I think, bumper openings like these are the normals because producers and
distributer prefer carpet bombing so that many actually end up getting tickets.
I was checkin the tickets for adhavan (tamil) and there are over 50 shows a day
in chennai. Mayajaal alone runs over 25 i think. This is to make maximum people
watch the movie legally and in big screen and perhaps before the reviewers
trash it.
But the occupancy will drop to below 60% from monday onwards and that
determines the financial fate.
The guys in BLUE will get theit cost out by the running of this week, plus DVD
rights and DTH on demand rights. Commercially even rahman has nothing to
fear.Its anothony desouza who will be in a soup!
