The common factor amongst the big grossers over the past few years has been open weeks and limited competition. It is a fact that the four biggest grossers today Three Idiots, Dabangg, Ready and Ghajini have all had three open weeks and films which come next like Golmaal 3 and Raajneeti did not have as much of a clear run. Singham which will ends it run in 6th or 7th position has also had three open weeks.

Bodyguard will be expected to be amongst the above top four films but does not have the advantage of open weeks. Bodyguard has the advantage of a nine day first week but will have competition in its all important second and third week.

Till date the highest grossing film which had competition from a successful film releasing a week after is Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara which will gross around 87 crore nett. Prior to that was Hosefull which grossed around 72 crore nett. Golmaal 3 which grossed 107 crore nett had competition from day one but it was from an unsuccessful film Action Replayy.
