Pathaan Third Thursday Early Estimates
Mumbai, February 9 - Pathaan is continuing with its steady run at the box office as the early estimate collections suggest 5.50-6 crores net on its third Thursday which is around a 10-12% drop from yesterday's collections. Even yesterday the film had shown a similar drop.## The third Thursday collections will take the total collections of Pathaan to around 459cr net box office mark as per early estimates. Pathaan has another free week and the first sign of competition will arrive the next week with Shehzada. Overall the job has been done and Pathaan has emerged as one of the biggest box-office hits of the last 15 years. ## The overseas numbers are never seen before as the film is heading for close to the 50 million mark. The previous best were Dangal, Padmaavat, Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Dhoom3 all of them were in the 28-30 million range. The overseas record will stay for some years unless another Shah Rukh Khan starrer gets huge appreciation there which is possible with Dunki which is directed by Raj Kumar Hirani. Also, the release date is better than Pathaan as Xmas is the best period for overseas business. ## The overseas numbers helped Pathaan to put a massive worldwide collection where it has beaten every film in the Hindi film industry in the first phase. When the run of Pathaan will end it will be among the greatest worldwide grossers along with Dangal, Bahubali: The Conclusion, KGF2, RRR, and Bajrangi Bhaijaan.## Stay tuned...
