Dhoom 3: Day 1 Collections | Breaks all opening day records including Chennai Express & Krrish 3

Dhoom 3 Opens To Packed Houses At The Box Office

FINALLY the year’s much talked about film and the much awaited Dhoom franchise’s 3rd installment has released worldwide yesterday. As expected, Dhoom 3 is running to packed houses across the country.

As per early morning reports, this Aamir Khan starrer has witnessed an occupancy of around 90%-95% in majority of the cinema houses, while some key circuit’s theatres are also seeing as good as 100%occupancy.

Dhoom 3 is best performing in Mumbai, Pune, Delhi-UP, Mysore, Kolkata, Bangalore and Punjab.

Contrary to the belief that the film will remain only palatable to the multiplex audiences, it garnered wonderful response from the single screens too.

The film on its first day has managed to collect approximately 32 crores from its Hindi shows alone. Since the film released in Tamil and Telugu as well separately, the film earned another 4 crores from the vernacular releases. With that the film, as per early estimates, has on its opening day raked a stupendous sum of 36 crores at the domestic box office.

It is quite a commendable start as the film, being a non-holiday release, managed to beat Chennai Express‘ opening day record (which saw an Eid release). Chennai Express had so far held the record of highest opening day collections (33.10 crs) and with Dhoom 3‘s release, this film claimed its record.

Reports suggests that the film’s Telegu version is faring better than Tamil but in most mass based circuits, the film is determined to remain stellar with the chance of beating Chennai Express‘ record of fastest 100 crore.

Well, not just that, but as per early reports this Aamir Khan starrer has high  chances to create history by registering the highest box office collections ever on a single day, beating Krrish 3‘s record (35.91 crs).

Considering the phenomenal pre-release hype, increased price rates (which is almost equal to Chennai Express), ample number of shows in multiplexes, Dhoom 3 looks certain to collect in the range 29 crores-30 crores at the Domestic Box Office, unless the business witnesses a major drop towards the day end.
