SULTAN had another huge day as it put up around 11 crore nett on its eight day. The drops are 15% on the weekdays which is little higher than normal as its an extended week and it is coming off a huge holiday period.  Despite normal trike rates rates the Wednesday figures are similar to AIRLIFT day one (weekend ticket rates) which was the biggest hit of 2016 before SULTAN. It shows how big SULTAN is compared to what has come before this year. The collections of SULTAN till date are as follows.
Friday - 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 apprx
TOTAL - 219.59 crore apprx

If the film continues with a similar fall today it will be hitting an extraordinary 229 crore nett in nine days. This will make it the fourth highest grossing film ever in just nine days.
----------------------
SULTAN went below 10 crore nett for the first time in its run on day nine but has still accumulated 229 crore nett in its run so far which is just incredible. The film crossed the business of films like KRRISH 3, YEH JAWAANI HAI DEEWANI and HAPPY NEW YEAR in just five days and was in the range of films like CHENNAI EXPRESS and KICK in seven days.

The film is now chasing the top three - DHOOM 3, BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN and PK. The first one will be caught very soon but the other two are dependent on where SULTAN lands up today (Day 10). The collections of Sultan till date are as follows.
Friday - 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 apprx
TOTAL - 229.09 crore apprx

The difference between DHOOM 3, BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN and PK is that they had open runs for 2-3 weeks while here its just a nine day run before a major release like GREAT GRAND MASTI comes. This could hit the collections of SULTAN by around 10-12 crore nett over the week even if GREAT GRAND MASTI does not work.

SULTAN has smashed many circuit records in India and Overseas but the main records till date are as follows.

First Weekend India
The film grossed 105.50 crore nett beating the record of BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN which was 101.42 crore nett. It is the second film to cross 100 crore nett in three days.

First Weekend Worldwide
The film grossed 211 crore beating the record of DHOOM 3 which was 194.29 crore. First film to cross 200 crore Worldwide in three days.

First Week India
The film grossed 208.50 crore nett apprx in its first week beating the record of BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN which was 183.52 crore. It is the first film to cross 200 crore nett in seven days. This is probably the biggest record for the film and could hang around for some time.

First Week Worldwide
The film has grossed 390-395 crore Worldwide in the first week beating the record of DHOOM 3 which was 337 crore. This like the India first week record is a huge one but it is mainly due to the huge seven day business in India as Overseas DHOOM 3 has better seven day figures.

The opening day record in India was sure to go if Eid did not fall a day late. The business of SULTAN on Saturday and Sunday basically confirm this. It looks like PREM RATAN DHAN PAYO opening day record is going to hold for some time as there does not seem to any film to challenge this record on the horizon.

The last time an opening day record held for more than two years was KABHI KHUSHI KABHIE GHAM in 2001. The record held for 28 months and you can't rule out PREM RATAN DHAN PAYO opening day record holding out for that long as well.

SULTAN continued its great run at the box office on Monday with collections in the 16 crore nett region. The film had ticket rates at multiplexes come to normal levels and the drop in rates were was more than normal as ticket rates were inflated to highest rates ever over the five day weekend. The collections are down 50% from Friday but footfalls are down just 30%. The collections of SULTAN till date are as follows.
Friday - 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 - 16,00,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 196.09 crore apprx

The film is going be the first film to cross 200 crore nett in a week as its heading for a 210 crore apprx first week beating the previous record by an insane 27 crore nett apprx. The extended nine day week will fall in the 230-235 crore nett range and then comes the crucial 8th day which will give a idea where the film will go in terms of lifetime business.

The early release of GREAT GRAND MASTI means the film will not get a clear run like the other big films like BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN, PK and DHOOM 3 got and although GREAT GRAND MASTI is not a huge film it will be aiming at a 2000 screen release which will hit the screen space of SULTAN.
---------------
SULTAN set a huge record for week one as its first week collections went to 208 crore nett plus. This beats the previous first week record of BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN by a huge 26 crore nett. On the other hand the film also saw its first noticeable drop on day seven after a huge run as it dropped 15% apprx from the previous day.  The collections of SULTAN till date are 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 apprx
TOTAL - 208.59 crore apprx

The film has basically done the business of films like CHENNAI EXPRESS and KICK in seven days. The extended first week is going to close at around 230 crore nett and where it lands on its second Friday will determine its lifetime business.

