Sultan Box Office Collections: Scores big on second day

Salman Khan’s Sultan was outstanding on its second day at the box office. The film has recorded the 6th highest single-day in the history of the Hindi Film Industry.

Previously, only one film this year had crossed the 20 crore mark on a single day (3rd day of Housefull 3, national holiday). Sultan has twice crossed the 35 crore mark in two days (both partial holidays) and should remain above the 20 crore mark throughout its extended weekend.

The film has shown a small growth in business on Thursday over Wednesday, which is a sign that the word-of-mouth is certainly not negative and people are liking the film. Even with the Eid factor, it takes good word-of-mouth for films with such a massive release to sustain after a huge opening day.

The trend is also positive in a circuit like East Punjab, which has held on very strongly after a record-breaking opening day. Some centres, even multiplexes (it’s a multiplex dominated circuit) have shown decent growth.

Overall, Sultan is well on course to be a big winner at the box office. The question will now be, how big. Can it peak like Bajrangi Bhaijaan or sustain well enough to cross the 300 crore mark?

Our IndicineLBO predictions should give you a better idea on what to expect, but we have delayed our final predictions by a day. We need atleast one working day to analyse the trend, but we haven’t yet been able to ascertain the exact percentage of advantage the partial holiday has given the film in the last couple of days. So stay tuned to our final prediction at around 1PM tomorrow.

Sultan Box Office Collections:

  • Wednesday – 36.54 crore
  • Thursday – 37.20 crore
  • 2-day Total collections - 73.74 crore

  • Dont give any excuse salman fans.CE was also face this so called your Pre eid Post eid peried but broken each and every record.you hould accept ur defeat that salman dont have stardum like srk to open huge.

  • Back to back days collections of 35 crs …halwa hai kyaa…..wdd salman expectations r so high dat 40 is d benchmark….ddats stardom…..friddayy too wld b 30 plus….i hope film goes on a long run…as its a damn good mvie….rejoice salman fans ….haters hv one job…let dm hate …..

  • Sultan continued to create history on its second day with some all time circuit records. It has also managed to record two of the highest single days of all time. The only film to have two days in the top five, all others have one. Below are the top five single days in history.

    1. Prem Ratan Dhan Payo Day One – 39.32 crore
    2. Bajrangi Bhaijaan Day Three – 38.53 crore
    3. PK Day Three – 38.24 crore
    4. Sultan Day Two – 37 crore apprx
    5. Sultan Day One – 36.59 crore

    The list is dominated with Salman Khan starrers with PK the only exception. As Sultan has a second day similar to first it has chances of getting five days above 30 crore nett which has never happened before but will depend on the drops over the next two days.

  • Guys it’s very simple. First day was a partial holiday and the film did 36.54cr Muslims stayed away even in the areas where it was a holiday. Second day it did over 37 cr which is outstanding because remember it already did over 36.50 cr on first day, so the business got diluted between 2 days. A movie can only do 40 cr or more when things are certain that it is released on a full holiday and it has to be the first day because business gets diluted if holiday is 2nd or 3rd day. Very simple.

  • HNY 1st 2-Days (One holiday, one partial-holiday) : 45+31 crs = 76 crs
    Sultan 1st 2-Days (One holiday, one partial-holiday) : 36+37 crs = 73 crs

    #Difference

  • Now it’s confirmed phultan completely underperformed in MAIN EID(2ND DAY) compared to UNIVERSAL EID (1ST DAY).

    SO it’s now confirmed phultan story already rejected by the audience.and now phultan is completely under the grip of NEGATIVE WOM.

    an Friday (Sunday also) the collection will decline a huge but will sustain due to Sunday.but from Monday this crapfest is going to be removed from all the theatres.and WE NEED GREAT GRAND MASTI soon as people’s are victimised by this crapfest to mental trauma which is a bigger crisis problem as well as disadvantage about this mahacrapfest gunday legend-non actor duo’s phultan which is the mahacrap of the millenium.

    So from day-1 sallu fans started giving excuses after excuses even lallugot all the advantages Anushka+YRF+huge songs+Randeep Hooda+huge entertainment+2 BIG EID HOLIDAY who struggling to surpass 40CR!!!!! itne pe to KING KHAN KI 60CR OPENING HO JATI.

    still I don’t understand why @indicine is overrating by using these words like huge/earth shattering/humongous/bumper opening blah blah like shamelessly,r of.

    Now this is what called underperformance ewith out any competition.e everyone can easily and clearly can see.unlike bb last year which clearly show a huge upward trend on 2ND DAY and keep on huge trend for many days while phultan is the failure from day-1 with out Kabir Papa/Harshali Behan.now still there is a lot of things supporting sallu though these two are absent thus time still sallu is struggling.if is just a shit ,my foot through which you’re defining sallu’s bhojpuri stardom,rofl.

