Though the movie did well in its second week, it couldn’t match up 3 Idiots which had a record second week of Rs 56 crore approx. As per reports the coming weekday business should add another Rs 5-6 crore as there is no competition for Dabangg. The movie’s box office earnings are likely to touch Rs 132-133 crore after three weeks. Dabangg also gave Salman his third all-time blockbuster after Maine Pyar Kiya and Hum Aapke Hain Kaun.

However, the fourth weekend will come as a challenge for the film, as Anjaana Anjaani and Endhiran (Robot) both are releasing on October 1.What comes as a disappointment for the makers is Dabangg’s satellite revenue.

The satellite rights of the movie are already sold for around Rs 10 crore but seeing its fantastic success at the BO the rights could have been worth Rs 30-35 crore, if not more.

Salman Khan's Dabangg is a big hit movie in Pakistan: With the ban on Indian film, which was implemented in Pakistan for the period of Eid to promote their domestic film industry, being lifted, movie buffs are making a beeline to theatres in Pakistani cities once again, thanks to Indian star Salman Khan’s box office hit Dabangg.

The movie released in Pakistan on September 17 and has been running very successfully.

According to trade reports, cinemas in the city of Lahore witnessed at least 70 percent occupancy as the family crowd returned to theatres despite the fact that Dabangg’s tickets were priced almost twice as that of Pakistani films.

Salman Khan has a very loyal fan following in Pakistan and it’s no surprise that footfalls in theatres have increased with the release of Dabangg, co-starring newcomer Sonakshi Sinha.
