Dangal box office collections: Something wrong? Cinemas hardly full, yet Aamir Khan film's earnings skyrocketing!

Aamir Khan is currently grabbing headlines for breaking a new record with each new day since its release, but are its box office figures real?

Dangal box office collections: Aamir Khan is currently grabbing headlines for breaking a new record with each new day since the film's release. As of Tuesday evening, the film's earnings reached a staggering Rs 155 crore, knocking MS Dhoni: The Untold Story off from the second spot on the highest grossing films of the year. With such figures, you'd expect theatres to be packed - even on weekdays, since the earnings on both Monday and Tuesday have been over the Rs 20 crore mark. Yet, Sucheta Dalal recently raised the issue of Dangal not seeing the expected occupancy in theatres.

@suchetadalal available.Still booked 2 tickets.When entered theater,around 15% seats still empty. Same strategy for promotion like #Pk 2/2.

In a tweet today, she posted, "How come this happens with #aamirKhan movies? Cannot be a co-incidence. Last time, half of Regal was empty for PK on Christmas Day colaba." Her statement came in response to a Dangal viewer's observations, "@suchetadalal available.Still booked 2 tickets.When entered theater,around 15% seats still empty. Same strategy for promotion like #Pk 2/2."

i live in North America and the movie came out earlier than India here, and regardless of that, couldn't get tickets before the 26th, that too a houseful show despite the fact that its running 4 times a day. Even on their site, its sold out for the rest of the week, and thats really extraordinary as here, hindi movies mostly run to empty theatres. Kahaani 2, HF3, Welcome, Sultan, Talash etc were less than half full. Its such a shame such a beautiful movie cant get the credit it truly deserves and has to be bought down by all means.

Good u posted this topic..so now the audience who r going to theatre here in ind or abroad can post their own view on whether theatre is empty or full 😃
I will request all fans and non fans to post the reality here..milk ka milk and water ka water ho jayega

When I went needless to say it was jam packed ..

Coming to this person who tweeted ..if she goes in a early morning show obviously it wont b full ..and she claims it was 15% empty which means it was 85 percent full..what does that mean then 😆...also online limited seats r available and rest r blocked for spot booking in single screens like regal cinema. .so if online she sees those screens r blocked it does not mean they r counted as full..wish writer used little logic while writing this

I went to watch it the second time today and we spoke with the usher for a while and she said the movie has been houseful.
She was like 'What is in this film?" and I told her a little bit about the film and we ended our conversation with me convincing her to watch it. 😆

The movie is everything a movie goer wants in it and much more.

Here in Dubai, the shows are still housefull. True though, it always happens with AK's movies, every other excuse is made to discredit him and his movies. From hirani brand to inflated tickets and now this.
