Can Jab Tak Hai Jaan Beat The Records Of Ek Tha Tiger?-BOI


Tuesday 30th October 2012 09.00 IST

Boxofficeindia.Com Trade Network

Q. Can Jab Tak Hai Jaan beat the records of Ek Tha Tiger?

A. Opening day and opening weekend it won’t due to the genre, length and competition but lifetime possibility is always there depending on content .

Iqbal Raja

Q. Why do holidays make such a difference, there were holidays 5 and 10 years back also but many times the biggest hits did not come on holidays?
A. The business is much higher today and releases much wider. Ten years ago a holiday also added 30-50% on the day but this amounted to just 30-40 lakhs. today that 30-50% can be as much as 10-12 crore.

M Shastri

Q. Khiladi 420 is being pitched as the biggest brand in films, is this true as its Salman Khan or Dhoom which are the biggest brands?

A. Films are always marketed this way, this is or that film is always a first and biggest so Khiladi 420 is doing many others have done before. This brand thing is also mainly pitched by the media. Salman Khan is the Salman Khan with the action genre, you won’t get the same initial results with another genre. Dhoom is dependent on who the main actor is, last time was Hrithik and now Aamir but tomorrow if its not someone as popular as these guys then its not the same brand.

L Bedi

Q. How much did the animation film Delhi Safari gross over the weekend as it was a good film?
A. The paying public thought otherwise. The first week business was just 1.75 crore nett approx and that too on 300 screens. The film should have been released on just 100 screens but the correct theatres.

    Nice Q/A Session…………

  2. Hot debate. What do you think? Thumb up 10 Thumb down 7

    First question should be ” Can Jab Tak Hai Jaan beat the records of Barfi or Agneepath or any film within the range of 100-135cr ? ” instead of “Ek tha tiger”. I don’t think JTHJ will cross 130cr considering strong competition it has from SOS and its average music

    It cannot break any records as the movie is neither comedy nor action but a love and emotional one with elements of sadness.

    jthj wont cross RR.extended first week around 90 nd 2nd week about 30cr.then talaash release wont let it collect any further.regarding boi tactics of downplaying salmans success its nothing new.they have changed verdicts for many salman films.no entry was initially given blockbuster now downgraded to superhit.hssh was superhit earlier now its givena hit tag.akkis garam masala was initially given hit now its avg.media has tried every trick in the book to downgrade salman be it electronic or print media.but as salman says jiska media nahi hota hai uske fans hote hain.and salman has blessings of millions of fans.koi kuch nahi bigaad paya naa kabhi bigad paayega.

      SOS clash Ok but you have to also see after that there are MORE THAN 2 OPEN WEEKS .17FREE DAYS after their release so none of the films will have any problem whatsoever for doing Blockbuster business if they are good enough.
      And Jthj should easily cross that Rowdy Rathore collections.

    Rubbish reasons by BOI – only valid reason is no of prints for comparing opening performance

    ETT made what 10M overseas and 190 in India?
    Thats 254 cr

    My JTHJ prediction (how can i not make one ;-) )
    150-170 cr in India
    15-22M overseas

    So thats a range of 231cr to 280.8cr – I am going with 235cr so just a little less than ETT

    Does Salman has any non-action genre film in the pipeline?
    Only with such a movie, we can correctly ivaluate Salman’s current popularity. Since almost all action films with big stars getting good initial and life time business.

    • Like or Dislike: Thumb up 2 Thumb down 1

      Lol good initial and good lifetime business is one thing but constantly breaking and making records back to back is another thing.

      BODYGUARD had opened with 21crores when highest was 14crores by Dabangg and when agneepath broke it by one or two crore again Salman broke it by way 10crores more 31crores with ek tha tiger

      other films like Rowdy Rathore didn’t had more than 12-13crores opening

      Same goes for lifetime business salman films BG or Ek tha tiger are always way ahead than other highest grossers of the subsequet year.

      And just like Ready which was not an action film.,No entry 2 is upcoming comedy film of salman.
