Sultan has been outstanding so far, exceeding or matching trade expectations on each of its 3 days at the box office. But the big test for the film will come on Monday. If it sustains well during the weekdays and shows growth in its 2nd weekend, it could give the industry its 3rd 300 crore grosser – after PK and Bajrangi Bhaijaan. Salman would also become the first actor to deliver two 300 crore grossers.
But for that to happen , the film has to show a better trend than Dhoom 3 and closely perform at Bajrangi Bhaijaan level. Since we think the word-of-mouth is somewhere between the two films (Dhoom 3 was mixed, Bajrangi Bhaijaan was extraordinary), we expect Sultan to finish with lifetime collections of ? 305 crore.
We expect the film to collect ? 170 crore by the end of its extended 5-day weekend and add around ? 50 crore between Monday – Thursday to take its 9-day extended first week total to ? 220 crore. After that it should manage to add around ? 70 – 90 crore after the release of Great Grand Masti (15 July) and before Dishoom (29 July).
Our final IndicineLBO prediction for Sultan is ? 305 crore. Some of our most accurate predictions have been Dilwale (prediction 145 cr, final total 148 cr), Bajirao Mastani (168 cr – 188 cr), Housefull 3 (105 cr - 109 cr), Ki and Ka (54 cr - 53 cr) just to name a few. Even though box office is extremely unpredictable, we hope to get this one right too.

Yeah there is a chance of crossing 250cr but 300cr looking still impossible.
I was afraiding of this thing and same thing happen.today SRKIANS will never forgive KING SRK and HE is the reason why a crap with back to back 2 EID advantages is set to cross 250cr.only DID was the one WHO could have afford RAEES what IT has expected.
Last but not least KING SRK ‘S choice of no masala content no big holidays now surely going to impact HIS CAREER until NEXT CHRISTMAS.
SOLO EID/CHRISTMAS+balanced masala story +no competition lead to big success which is now completely common now a days nothing astonishing.but sad to see THE ONE WHO could have easily do this is not in the right path and doing something else besides what HIS OWN FANBASE wants.IT’S KING KHAN WHO is responsible for his these days.so even today too earning 300cr in a solo big release date,is that’s why not at all astonishing.
ALL THE BEST FOR NEXT RELEASES OF KING SRK.
@sachha SRK fan,complefely felt ashamed of you.then why you out ‘sachha’ in your name?????so much frustration loser!!!!!did you know how much salman struggled is way more than this what KING KHAN is struggling.b it now a days it’s not so easy to get complete big solo release of you’re not performing well which salamn got freely during his weakest days.I knew you some other’s fan trying to degrade.A SACHCHA SRKIAN can never frustrate like this.
To RISE,KING SRK will require only one good universally appealing movie,then everything will change.
unlike you even if salman will give back to back atbb till the end and KING SRK will give disasters back to back till the end now onwards,then also I’LL remain AN SRKIAN,till date.because MY HEART,MY SOUL already taken captivated BY MY KING KHAN.andbtaht’s what called SACHCHA SRKIAN.and I’m laughing towards this of your behaviour you’re a coward who only used a star for HIS SUCCESS.grow up chameleon loser.W E don’t ever need a panauti FAN like you ever in OUR FANBASE,you can freely register your name in world’s biggest brainless classless fanbase,because that’s where you deserve to say,rofl.
@TIGER-the real king
i dont mean to have abused u using unecessary words. In my prev cmt the clashes i had mentioned were the clashes of week, i.e. Released in a span of a week, not same day
e.g. Fan vs TJB , Chahat vs Khiladi series movie(where srk had lost) etc
i wont abuse u anymore
300cr is hard to get..
as the ticket price will fall from 500rupees to down..
one of the highest rate ticket..Which is what the collection is high.
Word of mouth is not up to BB or PK…
Yes it may cross Dhoom3 as it got extended weakend days
I know some really serious discussions going on regarding LBOs of Sultan, MD etc. and it is not relevant here but still cannot resist and a quick word of praise for Mr. Sanjeev Kumar as I am so much in awe of this super duper awesome actor. One of the best and most versatile actors the industry has ever produced. Today is his birth anniversary.
His “Thakur” role of Sholay is legendary obviously. It had to be an actor of his stature to stand tall amongst an amazing crowd of characters like Gabbar, Jai and Veeru.
If he was amazing in intense roles like Sholay, Aandhi, Mausam, Trishul etc then he was equally amazing in comic roles such as Angoor, Manoranjan and Biwi o Biwi. Have watched a number of his movies and found him to be truly brilliant in all. Still to watch a few famous of his like Koshish, Khilona, Shatranj ke Khiladi etc.
Angoor is my all time favorite movie of his. Easily one of the top 5 Indian comedy movies I have ever seen. Have watched this movie over 7-8 times easily and each time it is equal fun.
Definitely an actor who deserves to be remembered.
rustom will cross over 100 crore nd beat mohenjo daro bcz it doesnt hve fake vfx nd flying crocodiles so indicine change ua rustom prediction
Worldwide total for 3 days is 206 cr. Highest ever for the weekend!!!!!!!
First film to cross 200 cr. in 3 days. With saturday and sunday it will go above 320 cr. in the extended weekend. This is just crazy!!!!!!!!
One reliable website is saying today 35+ guaranteed and can touch 40 cr. also if performs in mass dominated areas. Still I feel that it’s first two days collections were shown lower than actual figures because of some reason.
I don’t wanna troll SRK fans but I wanna show them two things…..
