I had predicted a 28cr Day 1 for Chennai Express.
Day 1 figures are out and according to Boxofficeindia.com Chennai Express has earned 29.32cr on Day 1 which has fallen around 1.3cr Short of Ek Tha Tiger which had collected 30.5cr according to the Same source.
Ek Tha Tiger had released with 3300 screens and collected 30.5cr where as Chennai Express released on 3650 screens and failed to cross Ek Tha Tiger by 1.3cr (Approx). But one more thing which we have to take into consideration is Chennai Express had got paid previews on Thursday in which it collected 6.75cr which is a very good figure.
UTV however Quoted that their movie collected 33.12cr on 1st day ( Which are producers numbers) which according to YRF for Ek Tha Tiger was 32.92cr. So if we take into account UTV's numbers we can say that CE has crossed Ek Tha Tiger by 20 lakhs.
One more important factor is Ek Tha Tiger had released during Ramzan Period ie The movie collected 30.5cr without the support of Muslim Crowd. Many people on twitter claim that Ek Tha Tiger had collected 30.75 Cr on 15th August which is a bigger holiday than Eid but i would say yesterday ie 9th August was a bigger day. We can easily say Eid is one of the biggest Holidays of the year as when a movie like Bodyguard (Which i feel is Salmans weakest movie in last 4 years had taken Record breaking opening and shattered previous records by almost 30% margin) so any movie has got more space to collect on Eid. But yet Chennai Express has collected a very good figure on its 1st day. It wont be wrong to say SRK is back as he has given such a Bumper opening after so long
But i would be considering the figures given by Boxofficeindia.com for all the movies so i would be quoting the numbers given by them.
