Box Office Check : The Box Office Records Chennai Express Aims To Surpass :: 1).Highest Opening Day Collection Salman Khan’s Ek Tha Tiger holds the record of 32.92 crore as highest opening day collection. The same also manages to be the highest any film has earned in a single day. It is a benchmark record. Dabangg2 which earned Rs 21.10 crores and finally Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani which made Rs 19.45 crores despite being released on a non- holiday. 2).Highest Opening Weekend So far 2013 has seen the highest opening weekend collections of Ranbir Kapoor starrer Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. The film within its first three days managed to earn a sum of 62.11 crores. However, the highest weekend opening record ever is held by Salman Khan’s Dabangg 2 that had made 63.60 crores in its first weekend. Salman’s last Eid release Ek Tha Tiger had earned 60.27 crores in its opening weekend.Hence, Chennai Express does have some huge numbers to beat and should aim at a 65 crore mark in order to surpass the highest collections in the list. N.B – The First Three Day Collections have been counted. 3).Speediest Entry into the 100 crore club One can be rest assured that Chennai Express will do the 100+ Cr unless it is a damp fiasco like Sajid Khan’s Himmatwala! SRK’s speediest entry into the club has been with RaOne that made the entry in 10 days. However, Salman Khan’s Dabangg 2 and Ek Tha Tiger both made 100 crores within 5-6 days of its release. The record is followed by YJHD that reached the 100 crore mark in 7 days! The challenge for Chennai Express right now will be to reach the 100 crore club within 5-6 Days. 4).Highest Lifetime Collections The record of the highest collections are still maintained by Aamir Khan’s 3 Idiots which a lifetime of 202 crores. The film is closely followed by Ek Tha Tiger which rests at 199 crores. Though, YJHD has already earned 170+ crores approximately, Chennai Express should optimistically aim for nearing the 200 crore mark. 5).Highest Overseas Collections Record Though the domestic box office has been wavering, overseas is still a domain SRK rules unquestionably. With 6 films in the top 10 Overseas collections, SRK still doesn’t hold the top notch place in the list with held by Aamir Khan’s 3 Idiots that has a total overseas collections of U.S.D 25 million(125 Cr). SRK’s My Name Is Khan is the second on the list with a lifetime global income of U.S.D 23 million(115 Cr). The expectations pining on the film are extreme and with every passing day the hype on it increases. Records wise, the film has the above box office parameters and on a personal front, SRK is all set to claim stronger his position as the Badshah of Bollywood! 6).With the strong figures in order, the biggest challenge for SRK’s Chennai Express will be to beat the collections of Ek Tha Tiger, or at least level it. Since both films are releasing on Eid, the undue comparisons will be natural. So what Say How many Records can CE Beat
