The highly anticipated film “Crew,” starring Kareena Kapoor Khan, Tabu, and Kriti Sanon, is scheduled to hit screens on March 29. With a public holiday in several areas due to Good Friday, the film is expected to enjoy a decent opening day, likely reaching single-digit crore figures. The trailer and songs have garnered positive responses, fueling high expectations among audiences, especially with such a stellar cast.
Let’s delve into some key details: “Crew” has received a UA certificate from the Censor Board of Film Certification, with some minor cuts suggested. The film’s runtime is 2 hours, 3 minutes, and 32 seconds. It will be released across 2500 screens in India and approximately 1000 screens globally, marking a substantial release.
As per reports from Pinkvilla, around 3700 tickets for “Crew” have already been sold across the top three national chains, including PVRINOX and Cinepolis, through advance bookings. While this number is expected to rise leading up to Friday, additional sales are anticipated through current bookings. The film is poised to attract more audiences from multiplexes and top-tier cities compared to smaller towns.
The weekend box office performance hinges on critical reviews and advanced bookings. To achieve an opening of around Rs 7-8 crore, it needs to sell between 35,000 to 45,000 tickets in national chains. With no major competition until April 10, “Crew” has an opportunity to sustain its momentum, especially if it receives favorable reviews.
Overall, the film’s success in the initial days will determine its long-term performance, potentially holding strong at the box office for at least ten days or more if it resonates well with audiences and critics alike.
