Mumbai, Nov 2, 2010: Golmaal 3 has been setting records on Cinematix for the last seven weeks. The film has touched an Interest of 79%, the highest ever for any film in the Week -1 stage since the start of Cinematix in May 2010. Dabangg opened at 83% Interest in the week of its release (Week 0), and Golmaal 3 is likely to have a similar score. Therefore, there is a strong indication that Golmaal 3 will be the second biggest opening weekend grosser of 2010 so far.
However, the difference in collections between Dabangg and Golmaal 3 will come due to the gap in the Unaided Awareness of the two films. While Dabangg was at 61% in Week -1 (and 80% in Week of release), Golmaal 3 was lower at 54% last week.
Considering both the parameters together, Golmaal 3 may open to around Rs. 35 crores nett on the opening weekend, surpassing big grosser like Raajneeti and Kites, especially if it gets favourable word-of-mouth on Friday.
Action Replayy, is also slated for a good opening, with good Unaided Awareness (46%) and Interest (54%) scores.
