Ek Tha Tiger is set to have the highest distributor share of all time and become the first film to cross the 100 crore mark in terms of theatrical revenue from India alone. Three Idiots released in 2009 was just a few a crore short of the century mark but it looks comfortable for Ek Tha Tiger unless second weekend sees a larger than expected drop.
The collections on Wednesday have held up well for the film, there were circuits that had big drops as they were coming out of a holiday period, the circuits which had less of an Eid impact were steady. The record collection for a Wednesday is Three Idiots which collected around 8 crore nett without Mysore and seems like Ek Tha Tiger will beat that figure and possibly by a margin as the film still runs riot at places.
The second weeeknd will determine if it can get close the 200 crore nett figure of Three Idiots.

Ek Tha Tiger Has Record Wednesday
Ek Tha Tiger collected record numbers on Wednesday beating the numbers of Three Idiots. It had set records on many of the previous days also but that was all in the holiday period. Wednesday was the first day after the holiday period and bit like the Monday for normal Friday releases.
The Wednesday number should come in around 9 crore nett which is phenomenal. The film is being driven by business in mass pockets, UP is simply earth shattering and helped the Delhi/UP circuit to over 2 crore nett collections even though collections in Delhi city have come down from there high levels.
The central belts are also very strong though there were larger drops in parts of the Mumbai and South Indian circuits. Overall the film is looking set for a good run over the next few weeks.
