SULTAN had a noticeable drop for the third time in its run on its second Monday. This has happened before on first Tuesday, second Friday and now the second Monday Each time the film has stabalised later so same is likely to happen as its an established film. The film grossed around 4.25 crore nett on its second Monday which is 40-45% from Friday.

Monday - 4,25,00,000 apprx
Second Week - 38,25,00,000 apprx (4 Days)
Grand TOTAL 267.34 crore
The total business of the film so far is a huge 267 crore nett and the second week seems to be heading for around 49 crore nett which will take the total after two weeks to around 278 crore nett. The third week will not see any major competition as the main Hindi release is MADAARI which is unlikely to open well.
There will be huge drops down South though as the Rajinikanth starrer KABALI will release and that film is expected to take those markets by storm be it Tamal Nadu, Kerala, Nizam / Andhra or Mysore.
---------------------------
SULTAN dropped around 10% on its second Tuesday and the total now stands at 271 crore nett apprx. The second week will fall a little short of 50 crore nett which will make it the sixth highest second week collection of all time. The film had a long first week and there are no holidays in week two for Sultan which meant it would always have been impossible for SULTAN to challenge the big second week grossers. The collections of SULTAN till date is as follows.
Wednesday - 36,59,00,000
Thursday 37,25,00,000
Friday - 31,50,00,000
Saturday - 36,50,00,000
Sunday 38,25,00,000
Monday - 15,50,00,000
Tuesday - 13,00,00,000
Wednesday - 11,00,00,000
Thursday - 9,50,00,000
Week One (extended) - 229.09 crore apprx
Friday 7,50,00,000
Saturday - 11,50,00,000
Sunday - 15,00,00,000
Monday - 4,25,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 3,75,00,000
Second Week - 42,00,00,000 apprx (5 Days)
Grand TOTAL 271.09 crore
The lifetime business of the film seems to be heading for around 300 crore nett. An early estimate would be around 300-305 crore nett but a lot depends on the number this Friday and then the growth which comes on Saturday. The film has seen a trend of huge weekends and collections coming off on the weekdays.
---------------------------
SULTAN did very well in its second week grossing 48.75 crore nett apprx and taking its two week total to 278 crore nett. This is the third highest figure ever after PK and BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN. The collections did see a drop as against other huge grossers but that was always going to happen as it was a holiday extended first week which meant huge consumption in the first week.
The film will is looking at a 300 crore nett plus total though if there is a big drop in the collections today (Friday) as compared to yesterday (Thursday) then it could become a touch and go situation to reach 300 crore nett. A normal 15-20% drop would be good enough and it should not be hard as the competition is not too strong outside South India. The film did not drop on Thursday which meant the weekdays in the second week have held strong with collections dropping just 15% from Mon - Thu period.
The second week collections are the sixth highest of all time behind PK, BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN, DHOOM 3, 3 IDIOTS and BAJIRAO MASTANI. Generally all the films above barring BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN did get benefit of a holiday or two in their respective second weeks while SULTAN was a normal week. The film is closing on the 80 crore nett mark in Mumbai and has crossed 55 crore nett in Delhi/UP. The eventual business in Mumbai will probably be higher than all Hindi releases this year at an all India level barring AIRLIFT and HOUSEFULL 3
The film across South India has become the second highest Hindi grosser after PK as BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN numbers under performed with BAAHUBALI dominating the show down South at that time. The figures of SULTAN will also take a hit is South from today due to release of KABALI but it has already done fantastic numbers for a very North Indian film.
