Salman Khan’s latest release Sultan has recorded third highest opening day ever. The film has beaten films like Dhoom 3, Chennai Express and Ek Tha Tiger.
The highest opening day record is still safe. However, Sultan was released on pre-Eid. Though it was a partial holiday but the Muslim audience remain away from theaters. So in real terms, Sultan could have challenged highest opening day if it was released on Eid.

It could have been in the 1st or 2nd place if it would jave released on Eid Day! But still it is a very good for a Pre-Eid release! My prediction:
Day 1- 36.54cr
Day 2- 40.5cr
Day 3- 26cr
Day 4- 27cr
Day 5- 30cr
Five day weekend- 160cr!
First Week- 190cr
Second Week- 48cr
Third Week- 21cr
Fourth Week- 9cr
Remaining Weeks- 6cr
Lifetime 274cr!
