1 Oct
Summary
- Drishyam 3's advance bookings have already collected nearly Rs 38 crore.
- The film is releasing solo on Gandhi Jayanti, benefiting from a holiday.
- Experts predict an opening day collection potentially exceeding Rs 50 crore.
The highly anticipated final chapter of the Ajay Devgn-led franchise, 'Drishyam: The Conclusion,' is set to premiere tomorrow, October 2. This suspense thriller arrives as a solo theatrical release, strategically leveraging the national holiday of Gandhi Jayanti. The film is already demonstrating significant audience interest through its advance bookings.
Advance ticket sales for the extended opening weekend have garnered close to Rs 38 crore, with Day 1 bookings alone reaching Rs 19.71 crore. The National Capital Region is leading sales, with several shows in Delhi-NCR and Bengaluru already filling fast. Mumbai and Kolkata show slower traction, while Chennai exhibits promising signs.
Industry trackers indicate over 11 lakh tickets sold for approximately 36,000 shows, achieving an early occupancy of 13%, and around 85 shows are completely sold out. These advance numbers have already surpassed the opening weekend performance of the first 'Drishyam' film. The franchise's previous two installments have collectively grossed Rs 453 crore globally.
With the advantage of the Gandhi Jayanti holiday, trade experts anticipate a robust opening for 'Drishyam: The Conclusion.' Some forecasts suggest the film could even exceed Rs 50 crore on its opening day. Film trade analyst Sumit Kadel estimates an opening between Rs 45-55 crore, with the first weekend potentially crossing Rs 150 crore.
Furthermore, the film's overseas release is exceptionally wide, with over 1,300 screens across 60 countries, marking the biggest international release for Ajay Devgn. This global buzz could significantly contribute to pushing the franchise's overall earnings even higher. The success of 'Drishyam: The Conclusion' is eagerly awaited in a currently vibrant theatrical market.
