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

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.

SULTAN gained huge momentum again as the weekend started with business of around 11.50 crore nett on its second Saturday. This takes the business of the second weekend to around 19 crore nett and the grand total stands at 248 crore nett. The gain on Saturday from Friday is around 55%. The film should see good gains again on Sunday.

That film is course to be the highest grossing film ever in the North and it was the Delhi NCR and East Punjab region which saw huge gains. The two days in the second weekend have already recorded better collections than what any film has recorded for the whole second weekend in 2016. It will be one of the few films to go over 30 crore nett for the second weekend and possibly even go over 50 crore nett for the second week though that depend on the Sunday growth..
----------------
SULTAN had an excellent second weekend as it grossed around 34 crore nett. The only films to have collected more in the second weekend are PK, BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN and DHOOM 3. The next best was BAJIRAO MASTANI at 34.02 crore and the final SULTAN numbers will in the same range. The total business of the film so far is 263 crore nett apprx.

The film showed fantastic growth over the weekend as the family audiences came out in full force across the country. Despite GREAT GRAND MASTI not doing well the film could have been 7-8 crore higher over the weekend if that film had not come. The film has become the third highest grosser of all time as it beat the figures of DHOOM 3 (Hindi) and is now chasing BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN and PK. Below are the figures of SULTAN till date.
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 apprx
Second Weekend - 34,00,00,000 apprx
Grand TOTAL 263.09 crore

The film is now chasing the business of BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN and PK which are the top two grossers. The film will cross the 300 crore nett mark but PK nett collections are probably out of range and the main question that remains is that where it finishes in terms of the 316 crore nett figure of BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN.

SULTAN had very strong collections again on its second Friday but the drop is there compared to what the film has been doing before. The collections were in the 7-7.50 crore nett range on the second Friday. There was a noticeable drop on Tuesday and it is there again on second Friday but this was sort of expected as there was a new release. Even though GREAT GRAND MASTI has not done well it has hit the collections of SULTAN by around 15% on the second Friday.

The second Friday is still a big number and only six or seven films have a better second Friday with most of these coming on a open week and for the other films the second Friday was day eight whereas here it is day ten.
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 (2nd) - 7.25 cr apprx
Grand TOTAL 236.34 crore

The business on the second Friday does make it hard to reach the nett figures of BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN. But when GREAT GRAND MASTI was preponed it had made it a stiffer task already as to chase lifetime records. Two open weeks are must and preferably three should be there. This will cost Sultan around 10-12 crore nett over the week. The share could still reach there as it racked up around 125 crore distributor share in week one and is chasing 162 crore of  BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN.
