BOI Predicts:

Which film will open better? 2.0 or Zero and how many screens will they release on?.

A. That is difficult to tell as both will be in that 25 crore nett plus range. 30 crore nett will be the target for both but will be tough as Zero is not the killer initial type of film from the trailer even though it has Shahrukh Khan. 2.0 (Hindi) is a huge initial film but will have 12% business missing due to regional versions and on top most of the film is dubbed in Tamil with only Akshay Kumar speaking most of his lines in Hindi which will be dubbed in the Tamil version. If that South business was not missing for 2.0 (Hindi) then you would give the edge to 2.0 but now either can have the higher first day. The screen issue is not that important for Zero as its about getting that 45-50 crore capacity at the 900 multiplexes like Thugs of Hindustan. Then it will have the good collecting single screens, it does not matter if it does not go down to the Nampur's, Neera's, Nawabganj's or Nagina's of the country. 2500 multiplex screens and 1500 single screens will do nicely for Zero. The other 600-800 single screens will have very limited collections. 2.0 can do with a 5000 screen release but places like Nagarkurnool or Narsapur in Andhra or Nagarthpet in Mysore will not release the Hindi versions while a film like Race 3 releases in these places and gets decent collections also. The Hindi version can go to a little over 4000 screens on a best case scenario.

I think even Simmba is in competition. Rohit Shetty has given huge openings in Chennai Express and Singham 2. He knows what his audience expects from him. Golmaal 2 is the most succesful Diwali release. Rohit can give them a run for their money on Simba's first sunday.

Chennai Express = SRK

Singham 2 = Sequel

Golmaal 2/3/4 = Franchise

Also masala movies are usually frontloaded and depends on lead actor's stardom. Simmba is an acid test for Ranveer.
