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.

Now all records will be shattered…first day record of ek tha tiger is now in danger
Good disicion because we muslim bro don’t watch films during ramadan even i can’t watch the film on 8aug. So now every records will be in danger, 1st day col of ce will 35cr plus sure even it may cross 40cr anything can happend, because ce create 92% buzz befor 3week of its release. Life time col will depend on content because content is the king of boxoffice and srk is the king of bollywood.
now I think OUTIMD ll find it more difficult to get screens …
hope my king finally manages to score at the box-office. hope the magic of Rohit Shetty Sir saves my king’s career.
N bit disappointed with d decision coz
I ll have to wait one more day to see the movie…
:-(
only 6 open days now.congratulation salman fans,ready’s record is safe now,,once again.
and ETT first day record,,well it is only a dream for srk…25-26 crores max. on opening day.
So CE will have just 6 open days now.Bad move bcoz after 6 days OUATIMD will take over.
this is really bad decision…bcoz now CE will loose at least 20 cr that they could have earned on 8th aug.
@indicine I am SRK fan but don’t know if this move will benefit movie more or will harm it more in terms of box office collection as now it will only have 6 open days as compared to 7 earlier? Please share your thoughts inputs.
i don’t think that its a gud decision….i don’t knw what make them to take this kind of decision….but our long wait has extended for one more day….but collections will differ or not, it will be the matter of concern..
Mark my words now its almost certain that
1 ce will go as yjhd way
2 ouatmd will go as ypd2 way
3 ouatimd struggle to get screen like ypd2.
4 ouatimd buzz is less than 50% and ce buzz is more than 90%.
5 so each and every single records are in dangered.
now sure that the first day ll be huge ..
nearing 40 cr..
n 15th august too ll be around 20
1st day 38 crores mark my word
Since 9th is a friday so no added benefit. Loss of an extra day. they actually were trying to be smart when they made Ekta kapoor shift her date release for OUATIMA. They wanted to get benefit of an extra day when eid was on 8th and now since eid is on 9th,they have no choice.15th aug is a bigger holiday and the makers of OUATIMA will be having their last laugh.
Waiting for mental
abbe? OUTIMD ll take over?? Hehe nice joke ..
srk rockz
n balaji,akki shocks
Mark my words now its almost certain that
1 ce will go as yjhd way
2 ouatmd will go as ypd2 way
3 ouatimd struggle to get screen like ypd2.
4 ouatimd buzz is less than 50% and ce buzz is more than 90%.
5 so each and every single records are in dangered.
6 ce weekned will be 78 to 85cr.
So, smart move.
Now it will boost its opening. .good luck to this movie. .
after 9 august ETT’s first day box office will erase from record book.
Srk Once again proved he is marketing Genious When it comes for business he is truely Badshah He knows the meaning of Goodwill So he postponed I hope 35Cr+ on first day is on Cards but suffer 20Cr approx due to Aug 8th Whatever maybe this time it clearly shows he wants to prove his commercial stamina in india
Now salman fans ko daar lag raha hai ki pehele ranbir ne dabangg2 ka record tora aab ce ne ett ka record tor dega. Keep it onn, king is back.
Hope movie is good.i not like promo or songs except kasmir to kanyakumari.

@Romance Express : Finally u proved u r only a srk fan not a khans fan. You praise n support all 3 khans to downgrade Hrithik n now u r saying salman fans r scared? r u kidding or u on a weed?
when r.one and JTHJ were going to release these srkians r saying the same thing…….and after film release there is big list of excuses……so again i m ready for excuses
now Chennai Express will become Record Express :)
All srk fans : Trekking a tiny hill is not as equal as conquering mount everest peak. Opening record may be a tiny success but your srk cant break salmans various records !!!!!
R.I.P. all records
