As some fans cheer and whistle at the spectacle, others move away from the embers and burning crackers. Another video from another theatre shows much of the same thing – fans bursting crackers on Salman’s entry in the film. Not just in Malegaon, Salman Khan's fans set off rockets and burst firecrackers in many other theatres across the country. Tiger 3 witnessed the biggest Bollywood opening during Diwali. According to Sacnilk's early estimates, the film grossed a whopping Rs 40 crore on Day 1 and earned Rs 44.50 crore on its opening day. The film saw an overall occupancy of 41.32 per cent and the highest occupancy rate was recorded at 46.18 per cent during night shows. On the other hand, Salman Khan's film failed to cross Shah Rukh Khan Pathaan's Day 1 collection. For those unversed, Pathaan revived Bollywood after multiple failures at the box office. On its opening day, Pathaan had crossed Rs 55 crore and the film emerged as the first Hindi film to cross Rs 100 core globally.
