Seven films, inclusive of two dubbed ones, will hit the theatres this weekend, out of which, Saakshyam and Happy Wedding have sort of awareness while the others will find tough to find any audience. Among the dubbed titles, Mohini will be having a wider release whereas Mission Impossible: Fallout will be limited to DCI Screens only.
Saakshyam will be the top film during the weekend, with the film looking to record career best numbers for Bellamkonda Sreenivas bettering Jaya Janaki Nayaka opening day of ₹3.28 crores share in Telugu States and weekend numbers of Alludu Seenu ₹9 crores domestic share. However that won’t be of much help as Theatrical rights are valued at more than ₹25 crores until unless audience reports are favourable.
In second place, It will be a close race between Mohini & Happy Wedding, despite the latter releasing on unconventional Saturday. Mohini will be benefited from a more appealing genre, wider release and of-course an additional day. Both films don’t have much buzz and will be relying upon the word of mouth to put some sort of performance.
Mission Impossible: Fallout looks the best among new release, with extraordinary pre release reports and critics going mad with 97% on Rotten Tomatoes. That said the English version of film will open to excellent numbers in Hyderabad and other premium centres. Previous film in franchise was affected in Telugu market due to release of Srimanthudu, this one can do good business.
