Chennai Express Expectation: Touch 100 Cr in only 3 Days

Chennai Express has indeed surpassed Bindass Bollywood's expectations
by picking up pace
greater than what we had expected. For
its preview shows, we had estimated an
earning of 5 crores, but the film saw its actuals at 6.75 crores at
the Box Office.

On its opening day, the film contradicted
our approximates by a wide margin as
the film made an earning of 33.10 crores at the domestic box office. Given our
estimates of 25 crores, the film smoothly
superseded the same.

Now for Day 2, or its 1st Saturday, we had
expected a 20% growth from its Day 1
which is usual for all films. And hence
now, the range has increased to an
approximate of 40 crores on Day 2 given
the response on its 1st day.

For day 3, the film should see a 15%
pickup from its Saturday numbers. And
now the film should easily earn in the
range above 46 crores.

So the film might venture into the 100
crore club by the conclusion of its 1st
Sunday itself. Hence going by its pace and
day-on-day growth, there's a chance the
film might simply reach the 100 crore
club in merely 3 days even by excluding its paid preview collections altogether.
Hitting a new hilt of record, this SRK film
will create new shattering records at the
box office.

With the hike in ticket prices at
multiplexes all over India and single
screens running housefull persistently,
this isn't a tough feat to attain for the
film that has began its run with
thumping strength.
