Sultan has had the sixth highest Monday ever but it is the highest ever if we don't count holiday releases or film where the ticket rates were kept high on weekdays as it was a holiday period. Below are the top ten first Monday collections of all time..
1. Krrish 3 - 29.64 crore (Holiday)
2. Bajrangi Bhaijaan - 26.78 crore (Holiday)
3. PK - 21.15 crore (Enhanced Ticket Rates)
4. Dhoom 3 - 19.87 crore (Enhanced Ticket Rates)
5. Ek Tha Tiger - 18.96 crore (Holiday)
6. Sultan - 15.50. apprx
7. Singham Returns - 14.69 crore
8. Kick - 13.86 crore
9. Happy New Year - 12.74 crore
10. Prem Ratan Dhan Payo - 12.52 crore
Sultan is the only film to go over 15 crore nett where the Monday is a regular Monday like for the majority of releases. PK and Dhoom 3 were both christmas releases so although the Monday for them was not a official holiday, the ticket rates were kept high through the first seven days (more for PK) to benefit from the Christmas period.
If we compare with a Dhoom 3 or PK, Sultan has had double the consumption before the Monday, in another words almost twice the number of people have seen and then Monday is just 20% less than those films despite it being screened on lower ticket rates.
