FAN had a big fall in week two as it grossed around 11.25 crore nett apprx. The drop is 84% apprx from the first week and the total business of the film is around 82 crore nett. The collections compare poorly with the second weeks of other releases this year listed below and its not as any of these set the box office on fire.
1. Airlift - 28.78 crore
2. Neerja - 21.37 crore
3. Kapoor & Sons - 17.46 crore
4. Ki & Ka - 12.45 crore
5. Fan - 11.25 crore apprx

The film has fared better in some markets and is the biggest grosser the year in places like West Bengal and Tamil Nadu/Kerala but that is mainly due to the fact Shah Rukh Khan is the top star in these markets and although business is good compared to other films its just average for a Shah Rukh Khan starrer

FAN continued with low business on its second Monday. The second week four day business of FAN is as follows
Friday - 1,75,00,000
Saturday - 2,50,00,000
Sunday - 3,50,00,000
Monday - 1,00,00,000 apprx
Total - 8,75,00,000

The film is likely to finish the second week with business with around 11.25 crore nett business and lifetime around 85 crore nett.

FAN had a low second weekend dropping around 85% from the first weekend. The second weekend business of FAN is as follows
Friday - 1,75,00,000
Saturday - 2,50,00,000
Sunday - 3,50,00,000
Total - 7,75,00,000

Despite the film not doing well it has become the top Hindi grosser in West Bengal and Tamil Nadu/Kerala already and will also become top film in Nizam/Andhra, Assam and Odisha. The lifetime business looks to be 85 crore nett

The collections of FAN on the eighth day were low with around 2 crore nett. This was on the cards due to how the weekdays in week one performed. The drop is around 88% from day one but the first day part holiday so on fair value the drop is a lower. It could have been worse for the film but the new releases this week were weak films..

The collections of the film are still okay in the big multiplexes but that makes little difference to a film like FAN which carries high expectations even though these expectations are more to with the actor rather than the potential of the film..

The film can probably expect a 80% fall in the second week which would probably mean the film is heading for lifetime business in the 85 crore nett range.

FAN struggled on the weekdays grossing 70.25 crore nett in week one after a good weekend. Though the weekend was good it was mainly due to the first day as the film could not trend well on Saturday or Sunday. The film saw a big fall on Monday, Tuesday maintained well as a part holiday but collections came down further after Tuesday.

The business of the film is so so in the metros while most centres have performed poorly. Mumbai, Delhi /UP, Mysore and West Bengal have seen the best numbers while other circuits are poor. A multiplex dominated circuit like East Punjab was below the mark.

The film does not face any major competition this week barring the strong holdover THE JUNGLE BOOK but with collections coming down to low levels at the end of the week a decent second week total is unlikely to happen

The film could still be the leading Hindi film but that is irrelevant as it mainly because the other Hindi films are poor.

FAN had a good hold on Tuesday as it was a holiday in parts of the country. The first five business of FAN is as follows
Friday - 18,75,00,000
Saturday - 15,50,00,000
Sunday - 17,75,00,000
Monday - 5,75,00,000
Tuesday - 5,50,00,000 approx
Total - 63,25,00,000

This does not make much difference to the film as a larger drop is likely to come on Wednesday. The week will end at around 70 crore nett and the second Friday will determine the lifetime business of the film.

FAN has seen a big drop in collections on Monday with collections in the 5.75 crore crore nett range. The drop is 70% from day one but day one was a holiday. If we take the fair value of day one the drop is around 60% which is still too high.

This was always going to be the problem with film unless the content worked all over. The opening which the film took of was far too high for this type of film. If a film is nearing 20 crore nett on day one then the content and story telling has to be such that appeals all over.

Despite the big drop, the film is still commercially safe as will go into the black. With Yash Raj Films holding all rights there is no one in the chain to lose any money but eventually the film content has not found acceptance and the theatrical business will not go very far. The first four day business is around 57.75 crore nett and the first week will probably close somewhere around 70 crore nett mark

FAN had a good first weekend of 52 crore nett as all three days recorded good business. The weekend is by the far highest of this year beating the 42.50 crore nett of AIRLIFT. In terms of all time openings the film stands in 17th place. The first weekend business of FAN is as follows
Friday - 18,75,00,000
Saturday - 15,50,00,000
Sunday - 17,75,00,000
Total - 52,00,00,000

The film has recorded good numbers in Mumbai, Delhi/UP, West Bengal and Mysore and even other circuits are fairly good but the issue will be that big drop in mass centres on Saturday. There were drops of 30-40% in some cities which makes the long term business depending on a handfull of cities.

The film was always going to be about where the Rajasthan's and Gujarat's go as you can't get a big number without the support of these mass centres and this crowd has not really taken to the film.

FAN had a good first day of 18.75-19 crore nett approx with strong business in the cities especially the metros. The mass centres are lower comparatively but still good for the type of film as these type of films don't do 80 lakhs plus numbers in CP Berar and Rajasthan. Normally they are much lower but these have come due to the presence of Shah Rukh Khan and key is whether they can hold for the film to put up a very big final number.

The best figures are in the metros where the high collecting multiplexes are higher than DILWALE. Mumbai circuit has topped 5 crore nett while Mysore and West Bengal should both cross 1.25 crore nett. East Punjab is on the lower side at 1.75 crore nett plus and could have done better considering its a big holiday there and a huge multiplex presence.

The opening day has come for the film but now its about what happens in the next few days as looking at the first day collections, it does seem to be more of an urban film and the opening day is very high for an urban film. The question will be can it hold and if so for how long as eventually there is a limited audience for an urban film.
