The movie will enjoy a huge extended weekend, and also has another holiday (Dussehra) on its 1st Tuesday. It would be interesting to see how well the movie holds up during these days. Also, there’s no notable release until Priyanka Chopra, Farhan Akhtar’s The Sky Is Pink. Even that film will work purely on word of mouth and might not affect the run of War.
