Bang Bang Advance Booking – Detailed report

The advance booking of Bang Bang opened last weekend and the response, as expected, has been phenomenal. In Mumbai, the advance booking is comparable to films like Kick and Chennai Express, but lower than Dhoom 3. In the North, tickets sold in advance is significantly higher than Hrithik’s last release Krrish 3 which was affected by the pre-Diwali period and comparable to big releases.

At smaller centres and single screens, tickets have been selling at a brisk pace too – as good as any big release release in recent times. About 10-20% theatres started selling tickets yesterday and quite a few theatres are yet to begin ticket sales.

City-wise Advance booking, the detailed report after the image:

Hrithik Roshan's stunts in Bang Bang

Advance booking as fast-paced as some of the action sequences!

1. Mumbai City - Bang Bang is set for a huge release in the city of Mumbai with almost 3 times the number of shows as Haider. The film will be get around 1050 shows just in the city of Mumbai on Thursday. The shows are lower than Kick, Dhoom 3 and Chennai Express – but that is only because of the clash with Haider. The other films mentioned got solo releases.

2. Bangalore – Like Mumbai, Bang Bang also gets a huge release in Bangalore. The buzz in the city is high and most Hrithik films tend to open very well in the Mysore circuit. Advance booking is very good and tickets might be hard to find for those who decide to wait until tomorrow to buy tickets at the theatre. Again, the shows here is about 2x more than Haider. Also in Bangalore, premium tickets priced between 700 – 900 (including meals and refreshments) have been selling well.

3. Hyderabad - Incredible response in the city of Hyderabad, probably the best ever for a Hindi film release here. Tickets are selling like hot cakes. All shows are likely to run at 100% for the entire day here on Thursday.

4.  Mangalore - Advance booking is yet to open in one of the three multiplexes here. A single screen will also be showing Bang Bang. Advance booking isn’t great, but most shows are likely to run at full occupancy tomorrow.

5. Kolkata - The advance booking in theatres at prime localities have been selling well, others are yet to pick up. Again, number of shows are twice more than Haider, which is something that was expected.

6. NCR Region – Excellent advance, lots of shows already sold out. Bullets and the film will fly high on the opening day here. Huge initial expected.

7. Chennai – A city that loves Hrithik Roshan. Almost all his films after Koi Mil Gaya have opened well here. Bang Bang should be no exception. Advance booking hasn’t yet opened at many theatres, which is probably because of the jailing of the Chief Minister of the state Jayalalitha. Theatres remained shut on Tuesday and now that she hasn’t been granted bail, it remains to be seen if theatres will show films on Thursday. If they don’t, the opening day collections of Bang Bang will be affected.

8. Patna - Outstanding response here. All shows will be sold out on Thursday.

9. Chandigarh – At a city that doesn’t believe in booking tickets in advance, Bang Bang has managed to sell a few tickets. The response is much like most other biggies, but lower than Dhoom 3.

10. Ahmedabad - Plenty of tickets are currently available. However, Bang Bang is expected to fetch a good start here.

So far so good for Bang Bang. More than 10 crore worth of tickets have already been sold as of Tuesday. Today will increase that number further.

  • @saksham, 25cr is too modest for bang bang. I think its going to touch 30. Ce and bang bang releasing on sane screens almost. So opening will be almost similar I’m guessing.

  • I am enjoying very much reading the comments of HRhaters like @romance@queenshuk@kingkhan@v.shantaram…
    Keep burning!!!

  • @Ghost are you idiot kick was release on non holiday including ramzan pre eid but it was cross 26cr that too with salman heroine and debut director if bang bang will not cross 30cr then it is shame for hrithik .Don,t include haider as it is a offbeat movie with 3500screens ett was cross 32cr despite pre eid tha too about 2years ago so just don,t salman with any other small actor.srk has also a great fan following along with salman but none other has fan following like these two.

  • a 30 cr+ first day is easily acheavable..and if the film’s content is liked then a 120 cr (5 days) is possible!

  • @Ghost ett was also release in 3500screens 2years ago that too in pre eid period but that was cross 32cr so yes anything below than 30cr will be very bad.

