RRR Friday (Day 1) Collection Update for Morning, Good Start

RRR Hindi version has taken a good start at the box office on opening Friday. Although advance booking for the film was slow spot booking helped the film cause and that's why a decent start it has got. If the film shows good growth through the day then expect a good total by the end of the day.

RRR opened with 30-32% occupancy in the morning shows today. This is not at all bad considering film is getting a wide release. Also, ticket prices are at an all-time high. When advances are seen last night a 30 plus occupancy opening in the morning was doubted then. Spot booking is rocking for the film at this moment.

RRR is aiming for at least a double-digit opening for the day. Ideally, the film needed an opening of 15 to 20 crore nett considering the budget. However, a 12-13 crore nett will also be a decent start if the film is able to show a good jump on Saturday and Sunday.

As for the theatrical fight with The Kashmir Files. It is not a crucial issue as TKF is already into week three and already a large chunk of audiences have watched it. There will be some effect but that should not be a big roadblock for RRR.

RRR Telugu version has opened to record numbers all across India. Film box office performance is simply insane in south India. Even in the north, the Telugu version has taken a record-breaking start. At this moment Hindi version is lagging behind but if the film carries good word of mouth then Hindi will take over the reins post opening weekend for sure. Hindi belts tend to trend better for good content films than South India.
