Sultan has had another huge day which should come out in the 35 crore nett range. It is slightly harder to judge than normal weeks as different circuits behave very differently due to the period so early collections have a bit more margin for error but what is clear is that there is not that drop that happens on the day after Eid. Also there is no precedence with Eid falling like it has.
Normally its around 15-20% fall but as the national Eid holiday fell on the last day of Ramazan which meant the film could get the full effect of the holiday so this has bennefited the film on day two and the fall will be minimal if there is one when final collections come tomorrow.
The first day record breaking circuits of East Punjab and Mysore are looking to drop 15% while other circuits will show minimal drops while Delhi / UP and Nizam / Andhra are looking at gains. If Gujarat / Saurashtra can gain the figure can get very close to the opening day figure. Basically the film was looking at a national holiday and a partial holiday in the first two days but with Eid coming late it has meant two partial holidays.
The target now for the film is the highest weekend in the history of Hindi cinema which at the moment is with Bajrangi Bhaijaan at 101.42 crore nett and another 30 crore nett plus day on Friday will take it there.
