Movie releases 12 July 2013 - Box Office Prediction

Many movies getting released today, but only two of them are of any particular interest. In other words, 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag' and 'Pacific Rim' should get some opening while 'Shorts', 'Sixteen' and 'Boyss to Boyss hain' will be a wash out having no chance to making any impact at box office.

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag

Movie has been getting rave reviews not only from critics and trade analysts, but also from the other senior actors in the industry. Promos have been focused mainly on how Farhan Akhtar really turned himself into every inch of the character. Songs have become popular, they look quite refreshing and different. But something tells me that it is not going to get huge opening, certainly not in the single screens as it appears to have content that suits the audience who liked detailing and subtlety.

First Weekend: 19 Crore+
First Week: 27 Crore+
Lifetime: 35 Crore+

Pacific Rim

I am really excited about this movie. It is promoted as a big machine vs big monster movie, and it has worked for me. However, I feel that it has been under-promoted, and that also to make sure that expectations are kept in check. I guess makers didn't wanted audience to expect anything more than a fight among huge monsters, and then over-deliver in the movie. Early review of the movie has been good and I am expecting to have a blast in the theater.