    Now kind advise to sallu to retire soon dn join the bhojpuri industry as your time is ended and non actor like you doesn’t deserve bollywood.or do grandpa role of KING SRK till the end of your career that may give you a best survival option.

    And I request to all Real Indians to boycott this mental torture phultan foe the the sake of respect of WOMEN ,WE have to boycott this crapfest.

    JAI HIND.

  • Irony is haters are calling 37cr an underperform when sultan crossed life time of FAN in 2.5 days straight. If 37 cr is underperform for a star then imagine how big that star is.

  • today,overall 35% occupancy is less as compared to Thursday…it should collect somewhere 23cr-24cr otherwise we have to say manipulation starts

  • I think the jungle book will be the most successful movie of the year . if not EID than sultan will wrap below 200 cr for sure .

  • Highest 2nd Day Collection:

    Sultan – 37.20
    Bajrangi Bhaijaan – 36.60
    Dhoom 3 – 33.36
    Happy New Year – 31.52
    PRDP – 31.03

  • End collection will be 220 cr range. Lallu paid to create hype, but yrf don’t fudge collections, lol

  • Indicine pls answer honestly my question What is like Salman without holidays and with clashes because till now he is playing safe game making ppl fool??

  • @indicine – It feels like the collections of Sultan are deliberately kept low. If every circuit has record collection, why doesnt the overall collection be record breaking?

    It seems YRF is keeping it deliberately low like they did for Ek Tha Tiger.
    Is YRF doing it to save SRK?

  • Sultan did excellent business on day two with business set to be very close to the first day with business in the 36 crore nett region. The two day business will be in the 72-73 crore nett region. The film has actually gained in North India, Central India and Nizam / Andhra but when the final collections come from Mumbai circuit later on they will take the all India total a little lower than the first day.
    Normally there is a 15-20% drop on the day after the Eid holiday but here there is hardly a drop as Eid actually fell a day later than the official holiday had been announced. This is also why the collections are all over the place with each circuit behaving differently depending on the holiday situation. .
    It is looking as per early estimates that it is the second time that a film has managed to score two days over 35 crore nett. The first being Bajrangi Bhaijaan last year which was over 35 crore nett on Saturday and Sunday. Dhoom 3 is the only film to score three days of over 30 crore nett and that is what Sultan can do or maybe even one better and a historic 4 or even 5 days of over 30 crore nett. But that will depend on where the films lands today.
    The business is excellent all over but it is record breaking in East Punjab while Delhi / UP is playing catch up due to day one being Ramazan but the film is looking set for a fantastic run in North India. It was historic in North India on day two with business similar to Prem Ratan Dhan Payo record breaking day one. CI amd Nizam / Andhra also created history with the highest figures ever for any day in both circuits.

  • Sultan hit five all time circuit records on day two. The circuits below not only set the highest second day figures ever but were the highest figures ever seen in these circuits on any day.
    East Punjab – 4,01,00,000
    Rajasthan – 2,56,00,000
    CI – 1,81,00,000
    Nizam / Andhra – 2,95,00,000
    Odisha – 51,00,000
    Delhi / UP was very close to an all time record missing by around 20 lakhs. The weekend is almost certain to be a record now as it goes past 100 crore to become only the second film to hit a century in three days after Bajrangi Bhaijaan.

  • @chain smoker… okay sultan will be finished after 1st week but it still will be higher than the highest grosser of 3.7 billion fan’s actor…
    lol.. hahaha rofl, lmao.

  • Salman khan with most numbers of 35+ crs on anyday.

    PRDP – 41 crs (1st day)
    Bajrangi Bhaijaan – 36 (2nd day) & 38 (3rd day)
    Sultan – 36 (1st day) & 35+ (2nd day) (est. today)
    5 time salman crossed 35 crs
    SRK only HNY. so now srk fans bark who is the king of opening.
    RIP RK FANS RIP SRK FANS RIP SRK FANS RIP SRK FANS

  • List of Top 5 Highest 2nd day collection in Bollywood:-

    1) Sultan = 37.2cr
    2) Bajrangi Bhaijaan = 36.6cr
    3) Dhoom 3 = 33.3cr
    4) HNY = 31.5cr
    5) PRDP = 31cr

    So here also Salman Leads:
    Salman 3
    Aair 1
    Srk 1

    Now who is bigger star……

  • Feeling sad for bhai..
    Still no 40 crs in single day with 2 back to back holidays.. It shows wom is not positive and it will tank after the eid festival..

  • Also this is the first time that the producer is reporting low earning while the trade is saying 40+ all the time. Is YRF reporting low because Salman wants a share of the profit or is the movie really earning what YRF is saying?? I mean 37cr isn’t a low figure on 2 day but some people are saying that this might be true.
