20.12.2013 - RELEASE Date of Dhoom 3 - NON-HOLIDAY - Working

Why the hell YRF didn't chose 25.12.2013 - The Perfect HOLIDAY Opening for D:3??? Dhoom 3 has the maximum buzz for any movie who is in making for 2-3 years, Aamir's Big movie, Katrina's Big movie, both coming for 1st time... Dhoom Super Successful Brand... Xmas - New Year Long Holiday Weekend India n overseas...

Now D:3 will be huge Day 1 with 3800-4000 Screens n Ticket HIKE, in 25-27 cr range... but it won't have advantage of Holiday 25 opening which might have landed 40 cr + opening for it...

So is it the Right move from YRF 2 release it on a Non-Holiday style? or they are over confident as D:3 will break CE/3I records even with a Non-Holiday Opening??

Your views... !!

Don't u think Initial RECORDS like DAY 1 BIGGEST, WEEKEND, 1st WEEK would have been cakewalk for D:3 if it would have landed on Dec 25...

Also with Non-Holiday start n just 1 holiday on Dec 25, only 40% Ticket HIKE like CE could push D:3 Lifetime even close to 3I & CE.

They are going for lifetime record, I think they are quite confident about the product(meaning WOM would be good)

Aamir is smart. He is aiming for the BIG one that is lifetime. He doesnt want to be so near yet so far like Bhai's 199cr for ETT. K3 should also move to a Friday.

YRF and Aamir targetting the Lifetime collection record not the opening day, weekend etc ! Full on Dhoom for 3 weeks with no competition.

Why have a 40 Cr day 1 and 8 Cr Day 5 when you can have a 30 Cr day 1 and a 30 Cr Day 5.

This is 110% sure as D:3 won't have 3I kind of content on which movie will sustain for 2,3,4 weeks on big numbers, RELEASE SCREEN Size will be highest, TICKET HIKE Hoga as 3I n GHAJINI had it n latest CE trend also... They are aiming HUGE but they r not giving STARTING a BUMPER with HOLIDAY advantage.
