18 November 2023, Mumbai: Salman Khan’s latest Blockbuster, Tiger 3, continues its triumphant journey at the Indian box office, showcasing a remarkable surge in advance bookings for its seventh day. Directed by Maneesh Sharma, this espionage thriller, featuring Khan as Avinash Singh Rathore (Tiger) and Katrina Kaif as Zoya, has captivated audiences despite mixed critical responses. Emraan Hashmi’s inclusion as the antagonist adds an intriguing layer to the narrative.
Tiger 3 Surpassing Milestones
Tiger 3, the third installment in the Tiger franchise, has etched its name as a box office phenomenon, crossing the 200-crore net mark. While comparisons with recent blockbusters like Pathaan, Gadar 2, and Jawan may reveal a relative difference, Tiger 3’s individual success stands out. The film’s resilience and appeal to audiences are evident in its consistent box office performance.
Advance Booking Triumph: Day 7’s Meteoric Rise Of Tiger 3
Despite a slight drop in advance bookings on the previous day, Tiger 3 has catapulted with a remarkable 128.57% growth in advance ticket sales for day 7. Accumulating an impressive 4 crores gross (excluding blocked seats), the film’s advance ticket sales surpassed 1.60 lakh, showcasing its enduring popularity. This surge aligns with Salman Khan’s iconic dialogue, “Jab tak Tiger mara nahi, tab tak Tiger haara nahi.”
Tiger 3’s First Weekend Dynamics
Entering the weekend zone, Tiger 3 is poised to reap the benefits of a blockbuster Saturday. As the film completes its first week, the true litmus test unfolds during this weekend. With strong responses anticipated, especially in mass centers, Tiger 3 aims to maintain its stellar performance. The looming challenge, however, lies in the impact of the India vs Australia World Cup final scheduled for the following day, potentially affecting box office numbers.
Navigating Challenges Ahead
Aware of the impending cricket spectacle that might dent its numbers, Tiger 3 strategically focuses on maximizing earnings on this crucial Saturday. The film’s success in single-screen theaters and non-national chain cinemas adds another layer to its triumph, making day 7 a potential blockbuster Saturday. While challenges loom post-afternoon tomorrow, today presents the optimal opportunity for Tiger 3 to secure its box office dominance before navigating anticipated drops in the upcoming weekdays.
