Dhoom 3 Second Monday Business
31st December 2013

Dhoom 3 grossed around 6 crore nett on Monday taking its total gross to around 217 crore nett in Hindi. The film will set a new second week record with a nett gross in the 60-65 crore nett region. Three Idiots was 56 crore nett.

The film will have steady collections on Tuesday and good jump on Wednesday for New Years day. The collections will slow down after New Years Day as that is the trend post the New Year.

Its difficult to put a number on the lifetime business of the film so early as the film still as some steam left but the range is looking 265-275 crore nett for lifetime business.

In Toronto, both screens are continuing showing in I-Max in week three (rare happening even for Big Hollywood films). Hopefully, I'll be able to catch it in I-Max and tell you here, if I found any improvement in the presentation.

Surprises me to notice that the non I-Max shows sold out before I-Max shows ?? It's $ 12 vs $ 15 and people would rather save $ 3 ??

Dhoom 3 Grosses 235 Crore Nett In 13 Days
2nd January 2014

Dhoom 3 has now grossed 235 crore nett in thirteen days* as it showed a good jump on New Years Day due to the holiday. The collections on Wednesday were around 10.50 crore nett.

The film is now the top grosser in all circuits except Mumbai. In Mumbai it has grossed around 70-71 crore nett with the 3 Idiots record at 79 crore nett. In Delhi/UP it will be the first film to go over 50 crore nett while in East Punjab it has already become the first film to cross 20 crore nett and will also breach the 25 crore nett mark in the long run. The previous best was 17 crore nett of Ek Tha Tiger.

Dhoom 3 At 258 Crore After Three Weeks
10th January 2013

Dhoom 3 grossed around 19.50 crore nett in its third week taking its three week business to around 258 crore nett*. The film is probably looking at a 270 crore nett finish with a phenomenal distributor share of around 145-150 crore.

The film is the most expensive Hindi film ever made but it will the first film in history to have a recovery of over 300 crore from all revenue sources. The film has hit new benchmarks in most circuits with upto 40% more business than the previous record holder in some circuits.

The only circuit that may struggle to hit a new record is Mumbai and it could be the only circuit worldwide where Dhoom 3 does not put up a new record. It will be an unusual scenario that the film smashes all records left right and centre by huge gaps but falls a little short in the biggest circuit of them all.

It seems to me that Aamir does yashraj films for the big financial gain to himself, seeing as he's been in some record breaking films at the box office for the past 6 years. Yashraj evidently is captializing on his star power, clearly both Aamir and yashraj are a mutual gain to eachother. On a more artistic term and seemingly the opportunity cost of doing an out and out commercial film, Dhoom 3 is not only the worst film I've seen from 2013, it's Aamir's worst film since Fanaa. Not to mention, this is Aamir Khan's most embarrassingly objectionable performance I've seen from him in a long time. To a degree, I don't think Khan can entirely be blamed for this, the film has the "yashraj" norm all over it. Aamir Khan, being the centerfold of it all, seems to have just let loose and allowed the banner take over his image.
