Gabbar Is Back Screen Count, Runtime, Budget

We answer a few ‘Gabbar Is Back’ related questions that we have been receiving in the last couple of weeks.

Q. What is the screen count of Gabbar Is Back?

A. Gabbar Is Back is releasing on approximately 3250 screens across India.

Q. How much does the film need to collect to be a profitable venture?

A. Gabbar Is Back has to collect around Rs 85 crore or more to be a profitable venture for its all India distributors. Which means, ideally, the film would have to open at around 15-16 crore on Day 1.

Q. What is the runtime of Gabbar Is Back?

A. The runtime is 2 hours and 12 minutes.

Q. Can Gabbar Is Back beat the opening day collections of Rowdy Rathore and also be Akshay’s biggest grosser to date?

A. With a chartbuster song and better marketing, Gabbar Is Back would have most certainly collected more than Rs 15 crore on Day 1. Having said that, box office is extremely unpredictable. There hasn’t been a big commercial film in a long time now and no film this year has appealed to the single-screen audience. So, Gabbar Is Back might surprise and beat the opening day business of Rowdy Rathore. As for crossing the 135 crore mark to be Akshay’s biggest grosser, it would depend on content and multiplex business.

Q. How is the advance booking of Gabbar Is Back, why haven’t you published an article on this?

A. There has been no article because the advance booking is poor, so why unnecessarily create negativity when most people don’t bother booking tickets in advance these days? Gabbar Is Back will be allotted plenty of shows and tickets will be easily available on Friday.

Q. Will Avengers and the Nepal earthquake affect business in North-West India?

A. Most Hollywood films that open well, show big drops in Week 2. So business of Gabbar Is Back might only be affected at select few high-end multiplexes. As for the earthquake, almost all theatres in India that were shut for a couple of days, have reopened.

Q. What are the Top 5 opening day collections of Akshay Kumar movies?

A. Rowdy Rathore is his best opener. Top 5 below:

  • 1. Rowdy Rathore (2012) – 14.5 cr
  • 2. Housefull 2 (2012) – 13.1 cr
  • 3. Tees Maar Khan (2010) – 12.75 cr
  • 4. Boss (2013) – 12.32 cr
  • 5. Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty (2014) – 11.48 cr

Q. Why do you think last few Akshay films haven’t opened well at multiplexes?

A. Due to high ticket prices, the multiplex audience don’t watch every film that releases in theatres. They prefer to wait for the response and only if a film has good content or is entertaining enough, they are willing to spend. And unlike stars like Salman, Aamir, SRK, Hrithik, who only appear in one / two films a year.. the audience always know that another Akshay Kumar film is always around the corner in 3-4 months. If Gabbar Is Back isn’t worth a watch, the audience know that Brothers is releasing in August!

  • Well done indicine,quite nicely answered all the questions ..Thanks!

    Hope Gabbar does well tomorrow!!

  • Gabbar is back has to open above 15 crore..holiday factor should definitely help the film and also 3250 screens are enough to put up that big number..anything under 15 crore will be disappointing to me

  • I’m back!!!! Well answer @indicine team
    @Indicine team, Holiday opening day 12.44cr not 11.48cr.
    Gabbar opening day 16cr to 20cr sure!!!

  • Salman khan wanted, ajay devgn singham, akki rowdy rathore maximum collection came from single screen audience due to good wom same thing happen with gabbar too…

  • Very good analysis Indicine ! Keep up the good work . It is very important for GIB to perform very well in single screens . If the first day collections are good, the content is good and the word of mouth is decent then it will have a good weekend ahead . Till now Baby is the highest grosser of 2015 so i hope Akshay beats himself and GIB becomes the highest grosser of 2015 . Fingers Crossed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Nd Yaah
    these 5 maybe the highest Grossers collection vise bt opening vise :> Sing is king > TMK > Blue > Kmbhkt ishq > ouatimd were biggest ! all opened to 100% occupancies bt at dat time screens were very less compared to now ! gabbar is back should open 15

  • indicine pls reply me….I am a new visitor in your site and I m a huge fan of your site According to your analysis will Akshay should appear in 1 or 2 movies in a year or he should be appear like these years…pls reply me.thanks:)

  • Thanks indicine for this superb article and also for not posting any article of srk and his crap films .keep it up indicine now ur page is free and clean from those stupid fans of srk not barking here since 4 days and i hope this will continue in future also

  • thank you Indicine.com

    Insha Allah Gabbar will open highest of Akki career and become the highest grosser of Akki career beat 135 crore of Rowdy Rathore

  • I am quite surprised to check that Gabbar has got shockingly less no. of shows everywhere..Down south in chennai,it has handful shows in 7-8 theatres coz of uttama villain of kamal hassan.ven in bengaluru,it is running on very less shows.

  • Akki fans
    All the best for GIB…
    May it break records as well as win hearts..

    From: SRK Fan….

  • I think even though I am an akki fan. I think it will earn only around 13 cr opening day

  • initial reports are outstanding
    movie is filled with plenty of entertainment
    akshay is complete actor among A list stars in Bollywood no one has ability to match his charisma
    15CR opening on cards

  • Akshays just made a statement that he will NOT donate the first day collections of Gabbar is back. What a shame that such a big tragedy was used to promote that cheap film. Flop for sure.

  • gabbar 65-85 cr
    velvet 75-110cr
    baijaan 195-240cr
    fan 130-175cr
    prdp 165-205cr
    dilwale 200-245cr

  • thats what i was trying to say.
    3-4 films per year is harming akshay himself nd his blind fans keep on bashing khans for doing less films.
    ok akki fans – keep on favoring akki for doing more nd more films , then have your faces down when opening day collections of his each movies get published.
    2 movies per year is max best scenario.

  • first day collection gib 13 cr …! LATEST NEWS ANLYSIS..!! ticket very high 275 ..vikaspuri pvr …

  • @king khan,tnx for support.we like to win hearts than records like baby did.best wishes for dilwale,undoubtly biggest grosser of the year.
