The Jungle Book has opened very well taking a 50% apprx opening on average across India. The opening is on par with Batman v Superman at major multiplexes though smaller multiplexes are less due to the action factor. Still the big difference is The Jungle Book is for family audiences which gives it good potential for growth this evening and over the weekend while Batman v Superman was a more front loaded film.

 

It would be no surprise to see the day one figure beat Batman v Superman due to the evening crowd. This sort of opening for this genre probably ensures success as the target audience is still to come. Its been over three months in 2016 and its two Hollywood releases Batman v Superman and The Jungle Book which have taken a good initial and that too all over which is a reflection of the limited interest that Hindi films released in the first 3 months have generated. Hopefully Fan will change this.

 

The Hindi releases Love Games and Club Dancer opened poorly at most places. Love Games managed bit better collections at some mass centres and it could have some chance in these centres but the collections have to be good rather than below average to average. The weekend will belong to The Jungle Book and its looking potentially to do very well.
