The Thursday drop was bigger than I thought it would be. Looks like now EG will stall at about Rs. 365 Crores Nett. I was hoping for Rs. 400 crore+

Its perfectly normal. Bit better even.

Nope.

 

IW dropped 42% on May 2nd. So it is neither normal or better even though EG has bigger numbers than IW. But again EG WOM is better than IW and I was hoping for a better hold. 

 

Still the performance is incredible.

A 42% drop on 6th day and 7th day are two different things. The spillover affect reduces with each day.

The drop for EG is higher at 45% and the percentage hold of Thursday vs opening Friday is worse for EG. That eliminates the day to day variations. Even with ridiculously bigger craze and better wom, EG legs are slightly worse albeit with much bigger numbers. Anyway, the drop is slightly worse than normal. The Friday to Thursday drop highlights the fact.

₹15cr/$2.2mn GROSS Friday. -20% Thursday. Cume ₹325.5cr/$46.7mn.

Hollywood tentpoles releasing in December should delay their release to the first weekend of January. Its now common for two big bollywood movies to release near the christmas period.

Mid December is better IMO. Get one open week and then counter-program during the Christmas-New Year period.
