Salman Khan, Emraan Hashmi, and Katrina Kaif's latest release, Tiger 3, initially set the box office on fire, becoming Salman Khan's highest opener.
The film raked in an impressive 103.75 crores in its first two days. However, as Govardhan Pooja ushered in a partial holiday, expectations were high for further box office records to be shattered.
Contrary to expectations, Tiger 3 experienced an unexpected drop on its third day, with early trends indicating a collection in the range of 39-41 crores. This marks a 34-30% decline compared to the previous day's earnings.
The film, which received mixed reviews, faces a critical juncture as it navigates the post-festive season and normal working days.
Govardhan Pooja, traditionally a blessing for Diwali releases, did not follow the usual trend for Tiger 3. The film now stands at a pivotal moment, with the challenge of maintaining momentum at the ticket windows.
With Bhai Dooj marking the end of the festive season, the coming days will determine the fate of Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Emraan Hashmi, and the entire team.
Despite minimal competition at the box office, the film's unusual trend raises questions about its future performance.
As the action thriller celebrates entering the 100 crore club, Salman Khan solidifies his status as the reigning superstar with the highest number of 100-crore films.
Additionally, Katrina Kaif joins an elite group, standing alongside Deepika Padukone, with nine films crossing the coveted 100-crore mark in her career.
The coming days will unveil whether Tiger 3 can sustain its box office success and where it will stand in its lifetime run.
