Wonder Woman 1984 did pretty good business in paid previews on Wednesday as it collected 80-90 lakhs nett. This is probably the best result since the reopening of cinemas in October. Tenet recorded day one numbers of 1.15 crore nett a few weeks back but that was a full day.

Wonder Woman 1984 had shows post 5pm only and even here Maharashtra has night curfew which means screenings have to finish by 10pm leading to limited screenings in Maharashtra. The screenings today will go up four fold which should mean a strong improvement in collections in Mumbai and Pune.

The collections should improve all over as today is the first full day of the film and if a film does almost 1 crore nett in paid previews then it is not much to expect a 2 crore nett plus first full day which would be a good result but in these times you cant be sure that 2 crore nett plus will happen. Many cinemas (multiplexes and singles) still remain shut across the country especially in the Hindi belts.
