FAN hasn’t performed upto expectations on Day 2 at the box office. As per early estimates, the Shah Rukh Khan starrer has collected around Rs 16.5 – 17 crore on Saturday.
The film is not holding up at smaller centres, with some of these centres registering falls in the range of 25 – 35% on Saturday. Multiplexes business was comparatively much better, but the big jump that ‘word-of-mouth’ films show on Saturday was clearly missing.
It was a partial holiday for FAN on Friday (Day 1), which gave the collections a boost of around 20% on the opening day. On Saturday, FAN was expected to hold on to Friday levels and any growth would have been a clear indication that the film had managed to find appreciation with its target audience.
The problem for FAN is, the business of the film is dependent on major cities and at these centres the word-of-mouth is mixed – when it should have been extraordinary, like with films like Airlift, Neerja and Kapoor & Sons. The critics have given the film a big thumbs up, but on the ground level, exhibitors have a completely different story to tell.
It remains to be seen where FAN goes from here. The film needs a big jump of 30-40% on Sunday to take the weekend business above and beyond the 55 crore mark and closer to the 60 crore mark – which would make it a fair first weekend at the domestic box office.
FAN Box Office Collections
- Friday: 19.2 crore
- Saturday: 17 crore (Early estimate)
- Total collections: 36.2 crore
Excuses for FAN collection disappointment
1. No whole holiday
2. No deepika
3. Mowgli srk se bara star
4. niche genre
5. Log north garmise mare hain
6. BJP
7. Hate campaign on twitter
8. Sale ye sab krk ki galti #national chutiyakrk
9. Salman Raees ko Eid pe sole release nahin karne dera.
10. Suicide.
@Indicine
Where is Fan’s overseas collections
IPL season affecting 1-2cr per day but slowly steadyly FAN make up everything
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! all hail the king !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SRK’s ‘niche’ film beats masala regional blockbuster remake JAI HO by a mile at BO.
No wonder LALLU cannot come close to SRKs full masala HNY opening 45 Cr Day 1.
SUN should be around 21 cr. Not bad for a ‘niche’ film with no female appeal . IPL, Junglebook competition.
Now RAEES (full masala with item song) must release this EID. Easily 35+Cr Day 1 despite competition.
haddh hai Yaar Indicine .. kisi bhi article pe mera comment allow ni kar re tumm. Main toh gali tak nai de raha :/
Fan will fall flat from Monday onwards.
If FAN isn’t release on partial holiday then it show 15% jump due to positive wom but yes Fan in mass circits #BOI said FAN is not more a 130cr film if it does 150cr then huge achivement Sun jump monday hold clear that
Amol, good comment. But then how would u explain the failure of a classic movie like Andaz Apna Apna which failed when it released. If people then didnt watch it then y do ppl praise it so much today. Are todays audience more smRter? There r other examples too when good quality movies have flopped.
@Fasal, dont worry, dangal will easily shatter this tiny overhyped overactor bakri’s all opening records. Aamir is founder of 100 cr,200,c,250 cr and 300 cr clubs in india. Are you nuts? Better shut your mouth and get some rest you brainless creature. Aamir has billions of fans across the globe. His movies shatter records without slam tour, deepika, wankhade controversies,etc. Get this in your head.
Tere Naam also did averge business at BO where ready is blockbuste if ready>tere naam then hny>fan
That proves critics are bought by SRK
Also I had mentioned months back how media supports SRK and makes him a bigger star than he is
Can people tell me inspite of all the positive reviews support from Bollywood the entire media going ga ga, why are SRK movies underperforming ?
Are there no more many die hard fans or it was always hyped ? Can one SRK supporter now confidently claim FAN can even surpass Airlift ? What if it ends up below Jungle books collection ?
Don’t give IMDb bullshit and he tried because although it seemed to be rated highly on day 1 with 9.4 today even that slipped to 8.5
Now I feel IMDb of fan will end up below 8 ? Was this supposed to be content driven film ?
I amjust laughing then if eve ratings drop below 8 as boxoffice is sure shot not going to be on fire
Honestly this is the season (Non-Holidays) for all actors to show their ability. SRK proved himself to bollywood mathematicians. How he stand out in a movie where there is no one except him. It’s pure his income for this nothing else.
No songs, No more than one trailer, No movie posters other than him.
We wanted to see him full of his performance. That’s we all received from SRK. Thank you.
Hey Indicine.com
Can you add search your website option to search any article any comment just anything in your website.
Guyz this shows only salman is crowd puller by his sheer presence irrespective of content…I watch all Bollywood movies but srk is not doing quality films because his aim is to beat records
Thanks Indicine for the 2nd day update of FAN.
FAN will be a another FLOP after Dilwale at the BO.
@Aamir The Megastar, why? Of course the reason is obvious. Indicine is a bloody jealous site of India’s biggest Global Megastar and baap of tiny stars and his kids sharukh and salman i.e. aamir khan. They just cant digest his unmatchable Megastardom , popularity and fan following which is much higher than these useless and talentless media hyped none actors srk and sallu. Thats the reason. Dont worry aamir will keep kicking theor ass forever. No one was bigger than him, no one is bigger than him and no onr will ever be as big as him.
For FAN this is very good collection.
FAN will sure Blockbuster.
Watched FAN yesterday @ AMC Southfield, Michigan. 1st half is for all but 2nd half needs brain to get it right(now I understand why few are saying negative about 2nd half). A complete masterpiece. Watched it again today @ 3:05 show @ AMC Dearborn.
