After Christmas Day, this New Year’s Day was the most fruitful one for movies in Telugu states. After Christmas, Salaar saw some drops and failed to take a big jump. Devil, which was released last Friday also failed to take a decent opening, and the same momentum continued over the weekend. Bubblegum also did not attract minimum audiences and has been a letdown in terms of opening day occupancies.
The New Year’s Day has turned the tide in favour of these films. Today, especially from matinee shows, we witnessed a surge in occupancies. The theaters are flooded with heavy walk-ins. All theatres are registering their best occupancies.
Salaar has witnessed a massive jump today and the numbers and occupancies are way better than yesterday and Saturday. The same is the case with Devil which had its best occupancy today; even better than its opening day and weekend. Bubblegum also registered its best day today. Nani’s Hi Nanna registering good occupancies and housefuls, Even Animals which is nearing the end of its run saw great audience interest and hike in collections.
