Good Newwz had the 11th highest day of the year with around 50 lakh loss due to the pretesting in UP. Its so solid number for a film which barring Akshay Kumar and the music does not have much initial value as the film is in that urban zone. If we take out the holiday factor then the initial is pretty much in teh Mission mangal range. It is also same range as Housefull 4 but that was hit badly by Pre - Diwali.

 

 

There is a record opening this year with War and Bharat also going above 40 crore nett and there are 15 films with an opening of over 10 crore nett which is a record but still the Friday initials have been pretty disappointing as most films sjould really have opened higher than they have. This can be seen by the fact that the Saturday growth is far higher now than it was a few years back. The top twenty opening days of the year are as follows.
