Housefull 4 is set for good pre release advance numbers despite it being a weekend which is not good for collections due to Diwali and the take off is actually on Monday. The film opened advance late on Saturday but at limited screenings as the issue of fighting for screens was going on as there will be two other films releasing alongside Housefull 4. 

Basically the advance opened on 2 screens if a multiplex has 4 screens and the other two screens will be divided between the the three films depending on how it plays out between the distributors and exhibitors over the next few days. The advance of the other two releases Made In China and Saand Ki Aankh should start today (Wednesday). 

A few months back Mission Mangal recorded the highest advance for an Akshay Kumar starrer and Housefull 4 will not have a chance to match the sales of that film for the first day as it was a national holiday for Mission Mangal and for Housefull 4 it is the Friday before Diwali. But the three day weekend could come close if the Sunday which is Diwali day and not good for collections can get some advance sales.

Overall if the film can get over the 10 crore nett mark for advance sales for this dull weekend with not all screenings opening for advanceearly  it would be a good result for the film as it will mean solid numbers before the big collections collection on Monday and Tuesday. Ideally a Monday release would have been best for the film but it in Overseas that is very tough to do and there it would have had to have a Friday release which made a Monday release impossible.