HNY 3rd day Sunday collection – 30 crs
Sultan 3rd day Friday (non holiday) – 31 crs… now then it’s a proof that who is bigger star…. I used this logic bcz every srk fans r using 1st day collection with Sultan’s 1st n 2nd day…
HNY’s 1st day >>> Sultan’s 1st day
HNY’s 2nd day <<< Sultan's 2nd day
HNY's 3rd day <<< Sultan's 3rd day. clearly winner is Salman Khan…
then how srk is king of opener ? r srk fans born to use only HNY's opening day ? is that film ran only one day ? were there not 2nd day of HNY ? if there was why they don't compare 2nd day of HNY with Sultan ?…
one n only proud moment for SRK fans r opening day n weekend (2nd day n 3rd day are lower than Sultan’s non holiday 3rd day friday)… SRK fans talk about only 1st day when it comes to 2nd n 3rd day they forget about everything.
It’s silly to blame indicine for everything….. they are saying what they expect or trade say….. the only thing they do wrong is they support SRK in every matter.
@indicine
Are u guys making an article on trade and public response of Rustom?
Udta punjab collect 60 cr not 58 cr.
Watched #Sultan for the second time today!!
Wanna watch it again. It was an awesome feeling again
Dear all Salmaniacs and movie lovers,
Keep aside talking about BO office collections, first watch the film as many times as you can. Collections Khud Bahut Bad Jayega!
It is a must watch film.
It will be awesome if it crosses 300 Crores again.
I expect 280-290 crores now. Let’s see
But a certain Feral Kerala has to leave Indicine because he challenged Sultan would finish around 201 Crores
Sultan will finish 220 cr range. Indicine hyped the movie pre-release, and when it failed to live up to expectations, they started making excuses on its behalf.
How Sultan could have made 40 cr, if this or that occurred.
Adhm more than Shivaay is @indicine best favourite and all time most accurate prediction. Genius!! I really enjoyed Adhm 1st poster 2nd poster..Still shots ,beautiful music’s,Viewers choice of best poster,huge buzz among indicine users and india… of Adhm ever since you guys published them here ..right here. Though have not seen anything about Shivaay yet ..no poster,no online vote ,nothing yet about shivaay so I must agree with Adhm huge buzz and massive collection predictions.
Differences between Rustom and MD is d most realistic prediction any genuine .non sentimental and EXTREMELY non-anti Ajay site will ever give.
Hats off…Ajays case is no hide and seek but even for Hrithik @Indicine Love affair keeps on increasing despite trailer 5,interest 7 same with rustom.
How much Kjo gave you for d moj?
My prediction
Sat – 34 cr.
Sun – 37 cr.
weekend – 176.5 cr
mon-thu – 68 cr.
week 1 – 244 cr.
2nd week – 70 cr.
3rd week – 40 cr.
Rest of the weeks – 25 cr.
Total – 360-370 cr. I guess
I think 250-275 cr maximum for Sultan.
But movie is really a heart touching.
after hddcs,tere naam,and bajrangi bhaijaan sultan is very good emotional story…
In general, LBO collection = two week total x word of mouth multiplying factor
word of mouth multiplying factor(mathematics)
5.5/4.5 = 1.22 for exceptional, like PK
5/4 = 1.2 for excellent, like BB
10/9 = 1.11 for good, like dhoom3
7/6 = 1.167 for very good, like Sultan
For PK
Word of mouth exceptional = 5.5/4.5 = 1.22, LBO = 278.8 x 1.22 = 340 crore
For BB
Word of mouth excellent = 6/5 = 1.2, LBO = 271 x 1.2 = 324 crore
For Dhoom3
Word of mouth good = 10/9 = 1.11, LBO = 257.2 x 1.11 = 286 crore
Now,
For Sultan (Prediction)
Word of mouth very good = 7/6 = 1.167, LBO = 260 x 1.167 = 303 crore
Let’s see…!
40 cr expected on day 4 . Wooooooow. Have never seen stardom like this before. Sat movie opened to 69-65% , afternoons 85% and nights are going 95%. Trade is saying it will be biggest day out of 4 days and could touch 40 cr. Just wooow
Dangal and Sultan both are the only films that have chance to cross 300 cr . PK toh gaya bas
Dangal – 360 cr
Sultan- 345 cr
Mark my words
Laughing on papa boy and low star devgan fans cmnts.
Papa’s boy MD is way behind on YouTube in views and likes compare to Rustom trailer nd song.
Still crying like papa boy is amir khan or salman ? He can’t save bad movie neither can get big opening without fantastic trailer & holiday….!
And
Ajays highest non franchise grosser is singham with 99 crs only ?
he is yet to cross 100 without franchise And for them 112 is too less 4 shivay ? just laugh.
Ranbir bigger star than ajay
Karan johar 100% successful director while ajay flop director. Accept the fact and simple Logic .even for me 112 is too high for an ajay movie ,but diwali obviusly raises business…!

Sultan created history by becoming the first film to cross 200 crore in Worldwide business in the first weekend as the film grossed 148 crore (Gross) in India and $8.60 million Overseas (58 crore). This gave it a three day Worldwide gross total of 206 crore. Below are the top five Wordwide opening three day weekends.
1. Sultan – 206 crore apprx
2. Dhoom 3 – 193.32 crore
3. Bajrangi Bhaijaan – 187.24 crore
4. Prem Ratan Dhan Payo – 185.14 crore
5. PK – 174.40 crore
Pk ka record tutgaya aur bb ka footfalls bhi
Around Dhoom 3 level will be ok
Anything less and I will be disappointed
@6:08pm RatZone
Hahahaha what a joke
“It will wrap up somewhere between 250cr -300cr….”
LOL
Couldnt you be more specific…?
Next time a SRKs mahacrap releases try being as precise with your predictions, like predicting ‘between 80cr to 140cr’…!
Mark my WORDS again…..sultan final total collection will be 272cr not able to touch 300cr
