Race 3 Box Office Week 1: Comparing Salman Khan With Shah Rukh Khan And Aamir Khan

Salman Khan’s much-awaited Eid release Race 3 is out and opened to a smashing weekend. In just three days the action thriller collected a massive 106.47 crores. Although the movie slackened its pace on weekdays and led to a not too impressive Week 1 total. Race 3 is expected to score a modest 145 crores* in its first week at the box office.

Comparing this Salman Khan film with Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan’s highest Week 1 grossers, Aamir Khan is the clear winner with 2016’s Dangal bringing in a massive 197.54 crores. This is followed by Mr. Perfectionist’s PK which released in 2014 and collected 182.39 crores in its first week.

Shah Rukh Khan’s highest week 1 grossing movie Happy New Year earned a decent 157.50 crores. Coming in close to that is Deepika Padukone starrer Chennai Express which brought in 156.60 crores in just seven days since its release.
