No stopping Salman Khan’s Dabangg at box office

No stopping Salman Khan’s <i>Dabangg</i> at box office

Single screen theatres are witnessing a phenomenon right now; Salman Khan’s film Dabangg is going great guns in its third week. The movie has grossed around Rs 10.75 crore nett over its third weekend, and it collected Rs 35-36 crore approx from its second week. Now its total seventeen-day business is Rs 127 crore approx.

Though the movie did well in its second week, it couldn’t match up 3 Idiots which had a record second week of Rs 56 crore approx. As per reports the coming weekday business should add another Rs 5-6 crore as there is no competition for Dabangg. The movie’s box office earnings are likely to touch Rs 132-133 crore after three weeks. Dabangg also gave Salman his third all-time blockbuster after Maine Pyar Kiya and Hum Aapke Hain Kaun.

However, the fourth weekend will come as a challenge for the film, as Anjaana Anjaani and Endhiran (Robot) both are releasing on October 1.What comes as a disappointment for the makers is Dabangg’s satellite revenue.

The satellite rights of the movie are already sold for around Rs 10 crore but seeing its fantastic success at the BO the rights could have been worth Rs 30-35 crore, if not more.
