Chennai Express to release on August 9th

We’ve just been informed that Red Chillies Entertainment’s upcoming Eid release Chennai Express will now release on August 9th instead of the earlier announced release date of August 8th 2013.

The Rohit Shetty directed film stars Shahrukh Khan and Deepika Padukone in the lead.

The reason for the postponement hasn’t been revealed, but it looks like the makers want to cash in on the national holiday for Eid-Ul-Fitr.

  • @hrithik
    very right bro, its impossible for any1 to break the reckord set by salman’s flop film. bhai rox!!!

  • if its releasing in 3500+ screens …..then its a good decision………….opening day ka naamo nishaan mita dega…….

  • its a gud move buy ce and team,opning will b bigger now,35+ cr is expected
    so there is slight change in countdown

    CHENNAI EXPRESS departs in 21 days
    “get on the train baby”

  • First week : 1st day – 35 crore + , 2nd day – 30 crore ,3rd day – 30 crore..remaining 3 days – 30 crore …so first 6 days 130-140 crore…& wait for 2nd weekend because there are 3 clear holiday…& chennai express will get minimum 1800 + screens…so mass audience & we SRKians will go maximum number in 2nd weekend too.. 2nd week also will huge with minimum 40 crore + total… What u say @indicine team

  • This film will now beat the first day of EK THA TIGER.
    But the record for the fastest to 100 crores and fist week will be difficult to attain.
    Very excited for this EID!!!!!!!!

  • will create records for sure, but will lose around 10-15 crores, because now it has only 6 open days.

  • not even one song is gud nor the trailer if chennai express a crap score 35 crore at box office no doubt dhoom-3 and mental will open 40 crore….

  • I think I am the Only One Commenting IN A Fox Cove…..lol…..Chennai Express Will Derail….Mark my Words Guys……DERAIL……..You talkin about a 40 Cr Start…..lol….That will be Its 2 Days Collection and Lifetime anywhere Between 80-120Cr……:-)…….Peace Out….!!

  • Hahaha SRK fans have got a respite now- thank god for the postponement they secretly wish…! Because we all know that the extra day will now be used to absolutely guarantee that atleast on Youtube, the Chennai Express trailer gets a BlockBuster status.

    Guys like ‘beingxzonefan’ will work frantically using all of their current IDs like ‘sachin111’ and ancient IDs like ‘star’ to hit the ‘like’ button non stop now until Aug 9th…! ;-)

  • First Day , First Weekend, First Week record will be all in danger now…cuz SRK doesn’t break records he makes them!!

  • Its good decision because—
    1-Single theater ownera and
    many multiplex owners also have
    contacted CE fr minimum 1 week
    means 7 days and 15 th august
    will be in first 7 days…
    2-So 15 th August will be much
    bigger than OUATIMD as CE will
    stay his all single screens and
    most of High level Multiplexes
    too…
    3-It will be a Holidays release.
    Collection will be over 34 cr even
    90% occurs with 3500+ screens..
    4-2 Big Holidays in 3 days
    weekend and in many placea
    10th aug will be holiday too..so
    Highest weekend record in the
    card..
    5- 3 big holidays in first week…
    130cr+ sure in first week..

  • ra.one had 3300 screns,negative wom but still manage 25 crore collection in it’s 2nd day.so i think ce is going to beat ett opening record as it will have 3500plus screns and there is no effect of wom in 1st day. So 1st day will be around 35 to 36 crore.

  • @beingsallufan: get your own id first before pointing others. FYI…. the world remembers only BB & ATBB not flops. srk hits are no longer remembered, after 2-4 years nobody will break srk record of giving most hit movies without giving any blockbuster.

  • @hrithik —- Its only you and some sallu fans who want to erase their memory but not the REST OF INDIA…..CDK,SWADESH,VEER ZARA are remembered till now and will be remembered in comingdays unlike BODYGUARD,WANTED,ETT and D2……And dont woory of BB or ATBB…..CE tumahara wo tamanna ouri kar degi…..9y) :-)

  • Kingshuk Bhattacharjee: srk fans are singing same song since Ra.One that he will break this record that record blah blah. Entire world knows what is the result of last 3 movies of srk. I aint saying they r bad or flops but srk power is not same as before, now salmania rules !!
