What do trade experts say about Tiger 3 advance booking?
Speaking with PTI, trade analyst Taran Adarsh said the movie is hitting theatres on Sunday, on Diwali Day, when Laxmi puja is happening in the evening, so people might go on Monday for a current booking. He added that it is too early to say anything, and will get more clarity closer to the release.
PVR INOX Limited, Executive Director, Kumar Bijli, believes that the movie might cross Rs 200 crore on its opening weekend, due to the long festive weekend. He added, "Despite the movie releasing on Diwali day, we have already generated advance ticket sales of 100,000 tickets, including 60,000 for the 1st day. Considering the huge fan following of Salman Khan across the country, and with its dubbed versions in Tamil and Telugu, the movie has been able to attract audience attention beyond the Hindi belt."
