Shah Rukh Khan’s FAN has opened better on Sunday as compared to the morning shows on Saturday, but the average occupancy at centres that we tracked (multiplexes) was still about 5% lower than Friday. The point to be noted here is, SRK films generally take a big opening on Friday morning and FAN was no different.
However, the big rise in occupancy is still missing, which continues to be a worrying sign because it’s the late morning, noon and shows until about 8PM that perform the strongest at multiplexes on Sunday. As of 1:30PM on Sunday, business remains above average to good, but not excellent – which is what is expected out of a big critically-acclaimed film like FAN on Sunday.
Single-screen business has picked up too, but the occupancy continues to remain on the lower side due to lack of appeal. FAN probably had the widest release for a songless film in the history of the film industry, but even though the opening was decent due to Shah Rukh’s presence, business has come crashing down on Saturday and Sunday is running at lower levels than Friday.
The makers would have done well to include the ‘Jabra’ song in the first half of the film, both to quickly establish the character of Gaurav and also to increase the appeal of the film at smaller centres. There are reports that even the multiplex audience were disappointed that the ‘Jabra’ song wasn’t a part of the film.
Looking at the trends, FAN is now looking at weekend business of somewhere around 52 crore mark. Monday will be the biggest test, a good hold will be important if the film has to go on to be a decent grosser.
FAN Box Office Collections in the first 2 days
- Friday (Day 1) – 19.2 crore
- Saturday (Day 2) – 15.4 crore
- Total - 34.6 crore
@javeda:
What!!! You will happy if it collects even 50cr in weekend!!! Aren’t you the same guy who was continuously predicting 30cr+ opening day, 100cr weekend and 250cr lifetime???
Big critically acclaimed …..!!!!
ROFL..!!!
Off course JABRA FAN is a big hit song.
Should have included in the movie.
FAN will find it tough to cross – 120 crs,looking at current scenario.
That means Houseful 2 remains highest grosser of April.
Between fan won’t cross 100cr.
Strange i expected better collections. …
But Im very happy that srk delivered one of the finest performances of his carrer
@fasal:
Where was this commercial/offbeat logic during predicting 25cr opening day and 250cr lifetime???
BTW, wasn’t it a content rich movie supposed to shattered every non holiday box office record???
@Indicine…… most hurted people would be none other than yourself…..After publishing 40 plus articles daily on your favorite star SRK about FAN……..after all seeing the collection……
Advertisement is good……but in a limit not in excess…….
Dear Srk Pls do movies like Fan, we don’t care box office that’s why we r your fan
if jungle book coming on 15 th april then global queen ki toh waat lag gayi hoti…

@ajith are you out of your mind?..
fan is a trash. its not a critically acclaimed movie. it is not a quality movie. its better than dilwale and happy new year , but it is no where near to movies like 3 idiots, pk, bajarangi bhai jaan, bajirao mastani,neerja, airlift. dont blame indian audience.
” janta sub jaanti hai ”
its an ugly truth accept it. i saw the movie and it is pointless, hypothetical and it clearly show that srk is so obsessed with himself , and a self acclaimed superstar.
just Learn from other stars, how to carry the stardom.
“jaanta ka ek aur chatta srk ko”
Here comes the pain- excuses excuses excuses
I always knew it would flop but this is beyong surreal
@indicine team, we want daywise compares Jai Ho vs Fan. Yesterday you make article first day collection compares but today??? Why??
60cr lifetime prediction was tongue in cheek but seriously it could take 5 or 6 days to reach Joker Boys club
FAN looks go like peheli way and srk failed to break rajesh khanna i always will be the fan of srk n rk because they dare to take risk yes anyone can do mistake by selecting poor script but SRK acting is Fan outstanding, CE broke each n every single record but now ce is recordless and not remembered but FAN remain clasic
Now all eyes are on
Housefull 3..!!!!
@Tiger the real Chuhe…
when I was predicting 25 cr opening & 250 life time
Any proof???
#Fasal kerala
Still I can’t stop my laugh, srk fan chanting last 4 months ago Fan sure collect over 200cr which non-highest grosser. Big slap who(srkian) those say akki has less stardom.
Now another cult classic content rich Raees is on the way..Hope,it crosses 80cr with clash and 120cr solo..I think Sunny’s item number will help Raees to be an average grosser
Hypocrisy at it’s best…
Before fan release srk fans
30cr opening , 40cr opening , 50cr opening
But now after it’s release
Niche , offbeat bla bla bla…!!!
Let the truth come out. The intolerance commment has really hurt srk very bad and the neutral junta does not want to see His films. Just go and see the Facebook pages of toi or zee news and the comment section of their fan movie review. Out of 10, 8 people are saying they will never watch srk movie bcoz of his intolerance comment. Now the big question is will dangal be able to collect even 150cr. As the protest will be huge in the case of that movie far greater than srk movies
Oh no! I expected FAN to do 21 Crores on Sunday because it is a holiday and 57 crores weekends. However, I am proven wrong by the narcissist meow bhai again! Now, it will be a flop! Power of Meoww King!!
@indicine team,if Baby wide release then collection??? And one more you should remember Baby clash with Dolly ki Doli.
I think fan can’t cross of baby lifetime collection.
Non holiday par sabki aukaat pata chal jaati hai ….!!!!
Hence it is proven by fan…!!!
Evening big match Rcb…I feel it will not improve in night shows
Fill in the blanks
A big slap on …………………. face.
FAN is not an art film, is it? It is an out and out commercial film targeted at multiplexes audiences and also SS audiences as well. Don’t give shitty excuses for the utter failure..
It will badly crash on Monday!! Sign that the era of self-proclaimed and media made king is over!!
