Rustom vs Mohenjo Daro Screen Count Expectation

Q. How many screens will be given Rustom, if it clashes with Mohenjo Daro? And what will be the lifetime collection of Housefull 3? – Sachin

A. It’s still too early to talk about both films, without watching the trailer. The impact of a trailer can make a huge difference, so all eyes will be on the theatrical trailer of Mohenjo Daro. If it manages to create the kind of impact that the trailer (not teaser) of Bajirao Mastani did, then it’ll have a major advantage.

Rustom is targeted mainly at the multiplex audience, while Mohenjo Daro will have wider pan-India appeal. The Hrithik Roshan film is certain to get 3000 plus screens, Rustom would probably settle for around 1600-1800. Single-screen release of Rustom will be very limited, it’s more due to the genre than the star.

Housefull 3 should finish somewhere around the total of the previous Housefull film (116 crore). There could be a difference of around 5 – 10% depending on whether Udta Punjab releases this week or not.

  • Rustom will be a disaster in front of Mogenjodaro.
    Hrithik has a 244 crore grosser, Akki hasn’t crossed 135 crore yet!

  • Rustom look like another disaster for Akki…
    Maximum 60 cr…
    Minimum 30 cr…

  • Going to predict really THE BIGGEST FILM OF THIS YEAR (2016)

    MOHENJO DARO :: more than 250 Cr
    Positive points :
    ?1, HRITHIK who never follow certain date theory to release his films unlike EDX friendly KHANS instead All dates follow him. Be it EDX or Non-EDX, He is equally best in both unlike others (some are good only on EDX like KHANS and some are good only on Non-EDX like Akshay). “MOHENJO DARO” have much needed SUPERSTAR that is HRITHIK the biggest superstar of Hindi Cinema along with Salman, Aamir, Akshay & Ajay.
    ?2, GENRES :
      •ACTION-all time favourite genre for all age groups audiences from Kids to Youth to Old.
      •ROMANTIC-all time favourite genre for youngsters and most girls-women.
      •HISTORIC-Huge genre but remains less popular due to few films in this genre which is a novelty of this genre as well. All time favourite genre for all people except few most advanced urban people.
      •DRAMA-Most hated genre of all time (on commercial points) but whenever this genre loved by audiences, film termed as Masterpiece, Never seen before, Such good film after long time, Best film of this Decade etc. Most films of this genre (mainly Hits of this genre) make its name into Great Film Of All Time List.
    ?3, Now-a-days millions of views for trailers, teasers, song videos became too important to create incredible buzz for the film through News medias, social media like fb, twitter etc. “MOHENJO DARO” will have all that positive points. Overall “MOHENJO DARO” have HRITHIK who sets records like 1st 10M views, 1st 20M views with K3 and 1st 150M views with single Dheere Dheere Se on YouTube. Hugely incredible buzz on card after teaser posters, teaser & trailer release.
    ?4, Hrithik’s Successful Career that will boost the Film’s buzz and also attract some more audiences to come into theatres.
    ?5, Many people come into theatres to watch Hrithik’s Marvellous acting skills. With “MOHENJO DARO”, HRITHIK is going to set new bars in acting like KMG, JA, Guzaarish, Agneepath and many more.
    ?6, “MOHENJO DARO” is one of big cities of Indus Era (9000BC) the oldest civilisation of this planet and even older than Egypt (7000BC) and Mesopotamia (6500BC). People from all over the world (Indians are more) are excited about this film to know more about Indus Era. Indus Era itself is one of big reason for Huge buzz. “MOHENJO DARO” is very first film on this site.
    ?7, “MOHENJO DARO” will have melodious romantic songs that will suit most or will be according to the film and beautiful placed in the Film. That will exceed Film’s buzz incredibly and also bring huge audiences into theatres.
    ?8, Hindi Cinema’s Four LEGENDS (H.R, A.G, A.R.R and J.A) of their own fields are coming together again for a film after Critical Acclaimed and Box Office success “JODHAA AKBAR” which will create incredible buzz positively as Masterpiece in making.
    ?9, Director ASHUTOSH GOWARIKAR who gave films like Oscar Nominated “LAGAAN”, Critical Acclaimed and Box Office success “JODHAA AKBAR”, Critical Acclaimed “SWADESH” and name a few. Always gave great films whenever Ashu came up with Superstars. So expectations are not even a mini centimeter less than a Masterpiece.
    ?10, Ashutosh Gowarikar is the first director outside Rakesh Roshan with whom Hrithik worked second time. Deo or jodi of Actor-Director always gives enormous buzz to the film due to their past records together.
    ?11, No big film starring Superstar in 7-8 weeks or more unlike BANG BANG ! where Multistarrer HNY was released after 3 weaks of its run that eaten every space of BB!. If Film really loved by audiences then film will put up huge numbers in long time run at BO and sky is limited. 
    ?12, Huge success of Băhubali & Bajirao boost future Historical films buzz and expectations. That exceed expectations (Trade as well) like  first 400 Cr & 500 Cr without EDX.
    ?13, Independence day the one day affairs and not even 10% close to EDX holidays. But with this one day, MOHENJO DARO can put up 20-25 Cr/25-30 Cr more if solo. So it is good at a level.
    ?14, There is no such Pre-Diwali Periods this time unlike BB! where there was Pre-Diwali Periods after a week runs at BO that stopped the BB! to cross 200 Cr with clash and without EDX.
    ?15, Universal appealing film, so, all overseas records are in denser now. Disney production is a bonus point for biggest release everywhere.

