Salman Khan’s Tiger 3 Box Office Collection, Day 1: Tiger 3 is already setting some benchmarks at the box office. On Sunday, the Salman Khan–Katrina Kaif actioner opened to excellent numbers despite Laxmi Puja day, considered to be dull at the box office as people are busy with Diwali festivities. According to YRF, Tiger 3’s all-India box office collection stood at Rs 52.50 crore GBOC. Overseas, the film earned Rs 41.50 crore GBOC. The film’s total worldwide collection stands at Rs 94 crore.

Tiger 3 opening day numbers are already the highest ever collections recorded on Diwali day for any Hindi film. The current record for aggregated total for Diwali day is Rs 22 crore, which was the combined collection of Shah Rukh Khan’s Jab Tak Hai Jaan (Rs 12.60 crore on day one) and Ajay Devgn’s Son Of Sardaar (Rs 9.30 crore on day one), the two films that clashed in 2012.

Hrithik Roshan’s Krrish 3 previously held the record for the highest Diwali day collection by a single movie. The superhero film netted Rs 15 crore on Diwali day, which was the film’s third day.

Tiger 3 is also the biggest opener for Salman Khan, as his last best was Bharat, which did Rs 42.30 crore on opening day on Eid, a national holiday.

The opening of Tiger 3, however, is not near the two Shah Rukh Khan openers this year — Pathaan (Rs 57 crore) and Jawan (Rs 75 crore) but with a record-breaking start at the box office despite a weak day, Tiger 3 has now set itself up to enjoy the long Diwali holiday run.

The trade is expecting the film to score more than Rs 120 crore on Monday and Tuesday, and are hoping that the film would record a three-day total in the north of Rs 165 crore.

The third installment of the hugely successful franchise, Tiger 3 also stars Katrina Kaif and sees Emran Hashmi as an antagonist. The actioner is part of Yash Raj Films’ spy-universe, which also features Hrithik Roshan’s War and superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan.
