Clash between Hollywood film ‘Gone Girl’ and ‘Happy New Year’ averted

The clash between Hollywood star Ben Affleck’s “Gone Girl”, which was scheduled to release alongside Shahrukh Khan’s Happy New Year, has been averted. The acclaimed film directed by David Fincher will now release on October 31.

“Ben Affleck’s much-awaited and much-acclaimed ‘Gone Girl’ to release in India Oct 31,” said a statement.

The Hollywood movie, which has received a tremendously positive response at the United States box office, is based on a best-selling novel by Gillian Flynn.

In the film, Affleck stars as a writer who is caught in a media circus when his wife goes missing and the police suspect he is responsible. Rosamund Pike plays his wife.

Actors like Neil Patrick Harris, Tyler Perry, and Carrie Coon are also part of the movie, which had its world premiere on the opening night of the 52nd New York Film Festival last month. In the US, the movie released Oct 3.

  • Seriously bolu toh there is definitely no buzz for hny film like peekay….i hope hny would be able to collect even its investment cost….anyways gudluck for hny…i hope movie will not disappointed audience like besharam,humshakals,tees maar khan and himmatwaala.

  • haters like babaji will say theyre not interested in ben affleck and happy new year has no buzz even after brad pitt and ben afleck postponing their movies but will say he cant wait for pk’s flop stupid posters

  • Ben Affleck is fab actor..he was brilliant in Argo,can’t wait for his Batman vs Superman…

    Tell your Bhaijan to do one offbeat film and even if he does movie will not even collect 10 cr likh ke le lo

  • No interest in hny because torture crap film example oso and tmk. Hny can’t break Bang Bang lifetime record forget YJHD,ETT, kick, k3 and d3.

  • So, at last BOI declared the verdict of Bang Bang.. Its SEMI HIT like Jai Ho !
    BANG BANG = SEMI HIT
    HAIDER = AVERAGE
    ,
    if Jai Ho was a failure for Salman thn Bang Bang also a failure for Hrithik.. Accept the truth HR fans.. Be honest!

  • Bang Bang 15days total net:
    Producers figure: 170crs
    Trade figure: 133crs

    2-pk(210 crore)
    3-bang bang
    4-happy new year(150-165 crore)
    5-singam returns
    6-holiday
    7-jai ho

  • Why do we think agar wo mujhse pyar karti hai toh palat k dekhegi(if she loves me she’ll look back). Why do we think agar kisi cheez ko dil se chaho to poori kaynat use tumse milane main jut jaati hai( if you love something thing truly then the whole universe conspires for you to get that). Why do we think that one should never underestimate the power of a common man. It is all because of that one man. His movies have inspired us so much that he lives in each one of us in one way or the other. The country maybe divided by religions but it is united by shahrukh khan. People of all castes, religions and nationalities are ready to die for him

  • @JS — For salman we don’t have to go that much back….just go to the Kick trailer released page of indicine and there you will find JS — 1st day 40 crs….Lifetime — 300 crs.

  • Ben is superb actor.Argo jst blew me up when i came to know ben is director,producer and actor of film.
    I got very surprised when i saw ben in ‘Good Will Hunting’ coz the character was not so very powerfull and all credit was taken by Damon.
    If gone girl would clash with hny then “HNY” couldnt even recover its cost.

  • So HNY has only one week to prove itself…the way they are promoting the film looks like they have no faith in their content..so by promoting they are expecting a huge first week….

    First Weekend: 1st day 33-35 crores, 2nd day 30 crores, 3rd week 37-40 crores..= 100-110 crores. First week – 170-180 crores. Second week: good competition, 3 movies: Gone Girl, Roar, Super Nani. so screens will be less and collections would be 40-45 crores. 3rd week – heavy competition i.e Akshay Kumar’s Shaukeens, so collections will be 15 crores and rest of weeks 5 crores. Also the number of shows may be concern with movie duration being more than 3 hours…this will be a concern in at least 2nd week for sure…

    Total Lifetime: 250 crores Max (if content is very good) , 200 -220 crores – if mixed, 180-200 crores (even if worst). Overseas: 110-130 crores. Worldwide:450-500 crores.

    Records: First Sunday (Single Highest Day) and first week are the only two records it can break…

  • forget happy new year.. now here’s some news.. eid 2015 Bajrangi bhaijaan diwali 2015 prem ratan dhan payo.. eid 2016 sultan diwali 2016 shuddhi.. salman bonanza all the way!

  • Gone Girl is being praised too much by english media too- not seen it but good decision to postpone it in India by a week but I think it should release on Monday coz after weekend of HNY- that film will crash due to WOM getting out that its inspired from not one Danny Ocean movie but all 3 of them aswell as Cash + Players….!
