Hollywood continues to dominate the box office as Superman opens to decent numbers after the back to back success of F1 and Jurassic World. The opening is not as strong as last weeks Jurassic World but that franchise is bigger than Superman as far as the India market goes. The film has an Imax release and that should dominate collections which may enable the national chain collections to be as good or maybe even better than Jurassic World Rebirth.

The main Hindi release is Maalik which opened to poor collections. The film is attempting to cater to the wider audience but its gone wrong in terms of casting as films like this need a star presence so is gets audiences in the mass belts or some hit song. Maalik has neither so it has not found an audience.

Another problem with these films is that they struggle to grow on day two as limited appeal for the bigger multiplexes and metros which puts the film in a tough position. Basically a film in this zone has to get some sort of opening day number up on the board.

There is another release Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyon and the less said the better for this film as the trailer was downright horrible and this reflects in the collections. Despite the clutter of releases the film has surprisingly managed to get decent number of shows in the main cities which are probably more than the content deserves especially in this congested period but these will go down looking at the opening numbers.