Unbelievably outperformed by SRK.
Love you SRK!
“Exhibitors have different story to tell” – This line says it all and it has been the story with srk with his every movie since RNBDJ (the only exception being CE which brought in profits to all those concerned ) , every srk movie from the last 8 years with the exception of CE has been underperforming at the domestic BO for the exhibitors & the distributors concerned , so in such a scenario would any wise exhibitor would ever agree to screen ‘Rice’ in theatres if it clashes with sultan this eid????
Srk fans try to ignore the reality as much you want to but the reality which you cannot deny is that:
“srk’s stardom & influence has been continuously decreasing since years , he himself knows that he can’t compete with salman & aamir at the domestic BO now and even if he wants to the exhibitors & distributors are simply not willing bcos srk has turned into a ‘white elephant’ for them”
Its a sorry state of affairs for srk who at one point of time was the industry’s most bankable superstar but right now even Ranveer Singh & the mogli kid can publicly claim that they aren’t afraid of clashing with him anymore and in the next few years we could except a sunny Leone’s movie out grossing srk’s movie at the domestic BO , srk fans u might get buthurt but this is the undeniable imminent reality which no srk fan should ignore .
Thing is film is just not good enough. Critics have really pver hyped this film. Film is weak. People have ‘t liked it and it seems like all marketing money has been used to get reviewers on their side. but reviewers cant fool the audience and its audience wom which is the main factor these days.
no one would have thought but this film can actually be first flop of srk after billu and first film to not gross 100cr since my name is khan.
Never count your chickens before they hatch. You see only one person knows outcome before it happens so the next time be more realistic about an SRK film. He is trying his best to avoid doing manipulation as he did in the past and movie goers ate fed up of his deception. Even now he says if he does not win an award for Fan he will do his best to snatch one. He is not even concerned about whether his fans like the film he is only concerned about himself.
Like I said separate the sheep ? from the goats.
Let’s see now if he was lying when he spread rumors about postponing Raees or is he up to his deceitful ways.
Anyway Fan is a flop because 19 crore first day is a big disappointment to him. ????
@Indicine – Can you finally see the negativity that is written in every line of your article against FAN..? You start the article with “FAN hasn’t performed upto expectations on Day 2 at the box office” like as if there was a universal expectation on how Fan was going to perform on day 2. You say Airlift and Neerja showed excellent growth on these days, although true, sets a negative tone against Fan. Fan’s day two is higher then Airlifts opening day. In fact, it’s probably going to be higher then Airlifts day 3. So whilst you’re reporting is factually correct, Fan has shown some drop in business as compared to day one (could be due to the fact that Friday was partial holiday in some parts of India), you still have a choice to write your articles with positivity. A simple article such as “Fan shows a strong 2nd day at the box office, early estimates suggest a 17crore day” is sufficient. But you continue to frame your articles with negativity and this is evident in every line that you write against Fan. Not sure why this is the case….but such negativity is unwarranted. Fan is a once in a lifetime movie….and does not deserve negativity of this calibre.
@Dhanashree , u may have liked the movie dear but the neutral audience in general are not liking it .
I haven’t watched the movie & I never would ( I had decided to never ever watch any srk movie in theatre since Ra.1 and in the future too I would never ever watch any srk movie no matter how good the movie might be , I simply cannot tolerate his torturous over acting & his irritating screen presence , its a real mental torture ) but few of my friends who are srk fans have watched the movie and trust me they didn’t like it either , they may say to the outside world that fan is a masterpiece or that srk’s acting is mind blowing but if u ask them honestly to tell from their hearts they are saying some things which I can’t say it here on a public forum :D :D
Hahahaha Lol, fan a landmark movie in Indian cinema history ???? Can u please elaborate why do u feel so .
Take care dear :)

@Fan- Collection matters very much nowadays.. more collection- one gets fame. Less collectionS- career go to descent.
No matter how much a person is affluent. Lakhs of people are rich in india.
Horrible.. Considering such a fantastic reviews by critics.
Good thinking by srk to pospone raees..
Still sultan has much higher buzz than any other film releasing this year.. And to dare a clash with it..? is just stupidity nothing else.
If I was Akshay and Ajay fans
With rumours spreading fast on socio media that Raees may clash with Rustam or Shivaay I shall be wanting it more than ever before knowing this old man stardom has gone. Sallu fans already have the last laugh with Raees backing off. Let’s see how crazy Raees PR team will be seeking for independence or diwali release. If not let him just clash with Varun or Shahid since the shooting is over. By the way where are Self proclaimed king Fans? Am showing no mercy for Haklu fans because they keep on bashing our Khiladi.
@khiladi.. U r right.
Akshay is great actor and superstar in his own way.
Respect..
Akshay is going to replace teesra khan come end of 2016. That’s a guarantee!!!!! I don’t see Hrithik a threat. Apart from Ranbir and Ajay who have 2 completely barred non holiday 100 cr grossers only Akki has 4 100 crs on non Edx release with least screens. Haklu fans are yet to see Jabra flop cross Mnik lifetime on non holiday. Jabar khan era has been dismissed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Salman
Aamir
Akshay
Hrithik
Ajay
Shah Rukh
Ranveer
Mark my words by end of the year.
In India cinegoers don’t care about quality.
