20 November 2023, Mumbai: Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif starrer, Tiger 3, has completed its first week at the box office, amassing a total of 217.50 crores. Despite achieving Salman Khan’s highest one-week total in his career, surpassing the Tiger franchise’s previous installments, the film falls short in comparison to other Spy Universe films, securing the third spot. The gap is significant, with Tiger 3 trailing behind Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan by over 100 crores.
Pathaan Dominates with a Massive 330.25 Crores
In the fiercely competitive Spy Universe, Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan emerges as the undisputed leader, raking in a colossal 330.25 crores in just one week. This places Pathaan at the summit, enjoying a substantial lead over Tiger 3 and even outpacing Hrithik Roshan’s War, which secured the second position with a total of 224.75 crores during its first week, despite an extended period.
Tiger 3 Faces Challenges and World Cup Impact
While Tiger 3 had a promising start with a one-week total of 217.50 crores, it faced challenges during the weekdays, leading to a decline in its box office numbers. The film’s performance is attributed to various factors, including the allure of the Cricket World Cup matches. Salman Khan himself acknowledged that the post-World Cup period might witness a resurgence in audience attendance, offering hope for a potential box office rebound.

The individual day-wise breakdown illustrates the stark differences in performance, with Tiger 3 closely following War but significantly lagging behind the dominating figures of Pathaan.
Future Prospects for Tiger 3 Post-World Cup
As Tiger 3 stands around 3% behind War, there is anticipation regarding its performance in the post-World Cup period. The film’s fate hinges on its ability to attract audiences once the cricketing extravaganza concludes.
