 3rd Day Friday Box Office Collections of EK THA TIGER


"Ek Tha Tiger" has become an interesting case at box office. Film took an historic opening on Day 1 leaving every record shattered. But yesterday film dropped and everyone thought that this was natural as it was a working day.

But film dropped again on Friday. Film witnessed 15% drop and collections came around 11.50 cr nett. Now film has collected 58.75 cr nett in 3 days and now next 3 days will decide film’ fate. Tomorrow film should witness a jump.

Film also hit by ban in Pakistan and its overseas collections are not exceptional. Overall film is heading for an interesting finish this weekend.

As per official figures, film collected 14.25 cr nett on Day 2 taking its two day total to 46.50 cr nett. This is a good number but film should not drop further in next two days otherwise it will throw away benefit of awesome first day number. As per early trends on Friday, film has shown further drops of 15% in smaller centers and bigger centers remained on somewhat similar levels.

Economics Of EK THA TIGER: Why It Is A Blockbuster?

Economics Of EK THA TIGER: Why It Is A Blockbuster?



 “Ek Tha Tiger” released with much fanfare on 15th August. Film started with record breaking collections and then film touched again 20 cr plus on Sunday. Film collected highest 5 day collections ever and today it broke 100 cr barrier thus becoming fastest 100 cr grosser in history of Bollywood beating previous best of 7 days of “Bodyguard”.


Film is now heading for 120 cr nett in 6 days and then 135 cr nett plus will be 1st week collections. Even if film drops by 60% or above then 2nd week should collect 50-55 cr nett in 2nd week. That will take film to 185-190 cr nett in 2 weeks. After that it will depend on performance of “Joker” and “Ek Tha Tiger” will beat 200 cr nett or not will be answered then.


As far as film’s economics is concerned then it’s a huge money spinner for Yash Raj Films. Film has fetched satellite rights of 45 crores and home video plus music rights were sold for 5 crores. Film will further earn 20-25 crores from overseas. These all will add up to 70-75 cr. Film will minimum collect 100-110 crores from domestic theatrical business for producers. Thus total earnings will be in range of 170-185 crores. Film was made on the budget of 75 crores plus 15 crores of promotion and advertising. Thus “Ek Tha Tiger” will earn 180 on the investment of 90 cr which is almost 100% of profit. Such a return on such a huge investment is mind blowing.


If this is not a blockbuster then which film is!
