Biggest Openings 2018 - BOI

Simbaa had the ninth best opening of the year and the morning shows in terms of occupancy were in between a 2.0 and Zero but like Zero the capacity is much higher than 2.0 due to ticket rates so the potential of business is much higher.

Last week Zero failed to beat the first day number pof 2.) when it looked it should as it far higher capacities but the reports probably hit that film. Its a repeat for Simbaa as though occupancy is a little lower than 2.0 the fact that it has higher ticket rates and capacity it should be able to go past 2.0.
