Opening day collections of a non-festive holiday or non-holiday release IS. Sallu's box-office pull = Jai Ho, SRK's box-office pull = FAN.

Festive holiday collections due to bullying and monopoly only...

Karan Johar and Ekta Kapoor were among the producers present at Aamir Khan's residence on Friday to discuss the issue of online leaks of new releases.

In particular, the issue of Great Grand Masti, being preponed from July 22 to July 15 due to online leaks, came up. With Sultan having a three-week contract with theatre chains all over India, theatre availability for GGM at such short notice, would be a matter of concern.

IMO several factors like starpower, trailer, music, genre, release size, ticket prices. But holidays have an unfair advantage as Salman himself admitted after Jai Ho flopped. Thats why films like HNY, PRDP, Sultan all opened well despite bad trailers. And thats the reason after Jai Ho flopped he hasnt dared to come without a holiday. He better bully people out of holidays than come on a regular weekend.

"I think the release time of January (was not good) that time schools start, everyone is just out from holiday mood. And our ticket prices were Rs 250 on weekends and even lower on week days which I think was the big mistake but we did this for our fans. Eventually it is Rs 126 crore ka flop which is fine," he said.

In 2012, Salman had 'Ek Tha Tiger' that hit the theatres during Eid. But next year (2013) he had no release during that time. This year too his upcoming film 'Kick' has been locked for Eid release.

"We were not ready for Eid release last year. Eid is a good day, Diwali and Christmas or public holidays are all chilled out period. Any festive season is the best time to come out as you have that many number of holidays and also it can accommodate more than one movie at a time," Salman said.

"The holiday period makes a huge difference to the collection of a film. People are busy with their own lives so much today that they get time to see movies on holiday," he said.

And they claim small movies released a week after these impotent Khans' flop hence no PH dare to release their movie a week after these impos.

How did MBKD become a hit which released 9-10 days after Bodyguard? That was a big slap on Sallu Mian's face.. Fear of getting slapped by a chhote mote movie has pushed the impo Khans to bully the exhibitors and now they are enjoying the perks of monopoly.

If it's not a holiday, then yes. Who else will watch a movie on a weekday except for fans and college students.

How come they went to Aamir and what is Aamir's reason for helping out GGM makers? Increasing competition for Sultan so it doesn't cross PK?

Dont believe this. This came from resident bull shitter SK Jha who probably hallucinated the whole thing yesterday. 😆

SRK in recent times got two open weeks only for HNY. Rest of his films were either clashes or had a week or less open days. Salman usually gets two open weeks and Aamir gets three or even four open weeks.
