According to UTV Motion Pictures, Chennai Express has collected Rs 33.12 crore on its opening day at the domestic box office. The Shahrukh Khan starrer has smashed all previous box-office records including the opening day (and highest single day business) record set by Ek Tha Tiger last year during Eid.
The film has collected close to Rs 40 crore, including paid previews on Thursday.
Today (Saturday) is a holiday in most parts of the country, so the drop is unlikely to be as huge as Ek Tha Tiger, which collected Rs 14.52 crore on Day 2 – a drop of 55% from its record opening day.
We expect Chennai Express to collect around Rs 85 crore in its first weekend. The SRK – Deepika Padukone film also has a reasonably good chance to be the fastest film to 100 crore.

Indicine, haven’t you got twitter reviews of this movie from public figures? You used to publish them for couple of previous movies.
Anupama, have you ever come across one negative review from a celebrity? What’s the point?
So king does it.. Now haters will say its fake collections n wat not.. Point is despite such huge paid previews it is a 33cr+ opening record!! Yay srk king khan!!
BREAKING news : A Tiger was found dead on railway tracks.reporters says it was crushed by ?#? ChennaiExpress train?!
Now srkians enjoy the new records
1 highest paid preview
2 highest openning day
3 highest saturday
4 highest sunday
5 highest single day
6 highest weekend
7 highest weekdays
8 highest 7days collections
9 highest 2nd weekend
10 highest 2nd week collections
11 highest lifetime collections
So my prediction is right as i said its opening day collection will be slightly above or below ett so it collected 20 lac more what ett did, and paid preview not effected first day collection, 3 idiots collected huge in paid preview but his first day was also the highest so ce started the way it expected lets see how far it goes from here now and srk fans perhaps forget its rohit setty movie who has his own fan following.
Chennai Express opened on its 1st Friday spectacularly at the Domestic Box Office. The film on its opening day alone has earned whooping 33.10 crores, smashing all previous highest opening day record of any film. With that the film’s total income already rests at 39.85 crores, adding the film’s collections from its preview shows.SRK has seen a release after last year’s Yash Chopra directorial Jab Tak Hai Jaan. And being a star of his magnitude, the response is naturally huge and overwhelming.
Chennai Express till yesterday evening had earned over 30 crores and adding the earnings from night shows the film made a magnanimous total beating Salman’s record of highest opening day collections from last Eid when Ek Tha Tiger made 32.92 crores on its Day 1.
Since there is an unsaid competition between the stars, box office numbers have marginally favoured SRK over Salman this time.
