Animal had the third highest first week of all time and became the eleventh film to cross 200 crore nett in one week. It was the fifth film to cross 250 crore nett and Jawan and Pathaan remain the only two films to cross the 300 crore nett mark in seven days.

The comparison for Animal will be Gadar 2 and it will have to follow that films route to 500 crore nett. Animal is around 7 crore nett ahead  and has to at least keep this lead or go further ahead at the end of week two. Gadar 2 added 37 crore nett after its third week and that will be the crunch for Animal as with the huge competition on Xmas it is unlikely to do that unless the Xmas films dont work at all.

The film is sure to beat the numbers of Jawan and Pathaan post the first week but those films had extended first weekends so had healthy leads over the other big films in the first week. The 250 crore nett mark in week one now has to be there for a big film which opens well and these numbers will only go higher with the correct films as audiences are neglecting the smaller films and waiting for the bigger ones at this point of time. The eleven films to have crossed 200 crore nett in week one are as follows.

1 Pathaan - 3,17,06,00,000
