Sultan has created history in advance sales by taking in sales worth 22-23 crore nett apprx. Prem Ratan Dhan Payo had set records last year with around 15 crore nett in pre release sales. This is the highest amount ever collected pre release and the highest number in ticket solds pre release. Obviously in terms of percentage of tickets sold against the total it is not simply because of the huge number of tickets available.. 

The figure is a huge 50% above Prem Ratan Dhan Payo though some of this will be because there are more holidays in the weekend for Sultan then there were for Prem Ratan Dhan Payo and its five day period against for a four day period. But on the other side Prem Ratran Dhan Payo had a longer period for the advance due to it releasing one day later than Sultan.

The advance of Sultan is higher than Prem Ratan Dhan Payo in totality and also for the first day which probably means the opening day record of 39.16 crore nett is going to fall and the question by tomorrow evening should be by how much. The bonus will be the benchmark of 40 crore nett is toppled.
