Top Ten 2016 GROSS Collections - Rustom Second
Tuesday 30 August 2016 11.00 IST
Box Office India Trade Network

Rustom has become the second biggest film of the year in terms of GROSS figures though even the combined figures of Rustom and Airlift fall below Sultan which had figures of over 400 crore and is the third film to achieve that along with PK and Bajrangi Bhaijaan. The gross numbers of Rowdy Rathore are 180.08 and Rustom has an outside chance to reach that as taxes at an all India average were slightly lower than what they are today. A 200 crore gross figure is the benchmark to achieve, this is like what 100 crore nett was a 4-5 years back. If all things equal regarding taxes then 145 crore nett will see a Hindi film hit 200 Gross. The top ten films in terms of GROSS collections for 2016 are as follows.




1. Sultan - 420.34 crore
2. Rustom - 168.25 crore apprx (18 Days)
3. Airlift - 166.03 crore (Tax Free in UP from Week Two)
4. Housefull 3 - 150.39 crore
5. Fan - 116.97 crore
6. Baaghi - 105.94 crore
7. Kapoor & Sons - 96.27 crore
8. Dishoom - 94.21 crore
8. Neerja - 90.36 crore (Tax Free in many states from second week)
9. Udta Punjab - 83.38 crore
10. Ki & Ka - 71.37 crore

There have been 14 films to hit the 200 crore GROSS mark and they can be seen here. Six of the 14 films are Salman Khan starrers highlighting his domination at the box office. Big stars like Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgan have not seen a film hit the 200 crore GROSS mark yet.

Akshay' makes his movies in 1/3 the time, 30% of the cost, 20% of promotions and releases on half the screens. So if they make half of what Salmans films make, he's still coming out ahead for his investors.

It's all about perspective.

Housefull 3 = 3650

Sultan = 4350

How does it is HALF THE SCREENS 😆

Rahi baat Investors ki... Akki has yet to cross 75 Cr Distributor Share, his biggest is 73 cr From Rowdy Rathore... while Salman has given 162 Cr Distributor Share... More than DOUBLE of what AKKI's Biggest Grosser achieved once.

You are right he does take 1/3 time in making 3 Films, Cost of all 3 films, Promotions of all 3 films & Recovery from all 3 films doesn't even match 1/3 of what Salmans' 1 film does 😆

1. Sultan - 420.34 crore
SCREENS = 4350



2. Rustom - 168.25 crore apprx (18 Days)
3. Airlift - 166.03 crore (Tax Free in UP from Week Two)
4. Housefull 3 - 150.39 crore
TOTAL GROSS = 484.67 Cr
TOTAL SCREENS = 2350+3650+1950 = 7950

Difference 😆

Having 3600 Screens more, yet Akki just manage to give 64.33 Cr more gross (Actual TICKET SALES)...

100 Cr CLUB = 200 Cr Club = 300 Cr Club

All are given on NETT Collections... jabki they ignore that E-TAX Cut from film's collection... They should give these CLUBS based on GROSS COLLECTION only which is ACTUAL SALES OF TICKETS for any film...

NETT = GROSS - E-Tax

With GROSS in consideration, we already have 400 Cr Club, which is actually the no. of tickets sold business.
