Chennai Express Box Office Opening Update

After starting its much-awaited journey at the box office on Thursday, Shahrukh Khan’s Chennai Express is on track to surpass the opening day record set by Salman Khan’s Ek Tha Tiger last year.

The film is running to packed houses across the country, some places are below the mark but should pick up as the muslim section of the audience come out in numbers to watch the film.

Chennai Express is best in Mumbai, Mysore, West Bengal, South India, Nizam – where the morning and noon shows were in 85-90%. Delhi/UP is 65-70%, while business in Punjab is around 60%.

Still, with increased ticket prices, huge number of shows at every multiplex, the ‘family entertainer’ tag.. Chennai Express looks almost certain to cross the 30 crore mark, unless business dips towards the end of the day.

Saturday is holiday in most parts of the country, so Chennai Express has a reasonably good chance of crossing the 80 crore mark in its first weekend itself.
