Chennai Express is all set to cross the 150 crore mark on Independence Day, as almost every show throughout the day was running to 10-20% better occupancy compared to Wednesday. Looking at the current trends (9PM), the film is likely to collect around 15 crore net.
The film is performing extra-ordinarily well in the Delhi/UP circuit which started slow last week. West Bengal and Mysore circuits are record-breaking with 85%+ occupancy. Mumbai, Nizam, Gujarat-Saurashtra are strong too.
The trend on National Holidays is similar to Sunday business, the morning – noon – evening shows get the best response. Business then tends to slow down for the night shows, as the following day is a working day.
Chennai Express has retained most screens today, and also has more shows than Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobaara at multiplexes, which is why the film is leading in every circuit even though OUATIMD opened very well today. The real competition between the two films begins tomorrow, as the Akshay Kumar starrer will have a much wider release.

Waiting for final figures and how OUATIMD and CE affect each other.
India has the greatest number of fools in the world. Running after such crap movies.
Its atleast 152+ crores for 7 days. Thats incredible.
All it needs is a 50 crores business from here on out to get to 3 IDIOTS 202 crores.
The 2nd weekend & 2nd week will decide if CE can hit the magical 200 crores mark.
If it does, it will only be a 2nd movie to do it since 3 IDIOTS & CE will also have a chance at 3 IDIOTS record.
CE atleast needs a 35 crores business on 2nd SATURDAY & 2nd SUNDAY. we’ll wait & see.
