On the other hand, other international and domestic releases have not fared so well at the local box office.

Finding Dory, and the Pakistani heist-film Sawaal 700 Crore Dollar Ka, saw a decline in their numbers as Sultan’s numbers were the talk of the town over the past five days.

Finding Dory was shown in only 15 cinemas with its box office collections amounting to Rs 3 million after the first two days. While Sawaal 700 Crore Dollar Ka, earned just Rs 3 million and is expected to be taken down from cinemas right after Eid with distributors citing low-turnout and underwhelming audience response as a major factor.

At the Bollywood box office, the estimates predict that the film has earned INR 39 crores on Sunday taking the movie closer to a mark ofINR 200 crores.

Following the trend, Sultan movie is sure to cross the 200 crore mark in a week’s time.
