Chennai Express dropped by around 65-70% on its 2nd Friday at the box office. A significant dip in business on the first day of the second weekend was pretty much expected as it was working day and Akshay Kumar’s Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobaara also had a wide release in theatres.
With around 7 crore of business on Friday, Chennai Express has now collected around 164 crore in 8 days (including previews). The Rohit Shetty film is still well on-course to cross the 200 crore mark, but a lot would depend on how well it fares on Saturday and Sunday. If there is any escalation in business for the late evening / night shows today and the entire day tomorrow, Chennai Express will have a very good chance of crossing the lifetime business of 3 Idiots (202 cr) next week.
The film is on a record-breaking spree in South India. Business in cities like Bangalore, Chennai, Coimbatore, Mangalore, Hyderabad, Trivandrum, Cochin and even smaller towns is outstanding. Likely to break the 3 Idiots record by a distance!
Note: UTV is yet to release the official figure of Chennai Express. This page will be updated if and when they send the actuals.

If ce col 35cr min 2nd week then ce sure cross 200cr, so rejoice time for srkian we expect huge groth from sat and sun as ouatimd downfall started already.
after BALAJi’s number inflation fiasco yesterday….both UTV and BALAJI are battling to pump up their collections………OUATIMD is a goner…C.E will do 200cr
SRK ROCKZZZZZ!!!!! HATERS SHOCKED!!!!!!!!!!
OUATIMD, u are ruined. U r not only ruining yourself, u are also hindering Chennai Express from breaking 3 idiots record. So atleast serve some useful purpose and return your screens to CE so that more records may be broken.
Reduced screen size makes no difference. U need big screen size only for good opening. 3 idiots did 202 crores with only 1300 screens. No reason why CE can’t do the same now.
i think it is 11.50cr on 2nd friday ce.
highly highlighted film with no substance. national shame for india
great Chance to cross 200cr
it might finish at 205-210 crores…
Looks like 3idiots is in danger !!!
In case of bad situation, chennai express can cross 202 mark.
Sau Sunar ki to Ek Lohar Ki… Now SRK is Having the Last Laugh… As SRK Him Self Says… If You Desire to Blossom like a Rose in Garden, You Have to Learn the Art of Adjusting With the thorns
Ce has a gud chance to cross 200 bt it needs open week. It will be a record with a great competition.
its going to b more atleast 9 crs .. 7 is not bad either..
7 crore! hahaha
I dont think it will touch 200 crore.
65% ? Ha. ha…
no chance of beating even ranbir’s yeh jawani dewani record.
huge
sat_9 cr..sun_11 cr…2nd weekend_28cr….2nd week_42 cr…..remaining week 12 cr…so liftime must be cross 210 cr+
3 idiots record will be broken by ce in thus week….bcoz ouatimd wom is so negative

admin it should be 10 crores nett as other sites are saying it please check your fig
Indicine,how was the response for OUTIMD and its word of mouth? And do you think these are good enough figures for second Friday? Do you really think what CE can break magical 3I record?
@indicine…bt some sources r saying that it has collected 10 cr on second friday??
Though, 7 cr is also a decent number considering the competition and collections it already did..
saw it yesterday….brilliant film..awesome srk all the wayyy….
I expected atleast 10 crs . .
But it’s 7 crs. .
But still have chance to beat 3i records. .
Hope we can see huge groth sat and sun, and twesday is a rakha bhandan so just 40cr need to break 3i record which is likely possible lets see what happen
Another record is shattered………
CE collected whooping 72 crores at the Overseas Box Office. Chennai Express now holds the record of Highest Week 1 Grosser at the Overseas Box Office.
