Actually Pre Sales started few days ago, and we have absolutely no comos got this because Pre Sales of movies start in India 5-7 days before.

 

This opening of Pre Sales 1-2 months before is very new and only few movies have done that.People don't book here that much in advance, we will start to find out more after 10.

I don't think ticket prices are abnormal. Seems about normal to me.

It is in both indian theaters and disney's interests for the film to play, so it will most likely play. One of the two sides will fold.

So indeed.

Yep. Media pressure just to work something out, pretty predictable outcome tbh.

Right now feels like 100 would be max, basically depends on how big North can go. South will be making big gains over Endgame, if North matches Endgame it will be around 90cr. If it make like 20% gain, then can hit 100cr.

 

This is the projected South, IW are actuals. All others are estimates.

 

	A:EG	NWH	A:IW	A2
MUM	14.00	7.90	8.61
DUP	9.25	5.30	5.96
EP	4.30	2.00	2.70
Rest	10.00	5.00	5.50
TN	5.20	3.50	3.00	7.00
APTS	4.50	4.60	2.20	15.00
Kerala	1.30	1.40	0.88	4.00
Mysore	5.00	3.00	2.48	10.00
	53.55	32.70	31.33	36.00

My apologies.

I got myself listening to some projections from trade guy, looked closely to numbers myself today. More probable projections would be.

 

	A:EG	NWH	A:IW	A2
MUM	14.50	7.50	8.61
DUP	9.10	5.30	5.96
EP	4.00	2.10	2.70
Rest	10.00	5.30	5.50
TN	5.20	3.50	3.00	5.50
APTS	4.60	5.00	2.20	8.00
Kerala	1.30	1.30	0.88	2.50
Mysore	4.80	2.70	2.48	5.00
	53.50	32.70	31.33	21.00

 

EG did 37cr in North India while NWH did 20.5cr. A2 can do 30-35cr I feel. That will give 50-60cr NETT opening day aka ₹60-75cr GROSS.

"Pre-sales in India generally start just a couple of days before release, it was only this year we saw some Hollywood films jumping the start early by weeks. Even with the early start, the majority of sales still come in the final days leading to release. There aren’t a lot many titles to compare the film with but among those which opened the bookings earlier than usual, Avatar 2 is well ahead of all but Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, with both having similar sales at the same time."

People know that Pathaan is coming, now it's upto production house to make people interested.

 

Some material related to movies will release on 11th December and then from 16th, there will be songs.

 

Only afer then we can say anything.

@charlie Jatinder how much do you think A2 will do in india? can it beat endgame's lifetime and opening weekend?

[ZeeSoh]

Ticket prices (at least for IMAX and PLF's) for OW is similar to NWH in my city at least. The most expensive ticket in my city is at the closest IMAX to me at PVR around 21.24 USD which is insane. But that is only for a handful of recliner seats at the very back. Most of the middle seats range from 8 USD to 12.4 USD for OW IMAX. That is still higher than what is normal for many other movies (except for event movies like NWH, MOM and TL&T)

It should win lifetime, opening day may be a bit tough.
