Sultan Box Office/review thread # 3 - Page 7

Trying to make a strong point to convince @aliabbaszafar that ice cream cones are better than cups #Throwback

@BeingSalmanKhan has not 1 or 2 but 3 out of 3 top domestic weekends \m/ GROSS (tax included)

Sultan dropped around 35% on its fourth Monday from its fourth Friday and the business in the fourth week seems to be heading for around 4.25 crore nett which will take its lifetime business to around 298 crore nett. The drop in the fourth week is looking to be 73%. A similar trend over the next few weeks will leave it short of 300 crore nett by a very slender margin. The 73% drop is because of a major release like Dishoom but next week the competition is much weaker so it should trend better and be very close to 300 crore nett before the clash of Mohenja Daro and Rustom. Sultan has now crossed the 85 crore nett benchmark in Mumbaia nd the 60 crore nett benchmark in Delhi /UP. Basically the business from just these two circuits is far more than any other release this year. The business of Sultan till date is as follows.

Week One (extended) - 2,29,37,00,000

Week Two - 48,89,00,000

Week Three - 15,81,00,000

Friday - 60,00,000

Saturday - 1,00,00,000

Sunday - 1,50,00,000

Monday - 35,00,000

Fourth Weekend - 3,45,00,000 apprx

GRAND TOTAL - 2,97,52,00,000 apprx

Sultan has reached the $24 million mark in Overseas which is INR 161 crore. It is now the sixth highest grossing Hindi film in the Overseas market going past films like My Name Is Khan and Chennai Express. The biggest contributors are Gulf at $8.5 million where it will become the second highest grosser ever, US / Canada at $6.1 million. United Kingdom is next at 1.75 million, here it has under performed considering its a Eid release, Pakistan is next at a record $3 million followed by Australia Au$1.35 million and then Nepal at $600k. It will probably need a second phase release to hit $25 million and is looking at a finish somewhere around $24.5 million. The top all time grossers in Overseas are as follows.

1. PK - $46,520,000

2. Dhoom 3 - $30,830,000

3. Bajrangi Bhaijaan - $28,640,000

4. Dilwale - $26,580,000

5. 3 Idiots - $25,180,000

6. Sultan - $24,000,000

The complete list of top grossers in Overseas can be seen here

The Worldwide gross of the film is 577 crore with a GBOC of 416 crore in India and 161 crore in Overseas. This is the third highest total ever after PK and Bajrangi Bhaijaan. Sultan can go to around 585 crore with 600 crore probably being out of reach unless it goes on to gross in A China or other Far East nation.
