EXCLUSIVE: Aamir Khan tries a BOLD new release strategy - opens Ek Din's advance bookings 39 days before release; Raipur delivers the BIGGEST surprise On March 23, several moviegoers using ticket-booking apps were taken by surprise when they noticed that advance bookings for Ek Din, slated for release on May 1, had already begun. At first, many assumed it was a technical glitch, as ticket sales usually open just a few days, or at best a week, before a film’s release. However, it soon became clear that this was no error and that the makers had indeed decided to open bookings for the Junaid Khan-Sai Pallavi starrer, that too 39 days in advance. Bollywood Hungama surveyed the film’s ticket sales across major centres in the country and found that tickets for Ek Din are currently on sale in nearly 20 cities. In all cinemas, tickets have been opened for only one show so far. Delhi-NCR takes the cake, with Ek Din's advance booking opening in 24 screens, followed by Mumbai with 11 screens. In Chandigarh and Pune, tickets are available in 3 theatres each. Meanwhile, the advance booking has opened in one screen each in Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Surat, Vadodara, Indore, Bhubaneswar, Amritsar, Dehradun, Guwahati, Udaipur, Prayagraj, Raipur, Patna, Gorakhpur, Jalandhar, etc. What has come as a pleasant surprise is that despite such an unusually early start to advance sales, and despite Ek Din not being a front-loaded film, the response has already been encouraging.

EXCLUSIVE: From 6 IMAX shows on Day 1 to 108 a day in Week 2, Project Hail Mary proves unstoppable as audience demand explodes; The Super Mario Galaxy Movie secures 66 shows; Dhurandhar The Revenge down to 21 shows Last week, Bollywood Hungama did a viral story that on the day of its release, March 26, Project Hail Mary was able to secure shows in only 6 out of 34 IMAX screens in India. Thanks to the impact of the Bollywood Hungama article, relentless efforts by the Sony Pictures team and sustained pressure from the fans, the exhibitors finally relented. From March 27, all the theatres of IMAX started playing Project Hail Mary. The demand was such that Eros Cinema even played a show at 3:45 am on Saturday, March 28 and Sunday, March 29. Yesterday, it came to light that the Hollywood studio again had to put up a tough fight to get shows for their film in its second week. What complicated the matter is not just Jio Studios’ insistence for IMAX shows in Dhurandhar The Revenge but also persuasion by Universal Pictures to play The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. Bollywood Hungama has now learned that the issue has been resolved and Project Hail Mary has emerged victorious. A source told us, “Project Hail Mary now has 108 shows across 34 IMAX screens in India. As for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, it will play 66 shows. Meanwhile, Dhurandhar The Revenge will have 21 shows a day. In short, Sony has secured nearly 2x the IMAX shows compared to Mario and 5x compared to Dhurandhar 2 ... #March #Super_Mario #Mario_Galaxy #Bollywood_Hungama #Galaxy_Movie #IMAX #Project_Hail #Hail_Mary #Hail #IMAX_shows
