The document summarizes an article from The Economic Times about box office collections for the movies Dabangg and 3 Idiots. It states that while Dabangg surpassed 3 Idiots' opening weekend collections in India, it may not be able to match 3 Idiots' total first week earnings of 180 crore worldwide due to 3 Idiots' longer run time allowing more screenings. Experts believe Dabangg will earn around 155 crore worldwide in its first week.