SULTAN has had an unbelievable extended five day weekend grossing around 181.50 crore apprx nett in five days. These figures are similar to what BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN and PK did in seven days. The film just shattered almost every record in the book. There was a dip on Friday which was a working day but the film went up to the Eid levels again on Saturday and Sunday. An early estimate for Sunday is 39 crore nett apprx.

The figures were record breaking all over with every circuit doing fantastic business. The North Indian touch in the film has meant that North is extraordinary but places where it may have found it harder like Mysore and West Bengal are also huge with the former hitting 11.50 crore nett in five days.

The weekend business has ensured the film is a BLOCKBUSTER and it remains to be seen where Monday lands up. The film does not have the benefit of weekday holidays like a BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN or PK which allowed ticket rates for those films to stay at weekend levels so it will harder to set weekday records but what is certain is that film will become the first film to cross 200 crore nett in a week, another major record added to the list.

SULTAN had a phenomenal Saturday with business of around 36.50 crore nett which takes the four day total to around 142 crore nett and if the advances for Sunday are counted the 150 crore nett barrier had already been breached by the end of business on Saturday.

The film just ran riot on Saturday especially in North India with Delhi/UP flirting with all time record collections and East Punjab growing a humongous 30% plus from high levels on Friday. It is very difficult for a commercial masala film coming on a such a wide release to grow on Saturday if its day two but here there is growth in the 20% region despite it being day four.

The Eid benefit is normally there for three days in the Muslim centres and that should have ended yesterday. But it is Sunday now and normally for this type of film you would assume that Sunday will show more growth than Saturday. So possibly history is about to be created with the first 40 crore nett plus day and highest single day in history.

Obviously it is not certain that Sunday will show more growth than Saturday because eventually the Sunday is day five and Muslim centres are getting back to normal. But with the sort of Saturday the film has had, even 10% growth will mean an extraordinary Sunday.

Basically the film is going to do similar to what BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN (184 cr) did in a week in five days. It could go a little higher or little lower depending on Sunday but the range is around BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN seven days in five days.

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 may 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 Ramzan 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 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.
------------------------------
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.
------------------------------
SULTAN was excellent again on day three with business of 31.50 crore nett apprx as per early estimates which has taken its three day weekend business to around the 105 crore nett which is an all time record for Hindi cinema. The drop on day three is 15% which is excellent as its coming of a holiday period though in some parts the Eid factor is still helping collections and this will ease slowly over the weekend.

The film is still going up and down in the various circuits and it will be Monday that the circuits will come done to the more normal ratios. On day three Mumbai, Rajasthan and Nizam/Andhra all held very well, Delhi/UP was phenomenal as it did better than the first day while East Punjab which smashed all records in the first two days had the biggest drop.

The third day has ensured the film is the biggest hit of the year although that's not really saying much when AIRLIFT, the biggest hit of the year prior to SULTAN only did well only in the main cities meaning its hardly competition for a real Hindi film like SULTAN.

Its difficult to say where the collections will go today as there is no precedence in the recent past to how Eid has fallen and then the fourth day being a Saturday which is a day where some circuit shows healthy gains. But here its not the second day but fourth day which should makes gains harder. 
------------------------------
SULTAN has created a new ALL TIME RECORD for the first weekend by collecting over 105 crore nett approx in three days. It beats the record of last years Eid release BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN. Below are the top ten opening three day weekends.
1. Sultan - 105.50 crore apprx
2. Bajrangi Bhaijaan - 101.42 crore
3. Prem Ratan Dhan Payo - 97.63 crore
4. Dhoom 3 - 97.25 crore
5. PK - 93.82 crore
6. Happy New Year - 93.16 crore
7. Chennai Express - 86.28 crore
8. Kick - 80.13 crore
9. Singham Returns - 76.82 crore
10. Dilwale - 63.82 crore

It has been second time the century mark mark has been crossed in three days. The opening weekends are dominated by Salman Khan starrers with the top three films all belonging to him which again shows his present domination of the box office.

As a star its the opening records that matter, most important is opening day where Salman Khan holds the top two and that is followed by weekend where he now holds top three.