  • Omg Bang bang advance booking just comparable not better than kick despite kick was non holiday pre eid release movie with debut director small but bang bang has katrina,hrithik,super action,holiday release but its advance booking is not better than kick now i am sure salman is the biggest superstar he don,t need any one he is the one man army hatsoff to u bhai.

  • @V Shantaram: Get your favorite actor in competition with another release and see if they have the balls to win the race. If there was Salman, Amir or SRK movies in pace of Bang Bang, then it would not cross even 160 crore rupees, let alone 200 crore. Get real and have some balls when you talk!!

  • @ arjun yes indicine said bang bang advance booking is extra ordinary in kolkata and for your kind info we dont have single theater in my village. how dumb u r?

  • haider is getting good reviews….

    Bang Bang everyone knows will be kick ass……

    excitement levels are high!!!

  • Yes the advance booking is phenomenonal in Hyderabad… Glad i booked the tickets as soon as they were available online… Or else i would have definitely missed the first day first show….

    In Kolkata its not just gud its phenomenonal…

    Haters say if the film doesn’t collect huge on BO it will b a shame for Hrithik…
    I say it will b a shame for Audience who make mindless action movies a huge blockbuster yet fail to appreciate true action thrillers….

    Go Hrithik Go…
    This film deserves 300cr lifetime…

  • @Rahul: where did you receive your education from?? how on earth you can expect a movie to earn 32 crore from 3,500 screens?? can you even calculate numbers?? looks like Khans fans are too moron to comment on a movie. Have you ever heard any movie of your favorite Khan to cross even 30 crore from 3,500 screens??

    what logic are you trying to create here?? Kick was released on more than 4,600 screens with solo release and you have come to compare Bang Bang’s rate of collection with Kick?? now go back to the past and check the collection of Jab Tak Hai Jaan which competed with Singham, you will understand what competition mean.

    I do agree that Haider is small film with small expectation but yet it has to have at least 1,200 screens which will be deducted from the screen numbers of Bang Bang. So get some education at first and then talk!! you know yourself ki Salman, SRK aur Amir ke utna aukad nahi ke woh Bang BAng jaise action movie kar paye. SRK kuch na karo phir bhi uske haddi bar bar tut jaate hai aur Salman ke movie me kuch bhi realistic nahi hai, he redefined the law of Physics because non of his action movie has any base when it’s compared with law of physics!!

  • Well, let’s see tomorrow!! Despite the clash, Bang Bang has got 3600 Screens what big films used to get just one year ago even when they were solo releases. Bang Bang should collect 30+ Crore plus if it wants to cross 200 crore barriers. To me, it would just collect around 27 Crores.
    On the other hand, Haider will emerge a winner because of its low budget. Hence, it has nothing to lose. It should collect 13-14 crores on the opening day.
    But I am going to give a ln honest review of Bang Bang tomorrow. I hope all jaadoo toy fans will like it……

  • It Nust Be Highest First Day Collection WithA CLASH !

    Hrithik Rocks ..

    If Bang Bang Is SOLO Release Then Sky Is The Limit !

  • nearly 30 crore day1 because of Shahid’s HAIDER
    otherwise Bang Bang becomes first movie to earn 40 crore on day 1

  • @indicine u r doing great job.
    When publishing 1st day collections.,.,…also publish overseas collections seprately as it will also be record breaking………..(well i m having gut feeling that record is on way….fingers crossed)

  • I always stated that Bang Bang doesnot have the advantage of franchise so it will be lower than Dhoom 3 in every case….but overall good advance booking for bang bang

  • I think its first day Collection will be around 32crs
    Weekend collection around 88crs
    First week around 155cr
    Lifetime collection around 240crs

  • Bengal collections of BANG BANG will be affected because of two high-budget Bengali films 1. Yoddha (Superstar DEV) 2. Bachchan (Superstar JEET)

  • Well I never seen huge crowed for a bollywood film in Singapore..
    But bang bang changed it…
    Even I saw some Chinese youngsters there.
    Super hit

  • @INDICINE
    How can you forget 5th biggest city of India JAIPUR in terms of box office business.
    Look at the advance booking of RAJMANDIR all shows are full for the whole weekend
