khan. Chennai Express in 2013 collected Rs 425 crore worldwide and that is likely to have been surpassed when the final 2nd weekend collections from the overseas markets come in.

‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ is certain to gross in excess of Rs 500 crore and has an outside chance of grossing more than 600 crore worldwide, if the film sustains after the release of ‘Drishyam’

Do note, that all figures are early estimates only. There could be a 5% difference when the actual figures are released.
