High expectations from Sid & Hrithik’s duo

Might beat Vikram Vedha today!
With 2 crores gross earned already, the Siddharth Anand directorial aims to beat Vikram Vedha’s day 1 closing pre-sales of 2.95 crores gross today itself. Vikram Vedha is the only release of Hrithik Roshan in the post-pandemic era, and he’s all set to leave it behind by a big margin.
Show count & pricing strategy
As of now, Fighter’s 3D version is in the lead, followed by 2D and IMAX 3D. The 4DX version is yet to hit the mark of 1000 tickets. Across the nation, the show count has crossed the mark of 6000, and before the first show on Thursday starts, the film is expected to begin its theatrical journey with at least 11,000 shows.
Talking about the ticket prices, the makers haven’t fully opted for blockbuster pricing, as ticket prices are just a bit higher than the standard rates. This move will definitely encourage more people to watch Fighter in a theatre. Let’s see how the film proceeds from hereon.
Meanwhile, it is scheduled to be released on 25th January.
