SLB is smart filmmaker, he knows hype of clash of Titan would help the movie more.Same happened in SOS case.
It has created very good buzz.
In BM it is SLB+Deepika+Ranveer hit Jodi also Priyanka in it.YouTube views prove it.
In CE time SRK thanked Jitender for convincing Ekta to delay OUTIDM(SRK did request to Jitender).
Clash of big movie create anxiety, buzz.Both SRK and Ekta knew that.That's why Ekta wanted to take benefit by releasing her movie with CE.Huge clash affect weaker movies more.OUTIMD was flop but it could have earned little more if clash happened and CE could have earned less than it did.
So clash helps more to weaker movie.Don't know which movie is weaker.
I doubt it is rumor.Dono hi piche hatna nahin chahenge.
I would believe if the gap is 2/3 week but 1 week gap no.So delay can't be 1 week.
