SULTAN Box Office Report: The Salman Khan Film is Creating History

We have been predicting Sultan’s future for quite some time before its release and in just three days several of those bold predictions have come true.

After its bumper opening and equally impressive follow-up on the second day, Sultan showed no signs of slowing down on Friday and Saturday. Because, why would it?

The wrestling film, starring Salman Khan and Anushka Sharma, after earning 73.7 crore in its first two days, entered the prestigious 100 crore club by minting nearly 31.66 crore on Friday and 37.10 crore on Saturday. This brings the total domestic box-office collections to an unprecedented 142.62 crore. This makes Sultan the highest grossing film of 2016, beating Airlift.

The film, which earned 105.34 crores in only three days, is only the third film to achieve this remarkable feat. Only Shah Rukh Khan’s Happy New Year and Aamir Khan’s Dhoom 3 have earned 100 crore in first three days of theatrical run.

Also, the tally of 105.34 crore is star Salman Khan’s biggest three-day opening till date. Previously, his films Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Prem Ratan Dhan Paayo have earned 102.60 and 101.47 crore respectively.

That is not all.

This is also the tenth Salman Khan film to gross more than 100 crore at the box-office. TENTH. He is far ahead of Shah Rukh Khan in this race, who has six films over 100 crore mark. 

With the Sunday yet to be counted, Sultan is expected to break more records. The film, which was touted by trade experts to cross 150 crore in its first five days, will easily get past that figure.

All hail Sultan!
