The early estimates for the first 3 days are out and it’s record-breaking. Ek Tha Tiger has collected approximately Rs 58 crores nett, going past the 53 crore mark of Ra One (hindi version) – setting a new record for the initial 3 day weekend.
What’s been slightly disappointing is the collections on Friday, as the film was expected to sustain at a similar level as Thursday. But the all-India drop yesterday was around 15-20%, which takes the third day collections to Rs 11.5 crore nett.
Like we’ve said before, the next three days will be crucial. The Ramadan period will be over and muslim audience – where Salman commands a strong fan-following – should come out in huge numbers to watch the film.
We have just received weekend figures from an official source. Breakdown for the weekend (actuals) is below.
- Wednesday – 33 crores
- Thursday – 15 crores
- Friday – 13 crores
- Total – 61 crores nett gross

so wat if ra.one was released in othr languages..it was released in india nly..releasing in othr languages didn’t made it a hollywood muvi..d collections should be counted den we ll talk abt records..
Worst film.
@wasim srk ki wo film to 12 crore ki opening bhi nahi le payegi,forget 35 crore.utna to shayad uska lifetime collection hoga.
Sirf diwali ka intjaar karo 35 cr se plus ho sakta hai
Tha king of romance after diwali
If you take regional versions of ra.one (where ra.one hindi didnt release), ett falls short even though ett came with more no. Of prints than ra.one
what a pity !! sallu fans are waiting for eid as if all depends on eid, ett is gone now………khallas!!
Ett ki hawa nikal gayi na.
Now 100 crores seems to very difficult.
3days-57 crore
sat.-10 crore
sun.- 13 crore
monday-14crore
from tuesday it will crash abruptly
Kabir Khan’s much-hyped movie Ek Tha Tiger has started with a bang at the overseas Box Office on the first day of its release. The romantic-action thriller has done a wonderful collection beating all old records in USA, UAE, UK, New Zealand and Australia. It has almost broken the first weekend collection records including that of Salman Khan’s previous movie Dabangg at the international collection centres in just two days.
Ek Tha Tiger has also got wonderful opening at the USA Box Office. The Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif starrer has collected Rs 1.90 crores ($341,000) in the country in two days and collection of some screens is yet to be reported. Its break up is $209,000 on Wed and $132,000 on Thur. It has beaten all previous records in the country.
Ek Tha Tiger has received earth shattering response at the UAE Box Office. The movie has collected Rs 96.98 lakhs ($174,000) on Wednesday. Its business witnessed a little growth on the second with its collection crossing Rs 98.65 lakhs ($177,000) on Thursday. The movie has grossed Rs 1.95 crore ($351,000) in the country.
Salman-Katrina starrer has had very good start at the UK Box Office. Ek Tha Tiger has raked in Rs 85.23 lakhs (£97,457) on Wednesday. Its business saw nearly 50% dip with its second day earning reaching Rs 39.33 lakhs (£44,980) on Thursday. It has grossed a total of Rs 1.24 crore (£142,437) in two days.
Ek Tha Tiger has collected Rs 42.13 lakhs (A$72,545) on Wednesday and Rs 23.55 lakhs (A$40,559) on Thursday at the Australia Box Office. Its two days’ total collection Rs 65.69 lakhs (A$113,104) is better than the first weekend collection of Dabangg (Rs 54.56 lakhs ($1,26,000)). It has collected Rs 10.40 lakhs (NZ$ 23,139) at the New Zealand Box Office on Thursday.

Ek Tha Tiger Smashes All Records Gangs Of Wasseypur Part 2 Is Flop

Ek Tha Tiger released on Wednesday and smashed all initial records by a distance. It got a tremendous boost as it was a national holiday, the collections came down after Wednesday but its still done record business for the first weekend (first three days). The film is a hit and the collections after Ramadan will tell how big a hit it emerges.
@indicine team…with so much screen….high price hike for ticket…no competition from anywhere…..is tiger collection is good….?????????????????????????ek tha tiger is a rejected movie…bodyguard has good story…dabang has good acting but this tiger has nothing except some mindless action….very very weak story
Waao nice to see here that Ek Tha Tiger broke highest weekend record of Ra.1.
At first opening day and biggest single day records have beaten by Ek Tha Tiger. Now weekend record broke. Nice lets wait and watch, reco
a new strategy to create negativity for ett by great mr rahul….gud luck with that…according to all you haters bodyguard was rejected as well which was the biggest blockbuster of 2011 lets see if it works for you this time or not……
now bodyguard had a good story last year it was crap to you grow up…………
@wasim….diwali ke baad hamara srk, king of romance se emperor of romance honge:D
tab dekhna yeh ek tha chooha fans ki halat;)
Kabir Khan’s fantastic direction, Sizzling Chemistry of SALMAN-KAT, Exotic Locations, Breath-Taking Action scenes . Overall a Complete Entertainer and a Must watch . You just can’t miss it !!
Srk rocksss so finally ra one won in 3 day weekend as ett has around 57.5 crs n ra one’s all india figures are 59.75 crs despite the fact that ett 31.5 crs beat ra one’s 25.5 crs collection by 6 crs
ra one 3 day holiday nd no fast roja
so wait till sunday
infact ra one release in 3 d
500 screens
Indicine ek tha tiger saturday collection updates
sorry indicine but u hv to count d regional versions as well so its 59-60 crore fr ra.one
What ever indicine or salman fans says but guys we know the truth right it actually cold not break ra.one’s all version record. Anyway the source says that Saturday is still running downwards.
Guys.. wait till Monday, everything will be clear.
with more no. of shows, 15% hike in ticket price, still it could not beat ra one weekend record, for ur kind information ra one earned 59 crores with 3000 prints while ett earned 56 crores with 3300 prints
saturday will be 14 crores and sunday 16 and monday 15 crores if everything goes well for ett, then film will crash for sure, life time will be 125 crores, with 32 crore opening this is insanely sad for masala film actor salman
Jo bhi ho jaya yeh film to disaster hain.
After few days people will say ek tha salman
Totally disappointing movie……….3rd day collection was 11 crores……….so poor lesser than cocktails.very very boaring storty line is tha reason of this fall.
@indicine:u told in previous article that if the film was crap then it will collect 75crores in weekend ,but the condition of ett is even worst..will ett be able to collect 100 crores????
@Indicine Team:why you are not clearing the all situation of Disastrous collection of ETT.Biggest fall ever..in bollywood history………Specially in Single Screen poor performence affect it very much
