TIGER 3 did very well on its third as it collected around 42.50 crore nett which edged past the day one number due to much better business in single screens and smaller centres which were affected by Laxmi Puja on day one. Even the bigger multiplexes of PVR Inox managed numbers which were very close to the first day.

The bigger gains from day one were in circuits like East Punjab, Rajasthan and CI which were 50% or more higher than day one. Even Delhi/UP will be a solid 30-40% up from day one as single screen collections remain at the same level of Monday which was the national holiday. This is also the case in Gujarat and Central and even in some centres of Maharashtra. There are drops in South and East from day one as they were very strong on day one.

The film is doing very well in Mysore with almost 10 crore nett up in 3 days and its not really a strong period here and usually Salman Khan films are not that huge here either. It may well be his biggest grosser in this circuit in the first eight days. Nizam/Andhra, which is stronger for Salman Khan, is not doing as well after strong collections on the first day.

The three day total of the film is around 141.75 crore nett which is a huge total especially with Diwali not really falling right. The test of the film starts now as although it is Bhai dooj on Wednesday which is a good day for collections in many circuits and this will be hit by the big cricket match. Depending on the hit, it then becomes about recovering ground over the next few days.

The collections of TIGER 3 till date are as follows. 

Sunday - 42,25,00,000 apprx

Monday - 57,00,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 42,50,00,000 apprx

----------------------------

TIGER 3 has the third highest first weekend of all time despite it not being an optimum weekend with certain places being dull on day one and other places having a normal working day on day three. The film has still put up a huge 140 crore nett which is only behind JAWAN and PATHAN - they had the holidays falling in a better way.

There are now thirteen films with a 100 crore nett weekend which includes the ten films below and also BRAHMASTRA, BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN and RACE 3. The target now is probably 150 crore nett if the holidays are there and maybe even on a normal weekend it is pretty much possible.

The biggest Diwali weekend before TIGER 3 was THUGS OF HINDOSTAN but at that time, Diwali fell right as opening on the big national holiday and two partial holiday over the next two day but the film was not liked and it did a 98 crore nett weekend.
