According to the latest reports, the shows of Dhurandhar are set to be reduced as Ikkis is taking over the big screens. Read on.
Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna starrer Dhurandhar has been fulfilling its dream run at the box office. After the film released in theatres on December 5, several other movies like Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2, Avatar 3, and Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri hit the screens, but none of the films could stick to the box office like Dhurandhar with such a big collection. Dhurandhar was getting more screens in theatres than any other film. However, the show of Ranveer Singh starrer will be reduced in the fifth week. As reported by Bollywood Hungama, Ikkis which will be slated to be released in theatres on January 1, will have a good number of screens.
A source told the portal, “Ikkis is distributed by Jio Studios, which is also the distributor as well as the producer of Dhurandhar. Hence, they have no qualms now if Dhurandhar’s shows reduce since the Ranveer Singh-starrer has already done huge business. Moreover, it will enter into its fifth week on Friday, January 2. Accordingly, they have asked for around 30-40% showcasing for Ikkis.”
“In cinemas with 2 screens, they have asked for 4 shows. In three-screen cinemas, they have requested for 6 shows and 8 shows in 4-screen multiplexes. In cinemas with 5 screens and more, they have made a request for 10+ shows. And that’s not all. In single-screens and 2-screen and 3-screen cinemas, they have instructed exhibitors not to have shows very early in the morning, possibly because Ikkis is a film that will not attract the audience early morning and would grow gradually by word of mouth,” the source added.
The source added that the ticket prices of Ikkis will be sold at regular weekend prices. The tickets for the film will be at reasonable prices.
