Brad Pitt’s ‘Fury’ postponed by two weeks for SRK’s Happy New Year

Brad Pitt’s upcoming film ‘Fury’, which was initially scheduled to release in Indian theatres on October 17, has now been postponed by two weeks because of Shahrukh Khan’s Happy New Year.

PVR Pictures, the distributors of ‘Fury’ in India will release the film only after the Diwali festivities and a week after Happy New Year releases in theatres.

“However, since the worldwide release is Oct 17 and that’s peak family time in India, given the festivities of Diwali, we took a conscious call to push the release.

“Also, ‘Happy New Year’ is coming out too, which will definitely be a priority watch for the audience as most people wish to during this period, watch movies with their families. We didn’t want to dilute the release of our film,” Deepak Sharma of PVR Pictures said in a statement.

Fury is a war drama, which also stars Shia Labeouf.

  • @Hrithik — And AAMIR calls his contemporary a dog just to promote his films and also started the trend of stating the advance booking of his films in media and sending people with gajhni haircut and posters in halls during others film release. Lol

  • @Hrithik, Sarkar Steals Dam Water from drought hit village???? ROFL! That one has left me in goosebumps..hahaha

  • Aamir is a fabulous and he has been doing a great job since 2005-06 but SRK has been doing the same job since 1995 in overseas as well as in domestic market…Aamir showed his strength after GAJNI and #idiots…but SRK has been showing his strength since the release of DDLJ…and he continue with KKKG,KANK,My name is khan, Chennai Express and many more….so he is the KINGGGGGG…A SELF MADE KING….HE RULED, RULING & WILL RULE THE INDUTRY…..POWER OF THE KING

  • HNY WILL BE MORE CRITICALLY ACCALAIM THEN THREE IDIOTS AND WILL BE INDIA’S OFFICAL ENTRY FOR OSCAR AWARDS.UNDOUBTY HNY WILLL HAVE BEST WOM EVEN BETTER THEN 3 IDIOTS 2 STATES EK VILLIAN QUEEN

  • Looks like every thing is going ön hny’s side…. A solo release on the very next day of diwali…4200 screens… A 42 crore opening is very much on the cards…hell yah..i’w waiting

  • How much will Fury have collected irrespective of its release date? 15 to 25 cr max.

    The makers of HNY gave 10 cr to postpone it, and advertised saying it was scared. Wo win situation for both.

    Hny gets fake publicity and Fury distributors gets good returns by just changing the dates. The dont lose a penny and they get same returns when they actually release it on another date, ciz Fury is not Avengers 2.

    This is new style of blackmailing upcoming hyped movies and get handsome return and then postpone our release date.

    It happens only but if they know the upcoming hypedbig movie has vulnerable makers not confident ant their products.

  • Tremendous response to advance booking in all NCR region for bang bang . More than 50% seats have been booked in the very first day . now I am sure that dhoom 3 record will be history. Really tsunami is coming on box office on 2nd Oct which will likely to destroy all previous records.
    Never before seen craze for any movie

  • SRK is coming with 6 Loosers dis Diwali

    His last Diwali releases Raone – Flop

    JTHJ – Helped Son of Sardar to cross 100cr :P

    150cr bhi mushkil

  • @sid_original @legend morons ….first decide whether you are are aamir or salman fan……..we SRKIANS don’t go here and there and we stick to SRK unlike some some salmir fans to save their asses…..GET A LIFE
