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
its only because of piracy
box office collection if affected then its only because of piracy
What a laugh. Now these SRK joker fans are trying to pull every plausible excuse out of the hat, from blaming lack of songs to tearing down the audiences because they not going out to watch film.
Then the morons are trying to draw a comparisons between a film of two yrs old whose ticket prices were way below current prices to Fan trying to justify some stupid logic of theirs. Where did you learn maths by the river? Today if you dummies would use the message of Jai Ho then you would be better people.
The final analysis is that once more the public has rejected SRK but sadly he can still buy critics and award organizations but at the end of the day he’s still a loser.

FAN
The fact is FAN is a totally crap movie I don’t know why media are putting it in a Niche Category (I think Srk paid them to do so as he do always even in Award shows). Only Srk fans like this crap movie and his overacting. I want to say to all Srk fans keep saying that Srk did a brilliant acting in FAN does not make it right, your Srk is not more than an OVERACTOR who does not know how to Act and the proof is in front of you FAN collection. Public is fed up with his same overacting, so 1st let him learn some acting….
Global Star BIG LOL…..
@ Myanmar…
When non actor Salman doing movie like Fan
without any songs & Heroine it will not
collect more than 10 cr opening & 100 cr life time in festive
periods…Forget Non holiday…He is only
suited in south remakes because of his non
acting talent…
The drop on Monday will be the deciding factor. I just hope that it sustains well on Monday and doesnt show a significant drop. If it sustains well hopefully then it has plenty of time to perform and still become a hit.
There is only one good release Baghi after 2 weeks and then another 2 weeks free to run. Fingers crossed.
FAN has not connected with general public (I am not talking about Die hard SRK fans) as you can see from the ratings in BMS. Its only 73% for FAN where as it was 85% for Airlift and 82% for Neerja. All these were content rich niche genres….
Now srk fans new excuse.. Boxoffice collections dosent matters … Realy..?. Boxoffice collection depends on the response of the viewers. What is the value of the movie which is not able to etertain or make satisfaction of the viewers. Some morron srk fans bashing Indian audiance for they arent responsing content rich movie.. Realy..?. Airlift was also the limited appeal movie with the highly appriciable content. The result is Airlift is still the highest grosser movie of 2016. Audiances needs something new to watch in theatres. They arent morrons to spend their valuable money for so called acting performances withe repeatitive geners.
Fan was nice movie…collection doesnt matter to us as an audience only thing that matter is the movie was good or bad..The was good so be the collection of the movie 60cr.It wont make any difference..
Watched the movie yesterday after being dragged by my family to the theatre.
And it fulfilled all my expectations from a srk movie!
The movie was pathetic to say the least and srk’s acting was a masterclass to any budding actor on how to overact!!
According to me this movie draws it’s inspiration from darr. here juhi chawla is star srk and fan srk is dying to spend 5 minutes with him (God only knows to do what!). It doesn’t even help that fan srk’s makeup is tacky and his mannerisms girly. So his advances towards star srk after a point seems gayish.
And calling srk’s acting or the movie as getting critical acclaim is the biggest joke. Audience was laughing when fan srk was doing some emotional scenes. If this was a so-called content-rich movie then I shiver at the thought of how a content-poor srk movie would be.
So as it stands if fan doesn’t recover on monday then reaching 100 cr will be an uphill task.
But one thing is certain…fan was my last srk movie in a theatre (out of a handful that i have watched there)…it’s better he releases raees directly on tv to save his face.

@Myanmar

#Fasal kerala
Look at Srk fans each and everyone keep saying in their comments that Srk did brilliant acting in movie, guys use your commonsense if Srk did even a good acting then don’t you think that public will come to theater to see his so called Brilliant Acting. Bhai leave neutral audience even his so called 3.6 Billions fans are not interested to see his overacting again (oops sorry Brilliant Acting)
Too Much Fun…
@ Indicine : When will u give your final LBO prediction?
Soon Shivaay will thrash Raees on Diwali…ajay devgan has given many hits on diwali…
@truth every indian people aren’t bhat from delhi electection to 2019 prove it again n again. If srk lots bhak movie goer then gain congrees APP supporter too. Thats negetive FB twitter comments hardly matter otherwise one Goverment rule in India. Fan isn’t even collect 1/4 of Dilwale collection in mass centre despite solo release and no protesh if Dilwale release there then it did 60cr in 2days almost twice compare to fan because Dilwale open better than prdp
I don’t understand, this film was better than that fake info giving shitty Airlift. Then how come Fan losing it’s losing its hold?
Swdesh also floped at BO too
Reading this article, the comments of the haters and fans of SRK, it seems as if everyone’s expectations were completely out of whack. Why expect for a non-commercial, off beat movie, that is dark and has no song to do 200..?? that’s insane!! How many movies have done 200 to begin with..? they were all commercial pot boilers with song and dance. Keep the expectations realistic next time around. FAN is an excellent film….Gaurav;s character is one of the best written characters and SRK’s performance is tremendous. His performance as Aryan Khanna is even better in my opinion…the nuances of narcissism and self arrogance that he used to portray his super star character is amazing. Watch it for that. This movie will still collect enough $$$ to make it profitable and a Hit. Had the Indian audience been intelligent enough to appreciate a dark thriller that at times was gut wrenching emotional with a hard impact ending, this movie would’ve done more. Alas, they want brainless entertainers like CE, Dhoom 3, PRDP and HNY.
i feel pity for those who were chanting about OSCARS for this 2 rs dabba FAN…. mar jaao saalo
less than 120cr as I already said
Fan movie monday real test in box office. Fan movie monday test pass so this movie longterm movie.
Airlift will remain highest grossing movie till housefull 3 by the looks of it.
Guys quality movie dekhni hai to fan dekho
Aur agar wahi gissi pitti movie dekhni hai to eid ka wait karo sultan aa rahi hai
Hahahahhah……srk rocks
Airlift had the best opening of the year after fan but fan had wider release and higher marketing and 80% opening holiday
Asli maza toh tab ayega, jab FAN ne Talaash ki tod nahi payega! Too much Fun!

Once again it seems the so called supersmart critics r in a fix..! The problem is mostly the critics reviews are based on reputations and not on merits of a movie and star in a particular film..! Srk here does something different frm what he has been doin lately n all go gaga over his acting and movie while actually the movie is stupid after a point and acting also is not on the levels of chak de n swades but on the lines of ram jaane at times n a shade better than the over acting he has been doin lately.. nothing extra ordinary which he is capable of.. but for critics srk or ranbiir is alwyz in good books!!
Its time the critics dnt try to be oversmart n review the movie and actor based on that very film or else even ppl like krk wld start seeming more sensible!
