What Is The Reponse To Ek Tha Tiger Promo and Will It Break All Opening Day Records? -BOI


Q. Which filmwas the biggest hit of late Feroz Khan as an actor?
A. Qurbani by a distance.
Mohan Sharma

Q. What is response to Ek Tha Tiger promo and will it break opening day records?
A. Response is outstanding but there is no official release date yet so too early to talk about records. Whichever day it comes on Wednesday or Friday they both fall in Ramadan so records may be tough. It might have a chance on Wednesday as it is Independence day but even still business will be hit in UP, Bihar, Gujarat, Nizam etc where there is heavy muslim population.
A Hazra
Q. What were the budgets of Ishaqzaade and Dangerous Ishq?
A. Ishaqzaade around 8-9 crore and Dangerous Ishq around 16-18 crore.
R Pal

Q. Why do you say Department will not open because it is an action film with big stars?
A. The promos are dull and the main stars don’t open at the box office today.

    boxofficeindia.com is a good site but sometimes they are being very safe in
    predecting the opening of big fims.i will give one exampl.before the release
    of dabangg boxofficeindia said that if dabanng is releasing before inside ramadan,then 3 idiots opening day record would be safe.but dabangg released before eid and still comfortably broke 3 idiots opening record.the craze for ek tha tiger is atleast 20 times more than dabangg.even if he film is releasing inside ramzan thecollections would be extraordinary.infact some people are saying that if ett’s advance booking starts even now.there are many who will buy the tickets right now.the buzz for the film is unbelievable.it will braek every opening record but content will decide how far ett can go.but looking at salman form at box office recently,even content is insignificant.boxofficeindia will change thier thougts when ett’s relesase date is confirmd.

    i think even BOI cant estimate the impact of ramadan on ETT……because it’s hard to predict if it will really have a impact on big release like ETT………..

  3. Hot debate. What do you think? Thumb up 5 Thumb down 4

    15 aug is a national holiday and muslims are a minority in india not majority…it can easily do 25 cr

    muslims constitute about 20% of indias population.but to say opening will also abe affected by 20% is wrong because muslims constitute almost 40% of footfall for salmans films.thats what i assume from experiences in theatres.so its difficult to predict a opening for ETT because ett is looking like a pan indian film which will transect all barriers like religion,region,class.if that happens opening will be HUGE irrespective of when it releases.

    i will go with BOI here ramadan has an effect but we are talking about minority not majorty like tashaan said and also the number of scree will play an important role .Agneepath break record with less screen so ETT with biggest number of scree ever can collect more and more .

    1) I won’t be able to watch it until the day Ramadan ends here in England which I’m guessing will either be the 19th or 20th. 

    2) The buzz is more than even Dabangg after the latters trailer. 

    3) All records will be smashed. I have people around me talking about it and having more confidence than me (yep even I can’t believe it) 

    P. S hoping there are preview shows for TDKR on the 19th July as I don’t wish to miss it :D

    actuallu just think that muslim is watching ett on opening day.ett will release atleast with 3500 prints in india.now looking at the craze say just 70% of the cinema halls are occupied on opening day.even 70% occupency is enough with 3500 prints to get around 22 crores on opening day.even non salman audeince is eager to watch ett.when dabangg released before eid many muslim fans watched dabangg in evening and night shows after roza.ett will break opening record for sure.

    Ramadan or no Ramadan, this film is going to smash all BO records for continuously 15 days (on day to day basis) !! 19th or 20th Aug. are going to be Huge (due to repeat view and 1st day after eid)!

    @topShot – Let me try to answer the question u asked to @Navid. There is no hard and fast rule that u cannot watch a movie during Ramadan month. One can watch the movies once all the prayers during the day are over. The last prayer (called Tarabi/Taravi) gets over by 10 – 10.30 PM. This is an additional prayer (other than 5 compulsory prayers during the day) where whole Holy Quran is completed by 26th of Ramadan. After this prayer, one can go for movie or any thing like shopping etc. But 95 % of the people have their dinner after this prayer and then they prepare themselves for next fast, which starts before dawn next day. Hence there is hardly any time for any such activity.

    Secondly (and very importantly), apart from the remaining year, this month is for prayers, purity of mind and soul, total submission to Almighty God. If in such a time, one go for movies the whole purpose gets defeated because of mind diversion (after looking at Mallika Sherawat or Sheela ki jawani type acts).

    Hence, one keep himself busy with fasting, praying and reading Holy Quran during this month. It is same like any other fasting in different religions.

    Though I must add here that best of the TV programs in Saudi Arabia are televised during Ramadan month only, but those are not movies, still very interesting. As it is the movies which they show are mostly war movies without any heroine.

    On the contrary, in Iran, it is just opposite to Saudi Arabia. Absolutely no entertainment during this month.

    I think I have thrown some light as answer to ur question.

    @TopShot – Ceratinly it will effect ETT to some extent till Ramadan month last. The day of eid would be the huge for ett from noon shows when the people will be free and enjoy the festival along with ett.

    So it means business lost during ramadan will be compensated during eid.. and if content is good then it will be a Tsunami at box office…

    ETT has everything going for it to become the biggest hit in Salman’s career and challenge 3I.

    @TopShot, @ Naveed – Forget 3I. Just wait and see, in 1st 10 days of its release, 3I will be forgotten (as far as the records are concerned). The reports about the film I am getting from members of the team is just beyond any imaginations. Let the trailer gets released and then the music !!!! Highly stylized and technically very sound. Have no doubt about the contents ! As far as Salman is concerned, world have seen the glimpses of him in the teaser and u know the reaction.

    Opening Day record is now not a big deal at least for salman fans… we have tasted it twice in recent times (Dabangg n Bodyguard). What I now want is trending and appreciation like 3I(more or less!) and better than our own Dabangg …

    Fasel always appreciate balanced fans like Naved & you.

    No use reacting to hyper fans who do more harm then good to their fav, for their 2-minutes of fame.

    Thanks Tango. NG has just been a mess for the past few weeks. We have her aira ghaira coming up with their own analysis manipulating the numbers so their fav star can look good. I can’t wait to see Tusshar Kapoor come up with 2 BB’s and people crown him the King of Bollywood :)

    May be a few years down the line these boys will laugh at these things themselves :-)

    Don’t you remember how at one point of time the whole NG got ganged up against poor Abhishek for no fault of his? The reason is well known.

    I don’t see that negativity against Abhishek here anymore.