    Negative points :
    There is no such negative points but few things that can be killer microbes like virus for MOHENJO DARO

    ?1, Clash on Non-EDX can stop the film to cross 250 Cr, not 200 Cr.
    ?2, Non-EDX release always stops Hrithik to give HGFOTY or HGFOAT. Will history repeat or change with “MOHENJO DARO”?  have to wait !!
    ?3, Whenever clash happen with films, there are another kind of negativity due to fans war and also it divides audiences. Other fans whose star films are not clashing spread negativity too by supporting small star film. Most recent examples are BB! vs Haider, Dilwale vs BM.  
    ?4, No chartbuster songs due to Epic theme will harm the film. Many films can put hip hop or rap songs but this one can’t and never. 
    ?5, It is monsoon release that can harm the film if it is heavy rain during its runs.
    ?6, Few audiences (mainly smart youngsters) don’t like to get bore even for a second and “MOHENJO DARO” will be a slow phase film.
    ?7, New actress in any Film always keep only Film’s buzz little low.
    ?8, Few audiences don’t like costume drama or Historical film.
    ?9, More or less BOI’s lower collections for all Hrithik’s films harm his films and career. Hrithik’s films earn around 25 Cr less in lifetime due to BOI’s lower collections negativity. BOI is biggest foe of HRITHIK’s career.

    I had made this prediction after Super success of my predictions for Dilwale, Bajirao and FAN.

    Expecting this prediction too will be as successful as my previous accurate predictions which was as below

    Dilwale :: less than 150 Cr
    Bajirao :: more than 150 Cr
    FAN :: less than 100 Cr

    Final collection of
    Dilwale :: 147 Cr :: FLOP
    Bajirao :: 187 Cr :: SUPER HIT
    FAN :: 84 Cr :: FLOP

    Accuracy :: 100%

  • Mohanjodaro 3200+
    Rustom 2200-2300 (same as Airlift)
    Don’t think so it would be that low for
    Rustom…!!!!

  • Destroyer of khans a big lol for ur prediction, salman made Eid holiday famous befor that diwali was biggest day n bang bang released on bkra eid with almost 5 holiday n collections 170 , boi 150 lol

  • I hope akki will see the reality and shift his disastum other wise ,he will not only lose his number 7 rank behind ranbir but he will commit suicide too.

  • No surprise here. Hrithik Roshan movies are keenly awaited and MohenjoDaro is one of the biggest movies of 2016. Most of exhibitors would want this movie to have more screens in both multiplex and single screen theaters. If trailer and music can help it achieve even bigger buzz, then Rustom makers may have no choice but to pre-pone the movie, which would be better for both movies.

    Rustom can do 100+ crore as a solo release, but it will be very tough if it clashes with a biggie like MohenjoDaro, unless MohenjoDaro has negative WOM.

  • I am still not sure why the makers of Rustom have opted for this date.

    Rustom lifetime on a non-holiday with mixed WOM>>>>Rustom lifetime on clash with positive WOM

    But no one knows Rustom might turn out to be a surprise too as Box office is highly unpredictable these days.

  • Rustom don’t stand a chance against Mahenjo Daro and every real Akki fan knows this,Rustom is niche film compared to Mahenjo Daro.
    Mahenjo Daro will have a very good opening,3000 screens are enough for a film to have a good opening and lifetime.

  • @tanmay @Fasal Karala ! you guys have to put some pressure on your respective brains.
    i agree that Mogenjodaro is bigger movie than Rostum. but you guys have to remember the budgets of both movie. if Mogenjodaro need 150 cr for recovery, Rostum need 70 cr for success. so please think twice before posting comments

  • clashing Rustom with Mahenjo Daro will not be a good idea since it will get very few screens,Mahenjo Daro is 1st film for Hrithik since 2014 and The return of Jodhar Akbar team.

  • Rustom Superhit.

    Mohanjodaroo Flop

    Hritik’s stardom is overrated.He should be compared with Saif and Shahid.

  • Jab sala 2 saal movie karega to most anticipated movie to hogi he ….Rustom and MD team should seat together and discuss about movie rels date so that clash can be avoid because both the movies are of high content.

  • Great .. Mohenjodaro will obviously cross 200cr ..im damn sure about it… Hope it will highest grosser of hrithik by beating krrish3’s 244cr ..best of luck for Akki.. He is a good actor bt Rustom looks like it will b flop if it clash with mohenjodaro.

  • I just want Rustom makers to stick to 12th August release date, even if it gets only 1800 screens , Still 10 plus opening will be guaranteed because of akshays loyal fan base and than WOM will help it to cross 100 crore ,it will get good benefit from independence day and 2 other partial holidays in that week!

    Mohanjodaro if Mixed WOM> 110 Average
    Mohanjodaro if poor WOM > 80 Flop

  • @destoyer of jaadoo:

    Is anyone stopping your jaadoo boy to release his movies on EDX??? If he is such a huge Megastar as you are pretending then why don’t he releases his movies on EDX and make others run away from the date (just like Bhai made raeesa)??

    BTW, if you remove holiday factor from jaadoo boy’s career you won’t even a 100cr grosser. While so called holiday dependent Bhai has given two 100cr grossers on non holiday period (out of them one is a huge blockbuster)..

  • I think argument on this topic is unnecessary. cause still there is time nd Rustom may still still shift to a new date.
    Wait for 1month, then situation will be more practical. Otherwise its pointless to bash each other.
    Peace guys..

  • Budget of Rustom is only 60-70..While Budget of Mphenjodaro is 140-160 cr..Major blow for Jaadoo boy and his fans..Even recovery of Mohenjodaro will be tough if it clashes with Rustom..Rustom will easily recover its cost
