Chennai Express Day 1 (Friday) Box Office Collections: SRK Smashes Salman's ETT Record

August 10th, 2013 by Koimoi.com Team

Comments ( 35 )

Chennai Express opened on its 1st Friday spectacularly at the Domestic Box Office. The film on its opening day alone has earned whooping 33.10 crores, smashing all previous highest opening day record of any film. With that the film's total income already rests at 39.85 crores, adding the film's collections from its preview shows.

SRK has seen a release after last year's Yash Chopra directorial Jab Tak Hai Jaan. And being a star of his magnitude, the response is naturally huge and overwhelming.

Chennai Express till yesterday evening had earned over 30 crores and adding the earnings from night shows the film made a magnanimous total beating Salman's record of highest opening day collections from last Eid when Ek Tha Tiger made 32.92 crores on its Day 1.

Since there is an unsaid competition between the stars, box office numbers have marginally favoured SRK over Salman this time.

Historical - 1st Day Friday Worldwide Box Office Collection Of CHENNAI EXPRESS

View Image in Large Size

"Chennai Express" zoomed passed every record yesterday in paid preview show and that too with some huge margin. Today film was expected to break few records and it seems that film is on the verge of rewriting history.

Friday, 9th August 11:55 PM IST

CHENNAI EXPRESS On Verge Of Rewriting Box Office History

First to clear some confusion among trade and audience about opening day record! Film released yesterday and Eid is no doubt a big festival but not a national holiday like 15th August when every office and every organization remain closed resulting in huge footfall as was the case with "Ek tha Tiger" last year. Yes "Chennai Express" might still beat that record though to be fair it should beat "Dabangg" and "Bodyguard" easily which were similar Eid release not a 15th August release!

Filmwas extraordinary in Mumbai, Hyderabad, Chennai, Mysore, Maharashtra, CP and Rajasthan. CI, West Bengal, Bihar, Orrisa and Delhi were very good. But film was only good in East Punjab, Gujarat and UP for various reasons like heavy rain (Gujarat) and teej festival (UP).

As per early estimates, film should collect 33 cr nett on Friday taking its total figure to close to 40 cr nett. That means film might set new record beating opening day record (32.25 cr nett) of "Ek tha Tiger" by a whisker. It largely depends on night shows which are too many in number but running housefull anyways at most of the places.

Film was equally good in overseas and at the moment as per early estimates it seems that film will establish some seriously big record there on day one, Film should collect in excess of 15 cr and including paid previews figure can surpass 20 cr.

Film should collect 60 cr nett worldwide by end of today which is simply outstanding. Going by the advance booking report, it seems that tomorrow will be another big day at box office.

Below are the collection for the film -

Territories	Collection
UAE	08.25 cr
Singapore	01.55 cr
UK	03.20 cr
Australia, New Zealand	00.95 cr
USA,Canada	03.75 cr
Rest Of The World	05.25 cr
Total Overseas Collections	22.95 cr*

*earlyestimated figures including paid previews & Friday

Domestic Collection
Thursday (Paid Preview)	06.75 cr nett
Friday	33.00 cr nett
Total Domestic Collections	39.75 cr nett
Total Overseas Colelctions	22.95 cr
Total Worldwide Collections	62.70 cr
