Shah Rukh Khan’s FAN has dropped by around 20% on Saturday, as the film showed a major decline in business at mass centres. The Maneesh Sharma directed film was steady at cities, but the growth that was expected out of the film on Saturday was missing.
Most multiplex films that carry good word-of-mouth tend to grow by 20-25% on Saturday, but the growth for FAN was around the 5-10% range.
The film now needs to show big growth on Sunday, but that will be difficult because the centres where FAN is expected to perform (urban cities), will be affected both by the phenomenal run of ‘The Jungle Book’ and IPL matches in the evening / night.
The first day business of FAN could well be its best day at the ticket window, which in itself is a worrying sign as far as the long-tern box office prospects of the film is concerned.
FAN Official Box Office Collections
- Friday – 19.2 crore
- Saturday – 15.4 crore (19.8% drop)
- Total collections in 2 days - 34.6 crore.
yeh flop hogaya …….flop hogaya :D :D
With same kind of reviews and WOM movies like airlift, neerja etc showed huge jump on 2nd day. But fan has showed 20% drop on day 2.
Isn’t it a big shame for global Megastar???
But it’s over turn to compare with jai ho
Jai ho 2nd day was 16.45 cr which higher than our local king… Baap baap hi hota hai disaster kerala
@indicine you were absolutely right. The makers could have showed about gaurav’s life more before he went to Delhi.
In order to represent gaurav as a die hard fan the director tried to manipulate the audience by the train sequence which showed that gaurav can even give his life by jumping out of train.This resulted poor detailing and second half was completely logic defying.
My rating3/5
Watched Fan.. Liked SRK’s performance.. Nice fast-pased action ..
Absolutely wonderful acting by Gaurav chandana..
3.5/5 stars..
Now waiting for #Azhar ..
Feeling sad…. its going MNIK or SWADESH way.
But happy that… SRK have taken risk doing this film… and gave extraordinary performance.
Sunday too didn’t saw growth as compare friday (as per addatoday.com)… That means… FAN depend highly on cities.. thats really worry sign for the film.
Lets see what happen on Monday.
Both airlift and fan are content rich movies, both of them got excellent reviews from critics. Fan’s Saturday collections are similar to Airlift. Hence, it’s proven now both Akki and srk are in the same league!!
ow I am sure that it will not collect more than two year old film Jai Ho with half of the ticket price of FAN… FAN flop…..
If this movie would have release in Hollywood damn sure it was a superb blockbuster. Still our Indian standards are home basic level emotion thinkings level.
Now our audience will dance next SRK..
Mahbooba Mahbooba…
Waiting for excuses like….
IPL matches
Jungle book affects
Niche genre
No big heroine
And blah blah blah!!!
the reason behind the dismal performance of FAN despite that Excellent Critics Reviews and Good WOM is that there is too much SRK in the film. The film is all about the narcissist hero and his self-obsessed FAN.
It is not having good WOM for a general topic unlike Airlift or Neerja but for SRK only.
Hence, there is nothing to offer to general movie goers. There is no entertainment for them either. That’s the reason.
So, general movie goers are staying away from the movie..
FAN looks like it’s heading to Monday crash,it’s funny how some dillusional fans had predicted 250cr for this film.
What would have happened if the amaizing Jungle Book had clashed with FAN?
I don’t think so now movie will cross. Jai ho collection… Again Srk prove that why he is not domestic king… He fail in everywere…
Salman is now undisputed king of Bollywood… Mind it
Only 15cr!! Despite getting excellent reviews and having positive WOM!!!
Kya isi ko global MEGASTARDOM kehte hain???
LOL.
@Tiger, please don’t repeat your comments in the same article or other articles. This comment has been posted thrice on this page.
Srk is nothing but the paid media made star, media even praise his overacting and we all know how he gets those Filmfake Awards….
So Today should be around 21 Crores and tomorrow it will see a big crash!! Strictly Average or Flop!
Duniya Ka Sabse Bada Superstar… Lol
@Rivalz…
Totally true. I wanted to see him in that act that’s all enough for SRKians…
@amol 2:30pm:
ROFL!!!!
Sunday will be just 18 cr
Weekend – 54 cr only look like less than jai ho forget jai ho it less than raone….lol
Disappointing collections considering its a good film,its about time bollywood stop thrillers how many good thriller have underperformed here are some well made thrillers that have underperformed
Sp26,phantom don2,talaash,Dday and Baby it seems BTOWN audience don’t like like Thrillers.
@indicine:
They have been giving same excuses again and again. Hence I have posted that ‘excusewala’ comment agai.
Anyway, next time onwards won’t repeat this again.
Let’s see how far multiplex business takes the film? Sunday collections will give the idea about the trend and Monday will give the clear idea where it is heading…let’s hope for the best..
Writing is on the wall for FAN…From the Saturday drop it is more or less clear than Monday crash is going to be huge…
My point is now it’s better to avoid raees with Salman sultan… Bcoz I feel that with clash raees will not even cross 100 cr…
My opinion is raees should release in November now bcoz atleast they Will get more time for strategy to create buzz
@ Aashish Thapar at 2:25 pm : Yes disappointment for SRK fans.
But I still believe he belongs in the top 3 box office wise and honestly behind Amir and Salman and the gap seems to be increasing. If we see a big drop (God forbidden) on Monday then it may end up as average.
If Fan underperforms then Raees will have to perform big for him to remain clearly ahead of Hrithik who I consider at 4th. But Raees is also having issues with getting a good release date. Thats my honest view.
Anyways all this goes on but we support and love u SRK equally whatever happens.
@indicine, please do not approve comments which contain spoilers, like the one that revealed a major spoiler(Gaurav’s dialogue) in the climax.
Party time,
Aaj koi jai ho se compare nahi kar raha hai
i dont understand srkians when we comment that CE collection is just because of DEEPIKA AND ROHIT SHEETY then they replied srk is superstar no need actresses for good collection and after FAN every srkian says collection is bad because there is no heroine in movie. why dont accept srk is looser
Oh no my Kings pankha has stopped working- its a disaster
