War became the fifth film in history to collect 200 crore nett in a week after Sultan, Bahubali - The Conclusion, Tiger Zinda Hai and Sanju. Bahubali - The Conclusion remains way ahead and the Sultan figure is the record to beat if its a big holiday week. Bahubali - The Conclusion and Sanju have done it without a holiday week. Bahubali - the Conclusion had a partial holiday on Monday but with Sanju at 200 crore nett it means that the Sultan numbers can be beaten without a holiday week.

Before War no Hrithik Roshan or Tiger Shroff film had even crossed 125 crore nett in the first week. Salman Khan dominates the top first weeks with 7 of the top fifteen weeks including two films above the 200 crore nett mark. The top fifteen first week collections of all time are as follows.
