FAN was the major release this weekend and the biggest release of year so far. Trade expectations weren’t too high this time around for the Shah Rukh Khan starrer, because FAN was a niche songless thriller. The film was expected to do business in the range of Rs 140 – 150 crore.
FAN opened well at the box office on Friday and critics too gave the film a thumbs up, calling it one of SRK’s best films in a long time. But exhibitors (theatre owners) had a different story to tell. At single-screens, the film took a start but couldn’t sustain. At multiplexes, it was expected to show phenomenal growth on Saturday, that did not happen either. Sunday too, the big jump hasn’t come.
The end result is, the film has found appreciation only with die-hard fans of the superstar. The neutral audience has instead opted to watch ‘The Jungle Book’, which is now matching the collections of FAN at quite a few multiplexes on Sunday.
Coming to the main point of the article, we expect FAN to collect somewhere around Rs 95 crore at the box office. Like Dilwale last year, FAN is a difficult prediction to make too, because the film could still sustain well on Monday and go on to be a decent grosser. But the trend over the weekend doesn’t seem to suggest the film will cross the 100 crore mark. If we don’t get it right, it’ll only be our second incorrect prediction of the year after Fitoor.

@Phenom : What chameleongiri is this ? A movie with budget of 95 crs and collects 113 crs (Jai Ho) and you had been calling Flop. Now another movie with budget of 105 crs and if it collects 95 crs then it will be an Average or Semi Hit !!!!!!! Doob maro sharam se !!!!!!!
@Indicine, what is this? “Because FAN was a niche songless thriller?”
So, do you mean FANs like ‘SSS, Karela Fasal, XZone, ChipKaali’ etc are niche audiences??
Had hogayi yaar! Even you have started giving excuses for FAN’s dismal performance??
Indicine, the name of the film you are talking about is FAN. So, the movie is dedicated to the fans of all levels: Mass, Class and Niche, NO?
So, how come it is a niche thriller when it is targeted for all of his FANs.
Hence, it must be that either he doesn’t have FANs Mass and Class if your claim is true or FAN is not a niche genre but was targeted for all. And it performed dismally!!
Prove me wrong. It is not an art film but a commercial film. You too know that.
The FAN was so dumb not to know that a hindi film doesn’t work without songs!!
Movie
year
collection
chennai express
2013
227 cr
happy new year
2014

dilwale

fan
2016
95 cr
that means Srk’s stardom and perfomance decreasing year by year. After 24 year he is not able to give movie of 100 cr
@fan 500cr:
If critical acclimation is everything not the box office performance then WTH you have created a ID “Fan_500cr”???
Hahahaha.
@hrithik, kindly don’t argue with these shameless morons! They are deniers of the truth. They too know that. Now, FAN will be a super hit at 95 Crores! What a shame!
Jai Ho was made out of 60 Crores budget if I am not mistaken but was sold with 95 crores. And it earned 111 or 115 Crores. That is why it is tagged as a semi hit.
And we accept the verdict…
my final prediction is 99 crore.
jai ho budget of 95 includes Salman fees. fan prod budget alone is 105 cr. no comparison. fan sureshot flop. srk has to pay to avoid flop verdict just like he did for ra one dilwale
95cr means FLOP
SRK will have first flop after a very big time….
@Fasal Kerala- Jai ho official figure is 116cr not 107cr
@ Indicine : I am hoping it will be doing better in overseas. Will u give any update on that?
I know media again manipulation verdict of fan movie just like MNIK, Ra.One and dilwale. I hope so indicine team be neutral.
@Tiger the real Chuhe
Kangna’s Nn holiday movie TWMR collected
150+cr….
Non actors’s Non holiday masala gener Jai ho Only collected 107cr….
Kangna>>>>Non actor salman
Doob Marne Waali Sharm ki Baat!!!
#Fasal kerala
@indicine team, it time to update Sunday collection and daywise compares Jai Ho vs Fan. We all waiting for that. Thanks
@Hritik
This is just a prediction man…
wait & watch the real collection…
#Fasal kerala
FAN isn’t a bad film either if 1weekned 55cr then 1st week min 80cr then it will add just 15cr impossible.
Ha ha ha. I am back. Like i said, fan will be flop and wont cross 100 cr. I am proven right and thats exactly what has happened. Now where is that dumb psycho guy from Kerala who was arguing with me that it will cross 130 cr and 150 cr and 250 cr and bla bla bla? Fusssssss. LOL.
With ‘content rich’ movie even Sonam kapur can give a superhit. Eg- neerja. But our global king highly ‘content rich’ fan is going to be a flop.
Now, a question arises….. Who has more stardom Sonam or our global king??
only hirani can save srk’s carrier now just like he saved aamir’s & sanju’s with 3i & munna mbbs.
srk put an hold to all your future projects & go to hirani & apologize to him for rejecting 3i & beg him to direct a movie for you. and if you cant do that then be ready to drop from current top 5 actors list & then after some years, you will be done with BO & be remembered as a past legend.
Haha I had predicted fan will not cross twmr, airkift and jungle book
Haha so dead right
In bold SRK is over !!!!
thank you SRK for a flim like FAN, we loved his acting that’s what we want to see and King khan made FAN for not bluckbuster that he had mentioned in his interview last year. some people doesnt want to understant it.
@Fasal u have zero knowledge about Bollywood,Plz Stop commenting or come with accurate things.
Indicine completely called brothers a flop on 85 crs so I m hoping the same for fan if fan failed to do more then 110 crs.
@Myanmar NYC nd yeah,keep sharing us about popularity of akshay kumar movies in myanmar?, even in India his movies r most watched on television nd by piracy. His movies R most popular.
@fasal
Let me tell you,Airlift didn’t have songs,new Heroine,no masala,clashes in every week,no director,critical film,but it managed to do 130cr.shame on srk,with yrf it wil be only 90cr.akki is biggest star in bollywood
I have watched Fan ! Srk acting was Awesome ! But not the movie
Non Holiday Without EDX
Ranbeer- YJHD 190 cr (But Deepika)
Hrithik- Bang Bang 181 cr
Kangna- TWMR 152 cr

@indicine,
Ur the biggest lier.as per your prediction on kspoor and sons was 47 cr in Feb.but you raised to 72cr now.not only that u did with so many films .if you want proof than I will send i screen shot,I was taken in Feb.
@Sanket, before you send a screenshot, please try and understand how LBO works. The first prediction for FAN was 145 crore too. The final prediction is made on Sunday after release.
Bhai fans badly trolling Srk fans ! Koi muje popcorn do :p
First of all not agree with perdition fan will definitely cross 100 core mark and I am damn sure overseas collection far more better then local box office collection .. in the end it suggest that still local people dont mature enough to watch purely acted movie rather them crap massala movies like PRDP hope fan will cross 100 coror mark feeling very sad for SRK after watch such a magical SRK performance one of lifetime
Despite Sultan having solo eid release, indicine is predicting more collections for Dangal. Power of Biggest Megastar Aamir Khan.
hey indicine… ur fan articals seems like srk fan comments… full of excuses… its ok once..bt always same things.. nt so cool yr.
dhoom 3 did 36 cr non holyday bt u talk more about it being frinchise thn talkimg about dhoom +amirs combo.
i knw ur unbiased n honest bt ur srk love is jst too mch smtimes.
Salman Aamir Ajay/Akshay Hrithik Srk Rbr
@fasal kelawala, Blue and TMK are Bumper opening….! Bumper opening because of Only Akki….! Get right fact…!
