The advance booking of Happy New Year has opened all over the country. Majority of theatres have only started selling tickets of the film today, so plenty of tickets are currently on sale.
Even with a runtime of 3 hours, the Shahrukh Khan starrer has been allotted plenty of shows at multiplexes. The show count is about the same as Kick at most multiplexes, but higher than Singham Returns and Bang Bang. At a few multiplexes in Kolkata, where Shahrukh Khan is well and truly the king of the box office, Happy New Year will be running on all screens throughout the day. Just two shows are taken by two different Hollywood films at a multiplex.
The story in similar in other parts of the country too, Happy New Year will have absolutely no competition except in South India where two Tamil films have released today. But even in Tamilnadu, Happy New Year has been allotted a good numbers of shows, although advance booking at quite a few centres hasn’t begun here.
The opening is expected to be record-breaking in Andhra/Nizam (outstanding advance booking already), Delhi / NCR Region is off to a good start and even in Mumbai circuit tickets are selling quickly even though counters opened only today.
The increase in ticket prices varies from 5% to 15% higher as compared to Bang Bang, but prices are generally about the same as Kick.
Detailed advance booking report of Happy New Year will be out tomorrow. Box office prediction and much more later today! Stay tuned.
Film opened to tremendous response in Gujarat this morning from small town of Valsad to Ahmedabad. Going by the trend, film will have close to 60% booking by the end of the day. In Rajasthan, 65% tickets sold yesterday itself. North is picking up and east will be clses to 95% without any doubt. Mumbai and Pune have also opened to bumper response and it should be close to 90% by Friday morning. As of now it seems that, film should easily clock 33-35 cr nett on opening day and only question remains whether film will cross 38-40 cr nett on day one.
where is that irritable guy @ArjunKapoor ????
waiting for his over the top predications yesterday this guy made me laugh very much when he said Msd biopic will do 205cr
It’s a big movie starring Khan but won’t watch it as the director is also khan…would wait for reviews from critics and reactions fro audiences.. not much impressed by trailer…I hope movie will be decent enough to take me and my frens to theatre..best regards to HNY team ..cheers
Opening day 39 cr
300cr. – all time blockbuster
lifetime hight 170-190.
40 cr sure .king khan record maker.

hny 40 ,35,42,25,18,17,16=202 cr 1st week
It won’t cross 40 crores despite releasing holiday period but still collection wud somewhere between 35-38 crores…highest first day collection
Wow King Khan Rulz way to go HNY
Buzz is at its best.
At the beginning of October, HNY doesn’t have that much buzz (may be because of release of Bang Bang) but later it started picking up and the promotional strategies of SRK helped it a lot. Now, the scene is, everyone – from students to teachers and professionals to housewives, are talking about HNY.
Definitely content and WOM will determine the lifetime collections but HNY is going to have a record breaking opening that is guaranteed now.
1day-41 crores
2 day-32 crores
3 day-35 crores
but lifetime will be below 210 crores
i will be disappointed if it doesnt touch 40cr.
indicine, any info on the screen count ?
From KBC to comedy nights with Kapil, Tarak Mehta ka ooltaah chashma to Saas Bahu serials , everywhere you will find SRK and HNY Team. Moreover every two minutes, one or another brands will attach HNY trailer or stills with their advertisements.
Frankly speaking, once it comes to promotion, SRK promotes his movies insanely.
No wonder if, with such a buzz , HNY will create such a box office record which will be unbeatable for the next couple of years!!
3 hr runtime is a brrrilliant strategy of Teesra Khanand our King Sarook…! :-)
Really its a masterstroke by Laal Mirchi n Partners. ;-)
After 3 hrs of nonsense ki plot audiences will be completely bamboozled as to what film they saw in the first half an hour, what film was the inspiration for the middle segment etc etc- by unofficially remaking Players + Cash + Ocean Series (11 +12 +13) + ABCD the makers will ensure critics take longer than usual to write up their reviews hence the Bad WOM may only get out after the weekend is over n by that stage the damage to audiences sensibilities n the cash registers would have been severely damaged beyond repair…!
PS our confused between ‘honest speaking and manipulating the facts’ critik nipun kumar will be totally dumbfounded by HNY that his review may not be ready by the actual new year…! :-P
Wish u all the best srk :-*
