Diwali festive week
This year, the Diwali week is going to be an important and exciting contest for the Indian box office. On one hand, Ranbir Kapoor and Yash's much-awaited film 'Ramayana: Part 1' is all set to hit the big screens, while on the other hand, the re-release of the Japanese film 'Godzilla Minus Zero' and the famous 90s film 'Mohra' has made the competition even more interesting. However, there may be a new twist in this contest regarding IMAX screen allocation and release schedule, which may change the situation in favor of 'Ramayana'.
Start of advance booking
Advance booking of 'Ramayana: Part 1' has already started before its release on 5th November. However, it may face competition from 'Godzilla Minus Zero', while 'Vanguard' is also returning to the theatres.
box office clash
The release of 'Ramayana: Part 1' on November 5 and the possible release of 'Godzilla Minus Zero' could lead to an interesting clash at the box office. The re-release of 'Mohra' on November 6 will further increase this competition.
Does 'Godzilla' have an edge in advance booking?
In America, 'Godzilla Minus Zero' has already taken the lead in advance booking. However, its booking has not yet started in India, leading to speculations that its release may be postponed, but no official announcement has been made on this.
Possible collision on IMAX screen
According to media reports, the clash between 'Ramayana' and 'Godzilla Minus Zero' is not possible for IMAX screens in India. With this, 'Ramayana' may get better IMAX slots, but no official information has come on the change in the release schedule of both the films.
'Mohra' returns after 32 years
Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty and Raveena Tandon's 1994 action thriller 'Mohra' is returning to theaters in a 4K-remastered version on November 6. This re-release is being done by 'Trimurti Films'.
'Ramayana' benefits from IMAX
The possible change in the release schedule of 'Godzilla Minus Zero' may increase the chances of 'Ramayana' getting a premium-format screen. IMAX tickets are more expensive than regular tickets, so a film's performance on it can be crucial to its overall earnings.
